Right now, more than\never, you may find your organizational self-awakening. Perhaps, you find yourself unusually\nsurprised by the vigor and grit you\u2019ve possessed when attacking those deep\ncleaning projects around the house. These are, indeed, unusual times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be honest,\nit\u2019s not often you spend countless hours decluttering the basement, followed by\ndays in the garage, just pondering how it took so long to discover you were a\ncollector of stuff. Lots of stuff. But, a cleansing catharsis like this brings\nclarity. It can even change your view of things moving forward \u2013 while you look\nout onto the street, soon to realize that the super-sized purge pile at the end of your driveway\nis more like a self-made monument of consumption, towering curbside for all the\nneighbors to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,\nbefore you toss or donate those dusty ole trinkets or what you once thought\nwere “collectors’ items,” consider using them for a home-project you\ncan do with the family. In the end, we promise it\u2019ll be far more satisfying and creative than the regrettable shrine\nyou almost left for the neighbors to \u201cworship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t just take our word for it, look at what Joanne & SteveSnyder made for their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When cleaning out\nher garage in Williston, Florida, Dodge enthusiast Joanne Snyder found\nseveral license plates from throughout the years. The plates came from previous\nvehicles she and her family have owned, along with a plate from their current\n2010 Dodge Ram. Before tossing them to the curb, Snyder had an idea to channel\nher creative side instead.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being crafty,\nwe cut up different letters and numbers to make a Challenger Scat Pack RT\nplaque for our garage,” said Snyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from loving\nall things Dodge, the Snyder family owns a bathroom remodeling and home\ninsulated glass replacement business in the Gainesville area of Florida. At\nwork, they’re truly living up to the phrase “one man’s trash is another\nman’s treasure.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have lots\nof interesting items that we have removed from some of our customers’\nbathrooms. And we don’t throw anything usable away,” said Snyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, one of those items was a beautiful slat of cedarwood, perfectly usable for a wood-router. Being a Dodge family, what would be a better subject matter than their very own 2019 Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 392 Widebody? Its aggressive features were crafted into the slate perfectly, creating one badass piece of woodwork worth showcasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
