    Whew...I'm beat. Spent all afternoon picking up wood from a torn down deck given away on freecycle. Many looong pieces..had to disassemble some, but got 2 trailers full...should be enough for all the tunnel making projects we were planning this year.
    *subdued tired happydance*
    Now I gotta get the nails out of them....

    Great score!
    I don't want to just scare them... I want to mess them up for life!

    Our freecycle has had several leftover lumber from construction posts lately! I would love to get it and plan out some haunt stuff but just can't right now.

    I should start getting it anyway, or at least what I think I would need, for a pavilion/gazebo idea I have for our clothesline poles. They are old and sturdy and sunk solid. Hubby wants to rip them out, but I thought covering the tops with a louvered or pergola type roof.

    Some of the great finds I scored have been an old pickett fence, about 10-15 ft long (great for my graveyard) and a lot of chicken wire for my trees in my haunted forest.

    My garage is getting full of freecycle stuff.
    There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
    I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

    'Freecycle(tm) is an email list where people give away things that they no longer need for free.

    your welcome...I found out about it on here..its a great resource, and very addictive, much like craigslist. If you don't have one in your area, start one.

    Granamyr, are you in the KC area? I saw a post about deck lumber here and tried to get it but it had already been claimed. I suppose I can forgive as long as the wood is going toward the good Halloween cause.
