    I am making a fence out of metal headboard/footboards. My younger brother brought me this today, said he found it in a ritzy subdivision on garbage day, gotta love little brothers:

    Love, love, love it! My brother has been known to scrounge around on garbage day, but doubt he has ever seen anything like that. It looks brand new! Can't wait to see your finished bed! :p

    Thanks all, if we ever dry out in Louisiana I'm gonna have my soil hauled in and start putting it all together. Rain, Rain, go away.

    Some of my best pieces in my home are recycles.

    I used to scarf up all the oak pieces of furniture and refinish them for the house.
    Some unoak too.
    I have them here an wont give them up . Some folks offered to take them.LOL

    Some one elses junk is our treasures.. Went to garage sales galore. Crafts shows also.. If you look an look , you can go home an make your own. The way you want it..LOL

    Good job .Have more fun.
