Was at Home Depot the other day looking for something to use for shelves. Wandering around the lumber dept I came across some kind of siding that would have been good. The lumber guy couldn't cut it for me (2 cuts would have done it), but pointed me to a pile of the same stuff that broke in half. EACH broken piece was only $.51 (the 'good' piece was $14 a board). I bought it all for less than the cost of one good board, and will now put shelves all over!

Further investigation of the 'cull lumber' --- There was luan cut into 1/2 and 1/4 sheets, ugly 2x2's with bark but enough 'usable' and a bunch of other things I couldn't think of a use for.. but ALL were only $.51 cents apiece!!! The lumber cull area will now be my first stop at THD.
