The team starts by carefully removing a redwood burl from the home's front porch. They believe it will make a great coffee table once it's been cut down and polished. They also remove several stained glass windows from the home's interior, which they hope to use in future projects.
Next, the team heads to the bathroom to remove the cast iron bathtub. While the tub is incredibly heavy, the team manages to move it without damaging it. They believe it will make a great outdoor planter once it's been cleaned up and painted.
In addition to these larger items, the team also salvages a number of smaller pieces, including vintage light fixtures and doorknobs. They believe these items will be popular with their customers who are looking for unique, vintage pieces.

They start by cleaning up the redwood burl and cutting it down to size. Once it's been polished up, it looks stunning, and the team is thrilled with how it turned out.
Next, the team decides to turn some of the stained glass windows into hanging lamps. They carefully wire them up and add bulbs, and they look absolutely beautiful when lit up. The team is sure that these lamps will sell quickly once they're put out on the shop floor.
Finally, the team turns their attention to the cast iron bathtub. They start by cleaning it up and removing any rust or grime. Once it's been painted a bright, cheerful color, they plant a variety of colorful flowers in it. The end result is stunning, and the team is proud of the unique outdoor planter they've created.
