Marshall T. from Port Neches, Texas built this amazing PAC last week. He quickly learned that the PAC guide gave him the opportunity to alter the plans and create his own design. This meant that not having the correct sized wood wasn’t a problem! Great job Marshall, that seat looks relaxing!

Builders building everywhere! Fiona from the Netherlands made her PAC in what seems to be 10 minutes. She bought the PAC guide from StoreEnvy, we sent it out and BLAMMO here is a picture of her pups and new PAC chair. She is quick! Awesome job Fiona, looking forward to your next PAC build!

Gabe Landes recently guided a group of students coined as “Team Chair” through the Pallet Adirondack Chair build process for Asheville’s Green Opportunities Program. Here is a snippet from Gabe’s description of the day, “I only had 3 students on day 1. The other students (those working on the compost bin and the picnic table) were making fun of the chair. Kept saying it looked like junk and was gonna fall apart.   We finished the first chair on day 1. The naysayers were impressed, said the chair was really comfortable. They called it the “chair that makes you want to stop working”. Team chair felt a great sense of accomplishment. One day two, all the students jumped in on two more chairs. The students from team chair on day 1 were teaching the other students how to make the PAC, how to read the plans. It was great to see.” Awesome work Gabe and “Team Chair”. Helping people learn new skills is the ultimate goal of Repurposed Goods so if there are any other opportunities out there like this please feel free to contact me!

GE’s #TagYourGreenMap is a great way to see  your community’s sustainable effort. If you built a #PAC, map it up! @GaTech, where you at?!

After a whirlwind (BTW, I thought it was world wind when I was a kid!) of activity with the Southern Design Concern we have been able to re-coop and start back on some RG stuff. First task, getting Derek “Deek” Diedricksen ready for his Boston based workshop. He will be teaching people the ins and outs of building TINY HOUSES and how to build a PAC! He is phenomenal at sourcing random things and hammering them together to make cozy cottages but as LaVar Burton always told me, “But you don’t have to take my word for it!” (His work and LaVar would approve, it’s a book!)

You really cannot beat Candice’s water side PAC lounge. By the looks of it, she has made 3 regular PACS all painted and one Love Seat PAC stained dark brown. This looks so relaxing! As always, great job Candice!

As part of the Southern Design Concern’s first show, a Pallet Adirondack Chair and several Sidney Birdhouses were on display at “The Possible”. All RG stuff along with other amazing work by designers from the south will be at Octane Coffee in Atlanta all month long to sit in and/or build nests in.Kristy, thanks for the awesome photo!
