RE: What Prevents Action? MONEY. [QOTW Competition 8.6]

I see a lot of good stuff come up around here, but I live in a rapidly gentrifying city sooooo there's a lot of construction and remodeling and so on happening all the time. Apparently with the cost of building materials skyrocketing, even the Habitat for Humanity Reuse Store was getting picked over, per the comments sections of people asking for leads on supplies locally. The costs of this stuff is crazy right now!

It really is! I actually just broke ground on a huge project, I am building a primitive stone house, using most materials from my property. You can check it out here: https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@queenmountain/i-am-building-a-stone-house-my-primitive-off-grid-building-journey

You can head to those construction zones and pick thru their bins and ask them to put aside any spent materials. There is usually a TON of waste at these sites that are perfectly reusable.
