Thanks, abnorm, great article. By the way, I also get a kick out of your screen name. You must have a great sense of humor!

Urban Ore on Ashby in Berkely has a large yard. Omega, also in Berkely, is nearby on Sab Pablo Ave.

Two suggestions: www.driftwoodsalvage.com -- they are located on the Peninsula in East Palo Alto (LOTS of stuff from doors to fixtures to windows to wood to kitchen cabinets/counters and the list goes on) and Craigslist (look for demolition sales). Driftwood Salvage takes apart homes (some of them newer and some really old) that are being demolished. In addition to having lots of items at their location in East Palo Alto, they have salvage/demolition sales on many weekends on site where the house is being taken apart. You go there and buy what you want right out of the original house. We bought gorgeous gumwood trim, interior doors, a buffet, etc. from a 1920's house they were taking apart in Palo Alto 18 months ago. Have fun.
