Welcome to The Tool Recyclers Blog
You can build a storage building on a low budget with unwanted or recycled materials.If you look around in the cities,towns,villages where you live I'll bet you'll find buildings being torn down and being thrown out. Why not ask if you could utilize some of the materials, there are some places that will let you take discarded lumber, windows,doors,bricks etc. at no or little cost.
Our storage building being an example. It is a pole barn style building built from less then perfect poles being slightly crooked/twisted poles, slightly crooked or twisted 2x4's,6,8,10 and 12 pressure treated or not lumber.
In our case unwanted temporary stairs are now floor joists and block flooring.Don't forget to reuse the plastic film for protecting floors discarded after job completion for vapor barrier for under floors.
OSB sheathing which is lumber mill by products reused to make the sheathing. Windows and doors are lumber store returns or damaged products.We will also be using a recycled overhead garage door.
Bricks are used for patio or driveway paving. Don't forget about oops paint it can be utilized if color choice is an option it can be used as a base or primer paint use desired color over it,which less higher priced paint used. Also check the secondary market lumber stores for savings.As in hard economic times there are options to utilize limited monies!!!!
Will add more pic's of our storage building in next blog
