      those sites didn't really help with that..

      is there a site where EC is getting wood for things like showers?

        We have lumber here in LA if you want to pick some up, from a 2004 art installation. We're burning it otherwise.....

            dang, missed this message!

            there's lumber here at sugar shack, from 2004 playa build, scrap that we're not using. quite a bit of 2X2 and 2X4 i think, was the lamplighters village back in the day.....

            reuse recycle if you can!

            our truck pulls out tomorrow night from LA and we've got almost no extra room for it, so if you can work out transit come on by.

    I own a crate manufacturing business in Orange, CA. our wood is not treated by chemicals, it is bug free and of hightest grade. We have tons of left over...let me know first if the location is geographically convenient.

      i'm up in Nelson, BC approaching gerlach from the NE..
      the only way i would be able to use any wood i don't bring from here is if someone else can hook it up.
