Reusing Junk

Hey guys, I know some of you on here are somewhat handy and crafty. I just recently have been getting into finding ways to reuse stuff that would otherwise be junk. Occasionally I'll find wierd stuff like closet doors and stuff which are a hit or misson craigslist, I wind up using them as firewood, throwing them out, etc.

On pinterest there's tons of good ideas to reuse things like old doors, old shutters, etc. I recently got a new puppy and already have  a 100 pound bulldog. Dog gates are expensive like $150 for one that covers a big gap. I had some doors I found in a storage unit, painted them and used them as a gate. Another cooll idea with old shutters is paint each one a different color, attach them with hinges and make a kind of foldable gate. Really cool and works well.

Just some ideas for those of you who like taking on projects and reusing stuf which may otherwise be junk

My dad takes dropside cribs which are illegal to sell now and turns them into Christmas tree fences. He sells them on the flea market in Florida from mid Oct - mid Dec and makes himself a pretty penny.
