Scrap Wood and Metal Walls
We made walls for our bathroom out of scrap wood and scrap metal. The boards are all 2x4s, 2x3s, and 2x6s from the scrap bin at the hardware store, and the metal is galvalume siding from a scrap yard.

Stone and Gravel Driveway Made from Found Rocks
We recently finished making a driveway out of rocks from around our property. All together, it took about a month, but it was well worth it since it's improved our yard so much! If you live in an area

Our New Fire Pit
We made this fire pit out of an old metal culvert we found and some rocks from around our yard. So simple, but so much better than just a hole in the ground.

Found this gravesite hidden away on an abandoned property. It appears to be the final resting place of the couple who used to own the land. Cool, creepy, and sad all at the same time. Steepshot IPFS IOS
