I was there Friday. They have a wide range of things available, bricks, paint, doors, hardware & plumbing fixtures. A bit of everything. It's worth the trip if you like salvage. Not everything is dirt cheap.

I go there every couple of months -- got all of our basement kitchen cabinets there. It's hit and miss though. A lot of salvage doors, wood pieces, radiators, sinks, electrical, and some new appliances. They often get stuff from discontinued lines and showrooms changing their display. Well worth the trip.

If you are looking for green building supplies check out Greenmaker Supply. They are based in Chicago but have a website (www.greenmakersupply.com) where they sell almost everything they have in the store. Prices are good and owners are extremely helpful.
