Swords to Plowshares, Barbed wire to Tibetan Prayer Flags


Well, our excitement at Heritage Salvage about the impending annexation of the property into the city limits of Petaluma have caused us to dress up the front entry to reflect our pleasure. As a gift to the fine burg of Petaluma we have fashioned an old style barn roof sign of  "Welcome to Petaluma" and added some salsa garden beds with our version of a verdant flourishing lawn (recycled artificial turf) Our next step was to take some of the cyclone fencing down and replace it with chicken roosts repurposd as fencing. We have also begun removing the barbed wire, of which i am not a fan, and are replacing it with Tibetan Prayer flags. As i began researching Tibetan Prayer Flags, and discovered that there were like 500,000 places to purchase same (half of which are probably made in China), i handed the task over to the intrepid Kim Sprouse of our office and showroom fame, and she ended up speaking with the Marin Tibetan Center and they are going to have the Prayer Flags Blessed before we come to get them! 

Here is the Backside of our movie set entry way . . . our intention is to keep morphing the yard into a Green Architectural Playland! Many more things to come. At this point we have just received about 40,000 bd ft of con heart and con common redwood from a manufacturing concerns boneyard, 2x4, 2x6, 4x4, and 4x6, never used and dry! Another new addition is a collection of 60 limestone fenceposts from Kansas! Come on by!
