Buppies, you ever heard of Black Dawg Salvage? ...down off Rt 11 near downtown Roanoke. We've been watching their show on DIY network...very interesting projects...recent one had them salvaging parts off a car ferry ship docked in Norfolk that used to run from Delaware to New Jersey across the Delaware Bay. Another show had them taking a part an old mansion in Orange, and another had them using old salvage to build a beautiful bar for the renovated hotel at Natural Bridge.
I think we are going to visit their shop next time we can make it out your way.
