Last month a friend and I visited the ReBuilding Center in Portland. It’s located at 3625 N. Mississippi Ave, Portland.
I had never been there but I had heard about it and was very curious. It is an enormous warehouse full of used building and remodeling materials. Their mission is to provide reasonably priced remodel/repair materials. They have rooms and rooms full of various things…tubs, sinks, toilets, doors, trim, windows, lighting, tile, cabinets, fireplace items, and the list goes on. Dress warm because it’s an open-air building (there’s a roof to shelter from the rain) because you will want to spend some time browsing.
I had a great time checking out the inventory and was super excited to see how someone’s unused and discarded items can be reused. Take a look at their website http://www.rebuildingcenter.org/ for a list of items they accept for donation, volunteer opportunities, a list of classes that they offer, and hours of operation.
