Ep 7. Rural Retreat Historical Society

Salvage Dawgs season 6 episode 7 is named Rural Retreat Historical Society. In this episode, the team visits Rural Retreat, a small town in Virginia, to salvage a 1920s farmhouse and a 19th-century log cabin. These buildings are to be donated to the Rural Retreat Historical Society for historic preservation.

The Salvage Dawgs team starts by removing the copper gutter from the farmhouse's front porch. They find that the gutter is in good condition and can be reused. Next, they enter the farmhouse and start removing the doors, windows, and baseboards. While removing the baseboards, they uncover a secret compartment that contains an old bottle and a newspaper from the 1920s.

After salvaging all the reusable material from the farmhouse, the team moves on to the log cabin. They find that the cabin is in a state of disrepair and needs extensive work to be restored. They start by removing the roof and the chimney. They also remove the logs from the walls and number them so that they can be reassembled correctly.

While taking down the logs, the team finds a bee hive inside the wall. They safely remove the bees and relocate them to a hive on the property. They also find that some of the logs are damaged beyond repair and need to be replaced.

Once all the salvage work is completed, the team helps the Rural Retreat Historical Society to move the farmhouse and the log cabin to their new location. They use a crane to lift the farmhouse onto a trailer and secure it for transportation. They also load the logs of the cabin onto the trailer and secure them.

The team then accompanies the Rural Retreat Historical Society to the new location and helps to unload the farmhouse and the logs. They also help to reassemble the cabin and secure the logs with new chinking.

At the end of the episode, the Salvage Dawgs team gets to see the restored farmhouse and cabin. They are amazed at how the buildings have been transformed and are glad to have contributed to their preservation.

Overall, Rural Retreat Historical Society is a fascinating episode that showcases the importance of historic preservation. The Salvage Dawgs team does an excellent job of salvaging the buildings and contributing to their restoration. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in historic architecture and preservation.
