Bill Fitzpatrick and Table




Bill and Table

Originally uploaded by Buffalo ReUse

A rare picture of Bill’s front side (had to sneak up on him and capture him near a mirror).

Bill made this table, suitable for a bedroom or a large front hall, from Buffalo ReUsed Materials. He and Tracy brought it over to the ReSource the other day, where it’s on sale (all proceeds benefit our community programs) for $200.

Come on by and check it out!

Spooky Movie Night

Come out this Saturday, the 23rd and creep up the stairs of the ReSource, sneak past the ghouls and goblins and grab a seat for our final movie of the season.  We plan on starting the movie at 7pm so come a little early to get situated and  get ready to be scared!

We’re showing a spooky movie this time.  Bring a snack to pass and a friend to squeeze during the chase scenes.  No need to bring a chair, we have plenty up there.

We are still deciding what we will be watching but also want your help in making this challenging decision.  Some of the things we are debating of watching are the Shining, The Evil Dead, Leprechaun, Candy Man, The Simpsons Tree House of horror episodes, Jeeper’s Creeper’s and Little Monsters of course…

So help us in making a decision, there’s just to  many for us to do it on our own.  Maybe we can even watch a combination of the above mentioned or write ins that we receive within the next couple days.

We have Lumber, Lots of Lumber

Come by the ReSource this week, we have lots of goodies for your do it yourself projects.

We recently just finished up a deconstruction on Colvin Avenue (Thank you to those who helped out) and we have a good amount of new used building materials.

Why buy new when you can buy old? History comes free with purchase…

We have lots of lumber; 2″x6″ and 2″x8″s that we have saved from the landfill. Most pieces are at least 10′ in length. Come by today and pick some up for your projects, before it gets to cold and snowy.

Another jewel that you would find in the store are these library ladders that were generously donated to us.  They would look really nice in your living room where you have your book collection.  Why not pick out your next read by sliding around on one of these ladders.

Check out these really hip painted mirrors that take you back down memory lane and the carnivals of your youth.  We have a big selection of these mirrors and they are sure to be gone quick.  How could you resist?  You can even get creative and put a couple of them in your next tiling project you have planned out. They would be a nice little compliment.

Haul Your Freight!

We have some really neat old freight wagons and carts at the ReSource. These were a generous donation from McCullagh Coffee. They used them for years to haul their heavy bags of coffee around their warehouse.

Three of them are wagons, like a Red Rider, but bigger:

The others have upright handles, some at each end, some just at one end:
