How can you say no to someone with a parrot on their shoulder. Kennedy is a great addition to this list.

I'd like to take this moment to give a shout out to Kennedy Rentals. As a homeowner doing a massive remodel, we've had to go to Kennedy time and time again to rent scaffolding (we have some right now) jackhammers, and a few other tools. Plus, when you go into his office to visit, he's almost always got a parrot on his shoulder.

Another good resource in PDX is Shurway building supply. While they don't sell reused lumber, they sell quite a number of seconds, especially sheetgoods and plywood. You can get a really good deal if you are willing to use what they have available.

Thanks for the writeup on Portland. I visit these locations every weekend searching for fun stuff. The Rebuilding Center is the true gem. You can easily find lumber for a project or siding for your 1890's bungalow or a window sash that matches your 1940's Tudor. I recently recycled some tongue and groove cedar into a garden structure to grow squash.
