I consider myself a bit of a scavenger. I ride around and keep my eyes peeled. my wife jokes but she knows I am on the lookout and it makes me happy so no harm there. Well yesterday my vigilance paid off in spades. heading back to work after lunch and spotted a pile of lumber on the side of the road. Whipped into the driveway and asked the lady that owns the house what she was doing with the lumber. She says, 'Nothing I guess take it off if you like" Enough said, back to the pile and loaded in no time. What did I score you might ask, well I got 8 16 foot pine 2X4s No idea what they were doing there and do not care. Property owner said she didn't want them and that I could have them good enough. Made a set of saw horses today from a couple of the boards and still have loads of board left for other projects. Proud.

Couldn't agree more. Mind if you share some images of the projects. :D
