Old industrial smokestack given a new life as an antenna mast for cellular telephone, intercity microwave and wireless internet. Looking closely at all of the spalling on the concrete structure it makes me wonder just how much life this old stack has left. Lehi, Utah County, Utah.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday
Old Bell System central office tower repurposed to hold 3G and 5G cellular services. Salt Lake County, Utah.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
This china button began its life as a plate! Threaded through it is a piece of silk ribbon, which was once a sari. :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday group theme, Reusable or Recycled.
This outfit is probably beyond my repair abilities. Not only have two seams popped the waistband appears to have been 'shattered' where some stain has eaten through the fabric. But I've always wanted a pattern...I think I'll see if I can't make a pattern. :-)
The doll is my Fashion Queen. She needs some paint touch ups, but looks cute in this more modern wig.
I have seen red box repurposings, many of which have been either as book exchanges, or to house a community defibrillator unit.
This the first that I have seen for a community? planting. It's in the modern shopping district of Bath, Somerset.
One for my Red Box Project.
It needs more sun...
This last winter we decided to remove our old cast iron wood-burning stove and replace it with a stove that burns propane. It was a tough decision, but with me working away during the week and Marg not able to physically cut wood, it made sense. Plus, the propane burns much cleaner than wood, and I won't miss those pesky rats that loved to nest in the woodpile.
It seemed a shame to cart the old stove off to the scrap heap, so Marg decided to incorporate it into the garden. Our long rainy season helped to dress it in a beautiful coat of rust. I think it looks pretty good.

"So I have this Fore Grip that's illegal (in the U.S.) to put on a pistolized Thompson Submachine Gun. Now, three wood screws later, it's a handle for my camera cage. I hate seeing things go to waste...hehe!"
The historic Guffy Railroad Bridge is located at Celebration Park When it was built in 1897, it was the tallest railroad bridge in the nation. It is 70 high and spans 500 feet over the Snake River. The bridge provided railroad transport until 1947 when it was abandoned by the Union Pacific Railroad. After that, the Army Air Corps used it for target practice. Before being demolished, it was purchased by Canyon County and then restored in 1989. It is now used for foot and horse traffic to connect trails on both sides of the river.
Old boats never die they just slowly perish on forgotten shores amongst the shrills of the seabirds.

Into my mancave
It was my computer desk.
We no longer need two desks in the office…. Tracey took early retirement yesterday!
I had to take the desk apart to get it downstairs. Easy to put back together again. Just Allan / Hex keys.
My Mancave ♥️
gadget cases made with upcycled, recycled (whatever you want to call it) leather and scraps leftover from my Giddy-Up Skirts
We hired bikes for an afternoon and cycled to the South Western corner of the island at La Corbiere, one of the most fortified places on the island. This German observation tower from WWII has since been repurposed as a coastguard tower.
My theme is Heroes and Villains, and, of course, I related that to birds. I love the way drawings look atop page parts from old books. I have several book blocks from books I have repurposed into journals, so there is lots of chance to explore this technique!

Is it proper to still call this poor vestige of its former self a windmill? At least the base is still serving a purpose.
Tucked quietly away at a customer spur in the small town of Farewell, Tuscola & Saginaw Bay NW2 switcher no. 1977 sits as an end of track anchor for cars at the industry. A far cry from being actively used in switching duty, it has been repurposed. Here, GLC's Cadillac South Turn job passes the dormant switcher with GP35 no. 393 leading the way.
Used fire extinguisher now used as a pressurised gearbox and axle oil filler.
I have made several of these for different oils and fluids
This sign sits in front of an empty convenience store. I have no idea what (a) it originally said, or (b) what/where the heck Fre-Mar Valley is. Wichita Falls, TX
Southern Shorthaul Railroad's P14 and T363 head into Corio, in tow is a six-car Xtrapolis EMU fresh from the Alstom Ballarat workshops.
The spark set (154M-1377T-153M-132M-1366T-131M) is bound for the Newport maintenance workshops as train #9188.
P class locomotive P14 has recently received a 'spark' of new life, after being a passenger locomotive with V/Line. After the withdrawal of P class hauled passenger services, five engines from the P class fleet were purchased by SSR, creating a new life on transfer/freight work.
Corio, Vic.
