Today I went outside to have my coffee while I charged my laptop on the Norwegien's boat. As luck would have it I said hello to a random wearing a high vis vest who was slowly walking and looking at each boat.
He said he was glad I came out as he'd been walking on his break to see if anyone of the boaters wanted some wood that was going to the tip from his construction site.
I was the only one about so IF I WANTED IT WAS ALL MINE.
It's surely better than it goin to land fill and I was raised to do the right thing..he chuckles.
I'll share it about I tell him.
So long as you take enough for yourself, he nods.
I said yes and asked if i should follow him over.
We walked and talked, he is from Kerry, same as my father.
Theres a half dozen ten foot lenghts of Oak about 4inches thick and a few 4x5s of pine and pallets.
*Do you have a saw? *
Yes, Sir.
You are a woman to be reckoned with, he chuckles. I can cut up the pallets for you. It'll give me something to do and I'll bring them over to you later.
Amazing.
