Ep 2. Peanut Silo Salvage

In Salvage Dawgs season 8 episode 2, titled "Peanut Silo Salvage," the team at Black Dog Salvage ventures to Painter, Virginia to remove two large grain silos from the property of an old peanut processing plant that was no longer in use. The silos are over 50 feet tall and posed a significant challenge to safely remove and transport.

Mike Whiteside and Robert Kulp, the owners of Black Dog Salvage, first investigate the property to determine the best approach for disassembling the silos. They decide to use a cutting torch to take apart the silos piece by piece and carefully lower them down to the ground with the help of a large crane.

Once the silos are safely removed, the team begins the process of cleaning and rehabilitating the salvaged pieces. They slice the large silo sections into smaller pieces and use a plasma cutter to create custom fit pieces that can be used in a variety of projects.

The first project for this salvaged material is a custom entertainment console that Mike and Robert design and build for a client. The console is created from the metal sheets of the silos and features a sleek industrial design. The team also uses the silo pieces to build a custom bar top and a series of unique shelves for a rustic home renovation.

Throughout the episode, we see the team at Black Dog Salvage utilize their expertise to carefully and creatively transform salvaged material into functional and beautiful pieces for their clients. From the intricate process of dismantling the silos to the meticulous craftsmanship involved in designing and building each piece, "Peanut Silo Salvage" showcases the ingenuity and talent of the Salvage Dawgs team.
