Salvage Retail

Iconoculture: DIY homebodies looking for the perfect retro pieces like the thrill of the hunt, and this one engages them in the process from start to finish.
“Everything must go!” – for real. Whole House Building Supply and Salvage holds 48-hour salvage sales on the site of soon-to-be-demolished homes where DIY enthusiasts can scout, remove, and buy building parts right off the house.
Everything from indoor paneling to patio flagstone is up for grabs at the sales, held throughout northern California and open to contractors and consumers alike. Resourceful shoppers get a real charge out of picking up French windows, crown molding, kitchen cabinets, or name-brand appliances on the cheap. But eco-minded salvagers also get the satisfaction of knowing they’re recycling materials that might otherwise be dumped into landfill.
