Friday Finds

Reuse is what the MSU Surplus Store is all about. I'm always fascinated by uses people come up with for surplus finds, especially when their creations are turned into revenue. One of my favorite web sites these days is Etsy - "Your place to buy & sell all things handmade". Many items on this site are from reused or re-purposed items. If you can't find anything to buy, maybe you've got something to sell.

Please don't hesitate to share with us how you reuse items bought at the MSU Surplus Store.

Aerial Photos of MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center

We have some awesome aerial photos of the MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center taken by Mark Staton who is helping construct the new facility. Here you can see the the progress of the entire job site and even the construction work on the Farm Lane Underpasses in the backgrounds of some of the photos.

Construction Progress - Part XXI

The detail work on the new MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center is continuing as many smaller projects are being completed through out the building. One of the largest projects is the installation of the roof solar panels on the south end of the building. The pads for outdoor materials collection and storage for compost, scrap metal and other materials has been finished on the South East side of the building. The rain water collection and retention system is also still being installed in some areas as the drainage pipes are being connected to the main storage area which now has the concrete retention based poured and installed. On the interior of the building most all of the ceilings and walls on the MSU Surplus Store side of the building have been completed and the offices areas have the finishing touches being done on the walls and start of ceiling installation. In the MSU Recycling processing area the HVAC and radiant heating elements are now going in as the main receiving docks have been finished in this area.

Remember to keep checking back for more updates! Also don't forget that we have a compilation of all of the constructions photos available. We would also like to thank Irish Construction Company who has been very gracious in allowing us access and keeping us up to date with the progress of construction.
