I just moved into a new rent house (and it’s a fixer upper…which i like) and got new tools for Christmas. Apparently before i moved in the landlord replaced about a 30 ft section of fence and left all the old pickets on the property. He said he would get rid of them before I moved in but I told him I would take care of them for him. By taking care of them I meant building stuff with them. It may be old weathered fencing, but it’s free wood. I like the ‘rustic’ look for the outside, and since it’s already weathered it’s not going to hurt to be outside.
