' brilliant '

UK - ese for great or terrific
but here
to describe the morning
46F on the back deck and yes, full sun / very calm
headed for 70 ? F

Shakespeare can be quoted as saying ' let slip the dogs of salvage '  - NOT
But I'm watching <  binge - ing  > on the series          " Salvage Dogs ". A firm in Roanoke, Va retrieves, recycles and re - purposes items from buildings destined for demolition. The show that airs on our       ' DIY ' channel has been going for about 3 seasons.
Normally, a team of 5 goes out to a job site and later the show centres on a ' re - purpose ' segment. To wit, a large trolley would become a mobile sofa.
The shop at ' Black Dog Salvage ' is equipped w/ sheet metal bender, welding equipment and full size table saws. As well, the ' Dogs ' can plane and sand large pieces of plank < say, 20 inches wide and 10 - 20 ft long.
The ' new ' furniture is sold upstairs in a retail market
which of course, is filled w/ finds from jobs.
I find the show inspiring and validating. I can come nowhere near the size of jobs that they do but this house is filled w/ re- purposed and recycled items
My kind of show.
