Real Time- Picking at "Crazy Phil's Salvage Yard"- Vintage Building Materials

A lot of this is shot in "almost real time" as I walk you through Phil Laplante's home and salvage yard business up in Hooksett, New Hampshire. Phil was one of my crew on the HGTV show I hosted long ago ("Tiny House Builders"- 2014), and is quite a fascinating guy. He makes a living both building AND deconstructing barns all over New England and does quite a bit of flipping, picking, architectural salvage, and flea market scouring for interesting bargains. I have traveled many times to Phil's place to pick up old wide plank lumber, antique doors, and lots more for my build. In this video you'll see me walk through his stock and purchase a few things to build with, and to flip for profit. Thanks for watching.

Dig your art! Sent 20 bucks for a shout out - when do you actually do those?

[@spamanator666]

Wow, this guy is living the life. A neat little cabin right on the river and surrounded by weird junk. It doesn't get much better than that.

[@reynetallents]

Thanks for taking us along on your neat picking trip. Some cool stuff, loved all the old wood and furniture pieces.

Reportedly while General Grant was directing a Civil War Battle from on board a steamship he was refilling his tin cup in a barrel of whiskey. When President Lincoln was informed that General Grant liked his whiskey, he was quoted as saying, "Find out what kind he drinks and send a case of it to each of my other generals."

[@deborahamos2897]

The tree at the beginning of the video is an Indian Bean Tree. Catalpa bignoides

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Really? Very cool- thanks so much!

[@deborahamos2897]

@@relaxshacksDOTcom you are welcome! Love your videos btw! Think you are fab!

[@janetfeathers4128]

So many cool old stuff. I love it

[@RavenTextiles]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing. I'm sitting here, over prepared, for my semester end art show. Tapping my fingers until I can go set up my booth, so you are keeping me sane at this point lol.

[@streetsshallprovide2029]

lol- thanks. And good luck with the art show!

[@mrblaxto]

Dude you glazed over the moon buggy! 😆

[@streetsshallprovide2029]

Yeah, its def cool, but I thought other stuff was cooler..... wasn't much else to show.....

[@cindyboard7816]

Wow! What a cool place to find treasure!! You could look there for hours and still not cover everything. I'm guessing on the tree it's a variety of Catalpa tree. I had one in my yard growing up and the leaves make neat makeshift fans.😂 Thanks for sharing your picking adventures and stay safe!!

[@streetsshallprovide2029]

Catalpa- thanks- I'll have to look that one up!

[@chezmoi42]

Yes, that's what it is, when I was little I called them 'green bean trees!

[@chopchopbusybusyworkworkba420]

Had a tree like that where i worked, i was told it was an Indian Bean Tree.

[@chezmoi42]

What a cool place! He has a lot of things that look like they are just waiting for you. Is that really stained glass over that outdoor wood stack? If not, I'm curious to know what it was, one looked like a shop sign or advert of some kind.

[@streetsshallprovide2029]

I'll have to look back- not quite sure what part you are talking about....

[@nvbac72]

Hay a ơi

Joel 2:Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand-

Don’t show us the Vermont property until after you decide on it (otherwise one of your viewers is gonna scoop your deal), but then show what you’re doing with it if you pick it up. What ever happened to your western land purchases?

Titus 2:13 King James Version 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; We believe Jesus Christ is the only way to the Kingdom of Heaven....and the only name that can save you. Today is the day of Salvation and we want people to understand this isn't about Religion...but about a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that can start for them this very moment.
