Ep 9. Moneta Diner and Drive-In

The Salvage Dawgs are back in action again for another episode in their eleventh season. This time, they are headed to Moneta, Virginia to check out the Moneta Diner and Drive-In. The Moneta Diner and Drive-In was a staple of the local community for decades, and when it burned down in 2012, it broke many hearts. However, the Salvage Dawgs are here to help turn heartbreak into hope and give this beloved diner a second chance.

The Salvage Dawgs are no strangers to the world of restoration and renovation. They travel the country searching for old abandoned buildings and salvageable architectural items that they can redo, repurpose, and resell in their black dog salvage shop. And this time, they have their work cut out for them. The Moneta Diner and Drive-In was left in ruins after the fire, and it needs a complete overhaul. The Salvage Dawgs have to roll up their sleeves and get to work to bring this iconic establishment back to life.

The Salvage Dawgs have their work cut out for them as they explore the remnants and ruins of the burned-out diner. But they aren't alone, and they are being helped by the former owners of the Moneta Diner and Drive-In, who are eager to see their beloved diner revitalized. The former owners have a lot of ideas about what they'd like the new diner to look like, but the Salvage Dawgs have their own vision in mind.

The Salvage Dawgs begin by taking out everything that was charred and ruined by the fire, like the old appliances and rusted sinks. They then search for items that could be repurposed, like the old wooden shelving and the antique stools that were still in good condition. The team works tirelessly to clean and restore the salvageable items and to find new pieces that would fit the diner's iconic aesthetic. They scour antique stores and junkyards for pieces of history that would give the Moneta Diner and Drive-In its unique identity.

As the episode progresses, viewers get to see the Salvage Dawgs in action as they transform the diner. They remove a wall to create a more spacious dining area, and they install a new countertop that fits the retro aesthetic of the diner perfectly. They also work on restoring the iconic neon sign that welcomes visitors to the Moneta Diner and Drive-In.

In the end, the Salvage Dawgs, with the help of the owners of the Moneta Diner and Drive-In, are able to bring the beloved establishment back to life. As viewers watch the Grand Reopening of the Moneta Diner and Drive-In, they can't help but be amazed at the transformation that has taken place.
