Treasure, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, but the owner holds it, uses it, & benefits.

Yes, more millionaires are created in the salvage industry than any other, even without college degrees, significant bank financing, or giant corporations supplying the start-up capital. It is all about human energy and determination. It is a bit of fun, too, if this is your passion: saving and creating new housing from the best of the past.
