Field Trip!

Howdy!

Awesome unexpected adventure was had yesterday! My friend Robert and I took my two very old four-drawer filing cabinets to the metal yard to sell for scrap. We went to Cherry City Metals and the whole process is very simple. Your vehicle is weighed on the way in, you dump the stuff where they tell you, get weighed again on the way out then go to the office for your money.
Very easy.

That wasn't the cool part of this though. Oh no. The cool part is the resale yard!!!

This was our view of it on the way to dumping the file cabinets off. Let the drooling begin. Yes, you do see part of an old airplane there.

Old chainsaw and bicycle chains. A barrel full of them!

Wait... horseshoes? Rusty and colors? Ideas are starting!

I need one of those circle swirly things for my walls!

Anyone need an old chrome school bell? With the clapper?!

Brass rings! A whole barrel of them! More ideas percolating!

I have seen some really cool art displayed on and made from rusty bed springs.

Wait a minute. Don't you need a metal art horse in your yard?

Love the texture of all the rakes. And in the background, old bench and shelf supports.
Fantastic architectural accents!

Spring is coming! And so are more cool ideas!

As you can see, Cherry City Metals is a huge playground of rusty cool inspiration. The yard art section is sold by the piece and the other stuff is by the pound. Unfortunately, I didn't ask them the price. Silly girl. Take a shopping box or trailer, depending on what you are digging for. And be prepared to find more than you were looking for. I'm still drooling on some mid-century patio chairs that were hanging out there.

Until the next adventure, enjoy!
