Opportunity only knocks once.
This old adage proves true in the world of DIY designs and models.
As a do-it-yourselfer, you can not come across that perfect table, door ... or even a bath once in a lifetime. If right, you'd better strike the hot iron of time. But now that I'm drunk so many idioms and adages in so few lines of text, move to the point at hand.
Imgur user treeshugmeback so happened to be in the right place at the right time, when it fell on a door in old oak in the sale of a church yard. Wait until you see how he turned the door into the ideal table to sit and break bread.
This is a DIY tip: Pay special attention to companies with a repair truck or contractor sitting outside. There are opportunities, there could be great DIY materials on the sidewalk in a few days time.
