Repurposing Blog 1

The ingenuity of the Nicaraguan people never fails to amaze me.
As we have traveled around the country there are always within view items that are repurposed (meaning -- used for things other than what they were intended for).
My favorite repurposing ideas will be featured in my next several posts.

Photo 1 -- this is the rail holder on a farm -- an old fan belt from a car
 
Photo 2 -- now an old fan belt is being used to hold the gate closed -- great idea -- much easier to grab than a piece of barbed wire which would be the norm.
 
Photo 3 -- 1/2 of a large truck tire as a feed trough.
 
Photo 4 -- these are two supper sweet boys that were so proud to give Kirk and I a tour of their farm. This is their work shed where they keep a ton of to be repurpose items. I love the oldest brothers boots -- they were definitely way too big but he was happy to have them.
 

As we have traveled around I keep wishing I had not ever thrown some things away. Now I know other uses for them that are kind of cool.

Love Ruth
