    Timber & corro off-cuts

    Hi guys,

    I have been instructed by SWMBO to build a cubby/play house for my little girl as well as some plant boxes for the back verandah.

    Anyone know a good place around Sydney to get timber off-cuts or recycled timber? A place where I could get some corro off-cut would be great too...

    Cheers

    Reverse Garbage in Marrickville is a good place to start for stuff.

    Other than that, drive around any areas where houses are being built and see what is in the skip/rubbish pile.

    Best to go at times when the tradies are on site so you can ask if it is OK though - usually they are happy for you to take stuff away.

    I am building a shed at the moment, we got from building site rubbish:
    Enough timber for the boxing/formwork
    1/2 of the reo for the footings
    6 bags of cement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
