This is a pilot for a series of shows on DIY TV by Michael “Bug” Deakin and his crew of recyclers from Heritage Salvage in Petaluma, California.
Bug says: “All across America, century-old structures are falling down and forgotten — but I believe these buildings deserve a second chance.”
Here’s a 40-second sneak preview of the pilot, which airs this Sunday:
