Built to order from reclaimed wood and window frames 

ReBuild also is using some of its reclaimed lumber to build wooden raised bed gardens available in difference sizes and for incredibly low prices.  Some of you may have attended last year's workshops on raised bed gardens and know how efficient they can be.  We offer the standard size (see below) unassembled with all the accessories or assembled but can also tailor them if you have a specific size you would rather have.  Again, we'll be starting to make these on Saturday and Sunday and, if you can lend us a hand, we could sure use your help and enable you to earn store credits as you help. 

Dimensions:  4' W x 8' L x 2' H

                              Unassembled      $125

                              Assembled           $145

                              Delivery fee (NOVA)  $65

The ReBuild staff is considering building other useful items but would like to gauge the interest of our customers before getting too far along in this endeavor.  To help support the growing urban agriculture movement, we'd like to use some of our reclaimed lumber to both build, and to train people to build themselves, layered compost bins, backyard tool sheds, Adirondack chairs, deck planters, bluebird houses, and even chicken coops.  Just click here to send us an email as to whether you would be interested in buying one or more of these items.  We'll be making a decision on these within the next week, so we can undertake whichever ones (or other ideas you may have) are of the most interest to our customers and have them ready for Spring.

How do you see ReBuild evolving?

I truly think Rebuild has a lot of potential to be a leading organization in its field. The different parts of the program that ReBuild offers present several opportunities for people to participate with ReBuild, and with their involvement the programs can have a significant impact in the community. I hope it becomes self-sustainable first and then becomes a larger operation. But it is still a relatively new organization that just needs some time to grow and become better known in the community.

How would you encourage people who might be interested in ReBuild to become involved?

I would invite people to first visit our warehouse to see our operation, materials and workshop information we offer. And, as I mentioned before, there are several ways to become involved: become a donor and receive tax deduction; help the ReBuild Board of Directors in fundraising activities; volunteer in the warehouse and help in the operations and in assisting customers; volunteer with your pickup truck or cargo van to help us collect donations; give presentations before community groups, especially if you are involved the environmental field; and spreading the word about Rebuild by telling your friends, neighbors, school programs, etc.  I would encourage people, especially in these difficult times, to purchase reclaimed material from our warehouse, save some money, and support Rebuild's program

What do you see as ReBuild's biggest challenges over the next several years?

At this moment, I think spreading the word about ReBuild is the biggest challenge. I am positive that after becoming better known by the community, ReBuild will have more resources and eventually grow to a point where the challenge will be keeping up with the demand.

What kind of activities do you enjoy while not working at ReBuild?

I like almost all kind of outdoor activities, especially baseball. I also like to read, watch movies and spend time with my family.
