MORE ON SALVAGE AND RECYCLING FOR RESTORATIONS
$800 for an apron sink for our kitchen remodel!!!
I'm not willing to forgo the spirit of the kitchen plan because the old, discarded farm sinks have suddenly become popular. How is anyone suppose to do dishes with one arm because the other (and a leg) had been sacrificed to purchase the flippin' sink!
Same with the wonderful Clawfoot tub, and pedestal sinks. For goodness sake! I'm glad they're back in style, as well they should be; however, the astronomical prices of the replica's is, well....ROBERY!
I found a place that just might be able to help you out with much of your salvage needs. (Salvage basically means that it is origninal "OLD" stuff that you can recyle for your restoration project.) If you are restoring or remodeling an old historic house you might want to check out "Recycling the Past." Granted, the prices might still seem high for the item that you are looking for but, I'm pretty certain you'll have both arms (and legs) when you're standing at your sink washing dishes. If you have a dishwasher...well...consider yourself spoiled:-) I say that in a good way!
