just been to my local handymans store for some coach bolts,at the counter a guy was buying 2 lenghts of 7'x11/4x3/4 at a staggering cost of £5.40,jesus thank god I have two woodyards on the dockroad by me who fill their skips up over the weekend with off cuts or stuff were it has become damaged in one form or another.
I also sieze the opportunity in looking in skips on my travels,must of saved quite a penny or two over the years.
