Nutzy? Not in my book. I would have been doing the same thing. Congrats on your loot!

Aubrey you are a wood freegan! I salute you. Bunches of us here, driving around checking out the trash at the corner for old discarded dressers, pianos, chairs.

If I would have seen Thos. there though, I would have driven on. Word is he’s quite the scrapper in close…LOL.

I’m sure every LJ reading this has the old heart pumping with excitement right along with you!!! Congratulations.
I’m so glad you were able to save this beautiful wood from becoming mulch or something less useful.

I love garbage picking, my mom taught me at a young age :) There is gold in them there pails :)

Congratulations,

Working the night shift all the time I spend quite a bit of time cruising around looking for old discarded lumber (and criminals too). I actually have a regular route – but not much luck with the wood. I am lucky enough to have a Mill Shop right around the corner from my house – but most of his discards are Spanish Cedar.

Alright Aubrey!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

We are all gleaners at heart. <g>
Some of us just embarrassed about it.
Just consider it good earth stewardship.
the folks that should be embarrased are the ones tossing it out without giving it a second chance.

Thos.

If you had been there I would have gladly shared it with you. No scrappin’ necessary.

Bill,

I haven’t had much luck finding any criminals but I will definitely keep my eyes open.

Mot,

Triple D is one that I will have to remember.

Thanks everyone!

I had visions of someone yelling “Freakboy” at me and that made me hesitant to confess to what I had done.
