I don't know how someone manages to damage 350 vinyl records, but Nashville-based musician Matt Glassmeyer sure does. Instead of throwing them away however, he has created a full vinyl record roof for his porch using all 350 records.

Having made his own instruments, Glassmeyer probably didn't have too much difficulty extending his upcycle-savvy hands to his porch roof. It now comprises aligned records in an overlapping pattern, replacing traditional shingles. If this isn't upcycling at its finest, I don't know what is. Check out the gallery to see more of Matt Glassmeyer's cool vinyl record roof.
