In Salvage Dawgs season 10 episode 4, titled "Return To K-town," the team travels to Knoxville, Tennessee, to salvage materials from a historic duplex that is slated for demolition. The duplex, which was built in the 1890s, was once home to German immigrants who worked in Knoxville's thriving brewery industry.
The Salvage Dawgs team is excited to get to work salvaging materials from the century-old structure, including antique pocket doors, stained glass windows, and ornate fireplace mantels. They also discover a number of surprises along the way, including hidden staircases and a vintage bar in the basement.
One of the biggest challenges the team faces in this episode is removing a massive cast iron tub from the second floor of the duplex. The tub is so heavy that they have to cut it into pieces using a reciprocating saw and a plasma cutter before carrying it out of the building.
Throughout the episode, the Salvage Dawgs team shares interesting facts and history about Knoxville's German community and the role they played in the city's brewing industry. They also discuss the importance of historic preservation and finding new and creative ways to repurpose old materials.
At the end of the episode, the team loads up their salvaged materials and heads back to their shop in Roanoke, Virginia, where they will restore and repurpose them for future projects. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the Salvage Dawgs team tackle this exciting salvage project and learn more about Knoxville's unique history.
