“repurpose”EVENT: At the Denver, CO Mission Ballroom, a large-scale live music venue built for loud shows and big production, our Metal Barrels are pulling backstage duty. They’re being used to hold fog machines during performances, keeping things contained while the lights, smoke, and music take over.

NEW: We just received 18,500 square feet of Laminate Vinyl Tile from the CES(Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas,NV. This LVT was only walked on for three days, was not glued down, and came up clean during teardown. Instead of heading to the landfill, it’s now here and ready for its next use through “repurposing”. This material is Local Pickup Only. Full details are posted on our Facebook listing.
