Clean up big time

2010-12-08T10:35:00.001-08:00

We just got three spools of 3/8" cable. Who wants to make a zipline somewhere? This is good steel cable, and there's a lot of it. Let's make a deal!

Building REsources works closely and in cooperation with the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council. Currently their community recycling center and San Francisco native plant nursery are being threatened with eviction under false pretenses. Help an important and long standing community organization from being scapegoated. Learn more at http://www.hanc-sf.org/

Laundry.

2010-11-09T11:10:00.000-08:00

We have one commercial washer and one dryer. These are just like the ones at the Laundromat, but without the coin slot. The dryer is gas and the washer is 220v. We usually don’t deal in appliances but these were too good to pass up. Hurry up before it rains.

Lumber! Bottles!

2010-10-16T12:30:00.000-07:00

We have been getting large quantities of high quality dimensional Douglas fir. It's all clean and free of nails. Some of the best rough cut lumber we've seen in a while.

Also, we hit the jackpot of old bottles. We have a few hundred bottles of various sizes. Mostly little ones!

Sunset Magazine

We've got a quick little mention in Sunset Magazine this month. Go grab a copy and find us on page 50 and 51.

Brick Brick Brick!

2010-06-17T13:54:00.000-07:00

Good News Everyone! 2000 red clay bricks, clean, no mortar, just magically assembled themselves into neat pallet stacks. They are NOT the old red clay clinkers, but the newer red clay bricks. $0.25 each. Borrow or steal a pickup truck and we'll forklift them right in.

Steve and Franck, two of our longtime customers, recently opened Passion Cafe. It's at 28 6th St. just off Market. They used quite a lot of our materials, they came, they bought, they laughed, they cried, and they obviously did a fantastic job with their project. Go buy a beer from them and sit on the roof patio, and then watch the cars go by.

Love and Pride

2010-06-02T10:21:00.000-07:00

I was going to get Love and Pride tattooed on my knuckles, but then we got these light bulbs. These are slightly less permanent. We've got a few thousand of each of these, and maybe 200 with Buddha or Orchids. June is Gay pride month, and I think love is always in season (?) Anyway, buck-a-piece ($1). Tattoos are $125/hr.

Seriously, we have THOUSANDS of these.

Matthew has written a book! The Revolutionary Yardscape is finally available for pre-order on Amazon.

"A master of using reclaimed items, expert Matthew Levesque covers the basics of hardscaping, garden construction, and outdoor decor using local materials."

It's been in the works for a long time, and it's actually here. Well, not yet, we have to patiently wait until Oct. 21st.

New Mirrors

2010-05-29T10:33:00.000-07:00

We have about 50 4'x6' (approx.) 1/4" mirrors, coming from a downtown hotel remodel. They're $30 each, first come, first serve, as usual.

Here's a little something our boys whipped up for Maker Faire on May22-23rd.

I'm thinking we need BR hoodies.

We just got some great old rough-cut 1x6s and 1x8's! Going fast!

First!

Hi, and welcome to the BR blog. The plan is to update this with new arrivals, news and events. Let's get this thing set up!
