I like garbage

General
It's weird I like building stuff... I also like building stuff with trash.
recently I found a wheel chair in some ones trash. I've been looking for one for months (they make great computer chairs.) so I snuck out at night an liberated it. In the process I found out why they were throwing it out and sliced open two fingers (darn plastic arm rests). but 2 bolts 1 nut and a bout 14 washers and it's level and sturdy, I've been using it for a week at work now. so last night I was board and too an old office chair removed the arms, and gas piston, reattached the arms and made an under office foot stool. sure it's not complex but it feels good and it was using stuff I already had.
I'm alittle crazy I think I save things I should throw out because I might find a use for them I've been working on the camera systems for my each every day I think up something new I can put in there, or slap together but I never have the time to do all I want.
the thing is building sometihng from scratch is fun but some how Kitbashing something unique together from discards is more satifying. making something that looks cool out of junk. hell even just making something practical out of junk
Like for work I needed a riser for my monitor, I snagged to card board truvia dispenser boxes, side by side they are the perfect hight and the drawer fronts make a conveniant filing system, One's still full up truvia for my tea but the other has my vpn ip address, and contractor codes should I need them as well as a few phone number, and my lunch break timer, pluss setting my cell to vibrate and setting it on top gives me a nice buzzing noise that can't be heard while I'm on call and ensure I never miss a message
sorry to ramble but im having fun and wanted to share
PS sorry about all the cat pics lately but Salem has become super cuddly and at 16 I think it's him showing his age, and I kinda feel I might not have my goober for much longer.., so I wanted to share him. Ohh hopefully I'm wrong but I worry about the old kitten

FA+

I'm currently working on a design for a casing for the new PC I'm building that uses mostly scrap metal and various bits and pieces to give it a kind of post-apocalyptic/steampunk mad science kind of theme, hehe.
It's much cheaper than buying a pre-made casing, and if I get it right it'll look awesome and still be functional too.
Sorry to hear about the kitty though.
