Talk:Reclaimed lumber

Questions
"Reclaimed lumber is wood that has been taken from long-standing idle buildings and refinished for new purposes."

Why must it be from buildings? Can't one reuse railway sleepers? Why must they be long-standing idle? Cant they be stripped out for other reasons? Why must it be refinished? Why would one refinish a joist anyway? Why must it be readied for new purposes? Cant joists be reused as joists?

I'm going to edit it, but I put that here in case people see it differently. Tabby (talk) 03:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
