Rita, I don't know if you have one where you live, but in many cities around the country, there is something called FreeCycle. It is a listserv where people ask for what they need and others offer things they don't need anymore. The rules are that everything has to be free, no strings attached. You have to pick up the items that you want. It's a good way to find all kinds of scrap wood, carpet pieces, etc. I've even seen cars and trucks being given away on mine. Just a thought for getting what you need. You could google FreeCycle list and then it will ask for your zip code.
