boards

I am a collector.

Not coins or t-bills or barbie dolls, but of boards!

“Dave, I have 5 2 by 4 by 20s that I did not use, could you use them?”

Of course I can, some time, maybe, perhaps.

So I stack lumber. I am ready to build. At least I have the boards!

Tolstoy asked the question: “How much land does a man need?” How much lumber does a retired coot need?

As in Tolstoy’s story, maybe a lot less than you might think.
