Lost wood

Dangit!

Over the last month, workers at our next-door-neighbors' house have been building a swimming pool, deck extension, and pool house. I got permission from the owner to collect the misc. scraps of wood strewn about on the ground -- but he asked to wait until later, because he wanted some of the longer pieces for himself. Fair enough.

Today we went over there to check out the progress, and I noticed the the bulldozer guy from a few days ago must have scooped all the wood up and dumped them. Too bad: the wooden deck used a nice reddish-brown type of wood. Plus, they're all at the garbage dump, now: that's wasteful.


Usually, I'd fish things out of the construction dumpster every evening or two. But this time, the construction job was (apparently) too small for a dumpster.


Oh well: my current stash --at my present rate of building things -- will last me several years; I **do** have a backlog of wood to get under cover (i.e., store away properly); and I've been kinda busy (so I might not have had the time to gather the wood. Maybe.).


STILL: A shame.

Next time I'll gather the wood, and tell the owner he can grab what he needs from my safely-sequestered pile.
