\nThe Geyser Gulch project found Ted and Grayson wrestling with well-worn fasteners on the affectionately named \u201cblue macaroni\u201d waterslide. All the while, Mike and Tay were high wire rigging the removal of a giant water tower and colorful working windmill.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted a water tower,\u201d said Mike Whiteside, \u201cReally, I always have\u2026but this water tower is 5 stories off the ground.\u201d
\nWith an eye on the resale (and fun) value back at the warehouse in Virginia, the team salvaged 30 giant air guns from the famed attraction. And, of course, these former Navy men couldn\u2019t resist the urge for a classic \u201cDawg fight.\u201d
\n\u201cThere was no way I was going to leave those behind,\u201d smiled Robert Kulp. \u201cAnyone who has ever seen these things and what they can do is going to have an interest.\u201d
\nBack at the Black Dog Salvage shop in Roanoke, VA the design crew builds a one-of-a-kind hostess stand from reclaimed doors for The Leesburg Public House restaurant in Northern Virginia. The owners were so thrilled with the completed project they named a menu item \u201cThe Black Dog Burger\u201d.
\nSalvage Dawgs chronicles the adventures of Robert Kulp and Mike Whiteside, owners of Virginia-based Black Dog Salvage. Each episode leaves audiences laughing, inspired, and amazed as they stay just ahead of the wrecking ball to reclaim a wide range of vintage architectural elements and oddities. The salvaged materials go in a dazzling number of directions, from being incorporated into new \u201cold\u201d houses to being transformed into one-of-a-kind furniture and art featured on their warehouse floor and website.
\n\u201cWe are saving America, one house part at a time,\u201d said owner Robert Kulp. \u201cIt\u2019s satisfying to know that these architectural treasures will live on and be appreciated across the country.\u201d
\nThroughout the series, Kulp strives to run a tight ship with his eye on the bottom line — while spirited Whiteside wreaks havoc, tearing through old homes and buildings \u2013 finding treasure in the most unexpected places and making things happen \u2013 even under the most challenging circumstances.
