Not to worry - you are so NOT alone on your excitement about the great 'wood find'. My husband is a woodworker and
repuroser extrordinaire. He now has a great local rep as the man to call when someone has an old shed or out building,
barn, etc. that has heart pine and/or very old boards as we use them to rebuild a two story farm house on our property
that burned several years ago ( all that was left was a 'hull' that needed to be rebuilt and DH has been rebuilding the
structure from the inside out with all repurposed/reclaimed materials. We even found a never used Jacuzzi tub with all
the fixtures at our local recyle store and snatched it up ( currently sitting in the dry in a shed behind the house sitting up
on cinder blocks ) until such time we're ready to put it in our 'new' bathroom in the 'farmhouse'. DH and I are constantly
amused as over the last 21 years we've been married we've been homesteading, consciously living in a sustainable manner
and almost NEVER buying anything new unless it can't be found/located used. Looking forward to pix of your new structure.
