What do you do with bottle caps? Wine corks? Broken mirrors? If you said you toss them in the trash, you aren’t alone. However, if you’re hanging out with the inventive and creative minds that built Bone House and Bone House II, you’ll quickly realize that your original reaction won’t go over well. Nope.
