$500?
You've got almost $1k in plywood, at least the prices where I live. Good score. Making a shed? |

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Good dumpster diving on your part. I'd have done the same. Be nice to have a chicken coop.

It's gotten so expensive these last few years to do any home projects. Right now I have a small shed at a rent house I need to work on. It needs a new door and I'll use some of the plywood to cover the walls---bare studs now. I was raised to be frugal.... |

That got your attention didn't it? Well, yesterday I was driving down town when I noticed a construction dumpster outside of a former gay bar. Place has sat empty for a couple of years now, apparently someone bought the place and is remodeling. I could see some 2x4s sticking up so I decided to stop. When I looked over the side of the dumpster it was full of lumber! My son and I spent about 30 minutes pulling stuff out. We ended up with 16 sheets of 5/8 plywood, half a dozen sheets of 3/4, and over 40 2x4'S of various lengths, a dozen 2x6s and a half a dozen 4x4s. We also found about a dozen steel junction boxes with outlets in them and 4 large extension cords.We spent the rest of the day pulling nails and screws. I estimate we pulled over $500 worth of stuff out of that dumpster and all stuff I can use. Well worth a look! Well, any port in a storm.....

My neighbor is just finishing up a 40x40 pole barn with 14 foot ceilings that's nothing but free wood with new metal on it. He spent about 2 years sourcing the wood. He got the 6x6 posts and the trusses from someone who was ripping down another pole barn at a golf course to make a bigger one.... just had to make some repairs to the trusses.. all the other 2x4's he got out of dumpsters from remods. this thing looks brand spanking new and so far he's got like 4 grand of his own money in it, between the steel and fasteners.. Maybe 6 grand more to pour concrete and do some electric and he'll be in it for 10k |

Made a tree house for my daughters and a nice chicken coop. Even shingle paper! Didn't even have to dive into the dumpster; workers loaded up my truck with my FIL helping me unload it. |

Stay away from those plywood sheets with circular holes cut -out. I saw those at a peep show in New Orleans. What a filthy stinky place that was...

If dumpsters could talk, they would recognize me and every vehicle I have owned! Great shelving found many times over, used it and or re-purposed it. Bill |
