It’s official: Spring has arrived and it’s now time to revisit that home upgrade you were contemplating but did not complete last year.
Perhaps there’s new inspiration calling you? Whichever it is, consider making it a fun and affordable adventure by utilizing used materials. The Gorge Rebuild-it Center in Hood River is the perfect place to start your search.
The store is much more than plumbing, electrical and hardware. New donations arrive daily with unique opportunities for indoor and outdoor home upgrades. For inside the home, you will find a wide array of furniture from cabinets, chairs, desks and wardrobes. Popular exterior projects included raised bed planters made from pallets and garden ceramic pots.
They have large food-grade drums perfect for collecting rainwater for irrigation including a plumbing spigot. Refurbished doors and windows can help build that greenhouse.Â
Some shoppers have found pallets can be turned into work flooring and tiles are ready to use for work surfaces.
Utilize reclaimed and repurposed materials and you can transform interior and exterior spaces affordably, reduce landfill waste and support a valuable community resource.
