Being somewhat of a pack-rat, I am taking up about 60 sq ft of Oak Parkay Flooring. I got to thinking these small boards COULD be of benefit for my layout. Boards are about 1/2" x 6" x 3/8".
Wife says get rid of the junk! So far the only ideas I can come up with are:
Possible building (especially for G Scale),
Shoring the sides of an embankment
Don't think I will have any wooden roads or sidewalks..
Any other ideas? This stuff just looks to good to trash.
Help!

If it is solid wood, ripped into strips would make great beams for a bridge. I too am a confessed pack rat, so I know where you are coming from

That's probably the best idea - these are made from 1/4" sqaure and they are 9" long.

I have the better part of a two car garage filled with layout materials (or possible layout materials), while a $60K car sits outside. I think the wife would like the garage back, but I have a layout to build. I figure this gives her a little impetus to give me some time to work on the layout.
As to the wood flooring, I like the idea of a retaining wall. While the wood may look great, if it can't be used for its cosmetic features, then perhaps you can use it for risers for a grade. Beyond tossing it, please post whatever you end up doing with it.
