We harvest basketball courts from schools. Apparently every 20-50 years schools replace 10s of thousands of square feet of gymnasium flooring and usually throw it away. Admittedly it is a bit of a pain to reuse in residential settings (but certainly pretty if the effort is put in) and considerable amounts of this material have been used to make counters and tables desks and bar tops. For these customers they wanted a gym floor table and we found a rare piece that still had its graphics. We found a pair of old 1950s conference table legs and designed a table around the piece...including having the graphics wrap around on the skirt.
The flooring is rock maple nailed into sleepers (essentially 2x3 ). I stapled 3/4 in plywood strips to the bottom prior to removing the sleepers. After the sleepers were removed I put some low profile stiffeners made of extra pieces of strip maple turned sideways. The apron was also made from extra pieces of maple. In this case I used the pieces with the graphics to create the waterfall effect. Because the maple is tongue and groove I have to piece together pieces on the groove side because they'd otherwise be backward. The corners were made with a mortise and tenon joint. THe apron is brad nailed into the floor and blocks glued and stapled underneath around the edges,
The legs from the old conference table were sanded primed and repainted with glossy white enamel paint. The top and sides are sanded with 220 grit paper and coated with satin, water-based polyurethane. Care is taken to not remove the patina and wherever cuts and sanding exposed new wood..time and sun will eventually even it out.

This building in downtown Traverse City's Warehouse District was built in 1904 as the Big Daylight Candy Factory. Today instead of making candy they make beer on the first floor at the North Peak Brewing Company. The rest of the space in the building is office and residential units.
Eagle-owl Spotted
(Bubo africanus)
The spotted eagle-owl (Bubo africanus) is a medium-sized species of owl, one of the smallest of the eagle owls. Its length is 45 centimetres (18 in) and its weight is from 454 to 907 grams (1.0 to 2.0 lb). It has a 100 to 140 centimetres (39 to 55 in) wingspan.The facial disk is off white to pale ochre and the eyes are yellow. It has prominent ear tufts, and the upper body is dusky brown, the lower parts off-white with brown bars. Prior to 1999 the spotted eagle-owl was considered conspecific with the greyish eagle-owl, but now it is classed as a separate species.
Its prey consists of small mammals, birds, insects, frogs, and reptiles. It often swallows quite large prey whole, with much head-jerking, and if the object is really challenging, pausing and resting with the mouth full. Prey too large for such treatment it will tear in the normal raptorial fashion, and it also tears shreds off prey to feed nestlings. The male will hunt and bring food when the female cannot leave the nest. Sometimes, even in conditions verging on starvation, he will tear the head off a mouse, but bring the body for the female to feed to the young, or to eat herself if the eggs have not yet hatched. The species is a non-specialised feeder, in contrast to say, the barn owls (Tyto) and is accordingly itinerant, remaining in a given region to hunt for a few weeks or months, then moving on when the local prey is no longer plentiful or easy to catch. Typically it will return at odd intervals of a year or two, depending on local conditions. An adult pair is typically very aggressive in defence of its hunting territory, and one obstacle for an adolescent to overcome is to find good feeding grounds where there are no incumbent adults to eject or kill it.
The calls are generally typical, musical eagle-owl hoots. Generally the male call with two hoots: "Hooo hooopoooo" and the female answers with three, with less stress on the middle note: "Hooo hoo hooo". The young do not hoot till effectively adult, but from a very young age they will hiss threateningly and snap their beaks castanet-like if alarmed. These sounds they make throughout life, generally in a threatening attitude with head down and wings spread sideways to present their upper surfaces forward, umbrella-like. They might present such behaviour either as a challenge to rival owls or when defending nest or young against enemies. The young at least have a whickering call of protest or annoyance when handled. In a comfortable social situation the youngsters have a soft croaking "kreeep" that they are prone to repeat at regular intervals of a few seconds. If they suspect that they have lost their company, the calls increase in frequency and they are likely to go hunting for their companions.
As with all owls this species, when detected, is subject to daylight harassment by local birds. In the Gauteng area its main and extremely loud tormentor is the grey loerie, respite only coming at dusk. Spotted eagle-owls are regular bathers and during summer thunderstorms may be seen on tree limbs or on the ground with spread wings.

This is the project that inspired it all. I made bunches of recycled t-shirt yarn just so I can experiment with making reusable hot drink cup sleeves.
The paper sleeves used in most coffee stores are made with 60% post consumer waste, but more often than not, these mostly recycled sleeves are discarded in the trash.
I made this with the thick yarn and a large crochet hook and worked in the round through the back look only, to kind of give it a bit of corrugated cardboard look.
After testing it, it insulates fingers from the scalding liquid from within while keeping hands gently warmed!
Here's what an old laptop looks like after it's turned over to my seven year old son, with instructions for him to reuse it.
This Moomin tote is MOOMIN with large M, it´s big a bag and big and cute is the guy on front too :)
An accessory I made from a black pillow case that Rudy chewed a hole in. It helps shorten the time for heating in the solar oven and is just the right size to fit a tortilla for warming up. I never got around to painting my jars black for use in the solar oven so now I can use any jar and a small one works quite well. I just don't tighten the lid down so steam can escape.

Pacific View Elementary School was closed a number of years ago due to changing demographics in its coastal Encinitas neighborhood. It's been vacant - and deteriorating - ever since, as the school district and community debate the site's future.
I love it when developers repurpose an existing building. From meat locker to high priced condos. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a condo close to the city...

Our reuseable grocery bags. I like them, because they hold more than plastic bags, have stronger handles I can sling over my shoulder, and are also useful around the house for storing other things. But I often forget to take them. If you've got a suggestion for how to remember to bring them with me, leave a comment here or at my blog.
