Recycled wood?
Anybody know a place in town where I could get some salvaged 2X6 boards or similar? We just got a plot in a community garden and I need to build some forms. I would rather not spend a bunch of $$$ at Home Deephole. It has to be untreated, as it's an organic garden.
Thanks!

Try A&R Demolition on FM 812 in Southeast Travis County. Get there, travel 183 south past the airport, take a left on 812 at the Texaco, travel about 4-5 miles down on the right. If you're taking SH130 just take the 812 exit make a left and travel about 1-2 miles down on the left. They have lots of used materials for sale.

Correction, once you get on 812, A&R would be on the right not the left. |

Thank you both!
The demolition place doesn't state on their site whether or not they are open to the public without specific projects in mind. Who knows? I might just go there and poke around anyway.
The Habitat restore is here:

you might find some construction site with long enough discards to get your job done -- it isn't unusual to find some good lengths in a "dumpster dive" especially during framing -- once in the rolloff it's trash to them -- do ask the foreman for permission
