Free lumber. Sort of.
Oh, it's free, but some might not call it lumber. I mean it's actual WOOD,
but... Then again, how can you go wrong with many 20 ft "hardwood" 10x10s " With pics of giant mounds of stacked lumber and even bigger mounds of wood chips http://houston.craigslist.org/zip/2204934849.html |

If the Chinese did it with the same care they show towards heavy metals in dinnerware and toys, I'd expect free longhorn beetles with every purchase. R |

It's that trade imbalance thing. They don't even want the shipping containers back. A local sailboat rigging guy, the one I just got my Emmert vise from, is moving his shop over into containers just bought a 45' extra tall container in fine condition for $2500 delivered. R |

The timbers are gone, but he still has oodles of 4x4s and, of course, the chips. I was mainly interested in the 4x4s as fireplace wood anyway. For free, it's worth the experiment. What can one do with a few thousand cubic feet of wood chips? I don't think they work for mulch - any other ideas? |

Surprised generator of them didn't find an outlet -- altho there may be no close-enough chipboard or other user to make transport economic. If not of a toxic or otherwise nasty variety, some use them as bedding/stall material in animal barns, etc. If it's an uncontrolled anything goes source, though, that's probably out as an alternative. -- |
