Kindling? All that "free wood", what we lumber salvagers call it, up in smoke.

Back in the late 80's I built a playhouse for our daughter using reclaimed wood from pallets and discarded lumber. Lots of fun because it involved design as you go and scavenging wood was quite a challenge.

I built a platform for rain barrels and a grill table for my barbecue out of scrounged pallets. Pretty much start with four corner posts and go from there.
