Before the economy imploded I was picking up some 4' * 12' pallets
they shipped A/C units on. I could only haul a couple at a time,
because they were so big but the place was next door to a business that
I was doing free IT work for. I still have quite a few 4" and 6" wide,
12' long boards from them.

Have you priced 4x4? I grabbed a bunch when the company got new
machines shipped in.


I bought some PT 6" * 6" recently.


There was a place in the U district which had the most amazing
shipping crates. 2x6s and the like in odd lengths.


A local Mayflower moving company has large plywood crates for sale
for $40. I'm thinking about picking one up to use for a shed. AAdd
some metal roofing and paint, and it will still be cheap.

I saw a shipping crate which as larger than my apartment (I had a
bed sitter). If I could have moved it, and had a place to put it,
then I would have taken it there and moved in.
