Hit 200 board feet of reclaimed lumber in my garage stash and it feels like a problem now
I've been grabbing old pallets and demo wood from renos around Edmonton for about 18 months. Last week I actually measured everything stacked against my wall and it came to 200 board feet. That's enough to build like three big shelving units or a whole shed wall. Has anyone else here just accumulated way more scrap wood than they planned and what do you actually do with it all?

200 board feet and it only took you 18 months to get there? Rookie numbers, my pallet pile hit that in about 6 months before my wife made me move half of it to the driveway. Now it's just a giant lumber yard dogs refuse to pee on because it smells like industrial concrete and mystery moisture.

Man, @nina_clark is living the dream and the nightmare all at once. Nothing says "I'm serious about this hobby" like a pallet pile that's become a biohazard zone for the neighborhood dogs. I've got a few pallets stacked behind my shed that smell like a wet barn and a chemical plant had a baby, and the squirrels won't even touch em. How many pallets did you have to break down before the wife gave you the boot?
