When they built Meadowhall and i was working there I got so much timber
from skips I filled two sheds and had to use some of it to make another
shed to put the rest of it in. I've still got about fifty lengths of
hardwood dowel: I just break a bit off every time I want to stir some
paint.

I got a very large quantity of 10mm threaded bar in much the same way;
dunno what I'll ever do with it all. I use it for rebar etc.
