More wood waste in the west
Mate rings me up yesterday "want some wood?" he says.
So I go around to his place and there's this pile of roofing pine in his garage and heaps more outside.
Turns out the duplex being built next door to his place the roofing subby has over ordered timber and doesn't want the leftovers and has left them behind.
The builder was because he didn't want them and there is so of much it means an extra skip will be needed for the site so he asks my mate if he wants any of it so he grabbed about half of it.
I scored the following bits
Attachment 171231Attachment 171230
This is about a 10th of what was there.
6 m long '180 x 25' mm and '120 x 35' mm boards, and 8m long 70 and 50 x 25s. Even some sections of laminated beams!
I reckons that's my shelving sorted for the old shed renno.

Amazing! I just hope the client never finds out how much extra wood he/she bought that was not needed.
Good score, tho BobCheers

Good score.
I know of a couple of local joineries who put out big palettes as rubbish, so when I need stuff like you've picked up, I go down with the trailer and grab them. Better a little grunt and effort than forking out of your back pocket for the stuff.

I rang my mate again this evening to see if any of the timber was still there but apparently word had spread and it was all gorn by noon. I'm just glad it's not going into the skip.
