Besides the eclectic and interesting design pleasures that come from "re-engineering" architectural salvage merchandise...the ecological benefits make "stoking your architectural passion" a good thing to do for the

planet and our environment.

In a sad... but true... fact, landfills are the resting place of many of the great architectural treasures that have made way for new construction and the never ending urban sprawl that takes place everywhere in

this country. The waste and loss of great parts of our history is sinful but many demolition companies and salvage companies have stepped in to preserve the reclaimed "art works" that craftsman from past generations spent entire lives learning to create!

Old windows, doors, wood trim, hardware, corbels, columns and decorative embellishments now are regularly reclaimed by the demolition and salvage specialists that previously would have just cluttered our landfills. What can we do to help save these architectural treasures extinction? The answer is to understand

these treasures value and novelty:

1. Find interesting architectural pieces in your wanderings and give them new life in your own designs.

2. Contact a local antique or architectural salvage store if you see a demolition of a home or commercial business so that they might intercede on behalf of saving some of these salvaged treasures by talking to the demolition companies about reclaiming some of these great items.

3. Contact your local historical society about the carnage and see if they can contact a salvage source or perhaps salvage some of the items themselves or find someone from their organization who would be interested in them.

Why should you bother? There are no new, authentically old architectural salvage items being created. We all need to be sensitive to preserving the artisanship of the treasures that remain. It is much like the role our museums play in preserving our history and historical relics so that we all can enjoy them now and future generations may as well. Hand made, one of a kind architectural salvage items are a piece of our past and history and are a integral part of the history of building and architecture. From what we view of these hand tooled pieces we develop greater appreciation of the love and passion that went into the early craftsman who built these historical buildings and structures.

A love of history, landfills that are not cluttered with valuable architectural items that could be re-engineered into new uses and preserving the artisanship of past craftsman for our generation and future ones to enjoy and appreciate are reasons to get interested in architectural salvage. From preserving our

past...comes a truer and deeper appreciation of our present!

Surprise! Pick Up Trucks are Tops Once Again

When 2008 is all said and done, the auto industry will have marked one of its worst years in decades. A slowing economy, high gas prices, and fickle consumers will be among the top reasons cited for the tough year, though the latter reason may not be fully explained. After all, if the economy stinks and gas prices are high, why wouldn't consumers avoid big cars, trucks, and SUVs?

Now that gas prices have dropped - at least temporarily - consumers are once again flocking to the pick up truck market, making the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado the two top selling vehicles for October 2007, a position they regularly held month in and month out for years. Yes, pick up trucks are back, but maybe not for the reasons that you may think.

Let's take a look at this recent phenomenon and whether the sales boost for a key segment in automobile selling will last.

Hammered since the beginning of the year by slow sales, the truck segment has found itself in an unusual position: more passenger cars than trucks have been sold month in and month out for a good part of the year. At the center of this change is high gas prices which pushed well above $4 per gallon for regular gas earlier this summer. That, along with a sour economy, took its toll on the sale of the Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra. $100 fill ups scared off even the most loyal buyers, who decided to wait out the market.

Throughout the toughest months, incentives for new trucks reached their highest levels ever as automakers dropped their prices in a bid to bring people to the showroom. Finally, in early September when gas prices began their current retreat, buyers started to show up and sales climbed. In October Ford, GM and Chrysler were rewarded with a nice boost in truck sales thanks to the combination of incentives and fast dropping gas prices.

Indeed, for the month the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado once again finished one-two in sales, easily besting the number three best selling vehicle, the Toyota Camry, by some fifty percent.

The sales increase should also be attributed to something else besides incentives and lower gas prices and that would be pent up demand. Figuring that quite a few owners would have traded up earlier in the year, but hesitated due to market conditions, the latest boost likely reflects the opening of floodgates to meet previously restrained consumer demand. Now has become a good time to buy and the market reflects that change.

Will the sales boost last beyond a month or two? That remains to be seen. If gas prices remain below two dollars per gallon and the economy stabilizes, then truck sales should remain strong. If the economy worsens, then all bets are off; the market could collapse regardless of how low gas prices go.

Not everyone is thrilled that trucks sales have rebounded, particularly those who think it will cause drivers to use more gas, thereby increasing our dependency on foreign sources of oil while causing more pollution. Yet, for the big automakers who are dependent on truck sales to drive profits, the rebound is welcome even if it turns out to be just a temporary boost.
