Picking Up Timber

 

Up washed and dressed and on the building site a few doors up from my property at 8:30 to scrounge as many lengths of timber that I can as the contractor is about to load all the offcuts and site debris into their half truck to go to their year for burning and disposal. 

Four trips with my wheel barrow and each time I got back to the site the guys has placed any timber worth having against the site gate ready for me to reload my wheel barrow and transport to my drive. 

Anything 1.2m or less without any nails or screws in went straight onto the back seat of the car and anything longer or with screws and nails was stacked under my window box, to be dealt with tomorrow.

I was knackered after picking it up and gave the lads on site a pack of chocolate digestive biscuits to have on their tea break, as a thank you, and was informed there would be more timber next week and to keep my eyes out and I can collect again next clean up.
