scalvage 

scavenge + salvage-- scalvage. To find items meant for both purposes! Kind of a "fregan" concept but even my capitalistic father engaged in this.

For many years my dad would scalvage all kinds of craft materials at industrial sites near our house: carpet samples, wooden moulding parts, pieces of formica, vinyl samples. He would also find old chairs that were cast away and fix them up.... so I began to do that too. You can make craft products and even furniture (or rescued furniture) from your findings!
Look at that chair at the curb; it's missing one leg but otherwise looks nice. Let's scalvage it for parts.

scalvage 

Scavenging trash or cast-off items for the purpose of salvaging it and applying to a better purpose, a more legitimate use than merely "free stuff" - improving the item's quality through its new purpose or new, second "life." The new use is different and of better quality (substantively different) than the item's original use or purpose, i.e., a chair that becomes shelving or artwork, a pallet that becomes a gate or fence.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
