"Nothing will go to the landfill"....if it cannot be recycled or re-purposed,

      For the most part I keep an inventory of hardware and parts so vast that I seldom have to go to a hardware store.  Most of what I have was either bartered, salvaged or bought at the flea market for a half cent on the dollar.  Down at my dads is a 20' by 40' 2 story barn and a 50 foot house trailer.  They are packed full of inventories.  Most inventories are contained in empty tool boxes that I pick up at the flea market and at yard sales.  We have one warehouse up here and also my "tool bus"
