Building Resources

Coming to Building Resources is the perfect San Francisco scavenger hunt. An upcyclers dream. Just off 3rd Street, the wonderful T MUNI Metro will take you right there. I get off at Amador Street and walk across the bridge. If I've given myself enough time, I'll go sit on the beach which overlooks the water. Surrounded by grass it's crazy to think you're right off such a busy Street. I once spotted a sea lion lounging about completely obliious to the urban surroundings. I cross the train tracks and wander down to see what cool old stuff can be made into something new. Wood of every size. Mixed in among the huge splintery planks, I scored a gorgeous redwood dowel. Cut into 1/2" rounds they made perfect huge buttons for the SWEET D I LOVE my city!
