Just came back from visiting my local Home Depot in Etobicoke (Canada) at Shareway Mall.

I’ve been wanting to design a deck, and a picnic table, but didn’t know how much it would cost me. Now I should be able to estimate a cost without making a trip to HD.
Here are the current prices as of 18 April 2010.

Pressure Treated Lumber:

5/4 x 6 x 16 – $10.76

4 x 4 x 12 – $14

2 x 4 x 10 – $5.75

2 x 8 x 12 – $14

2 x 6 x 12 – $10.30

1 x 6 x 8 – $3.55

Very interesting, and potentially useful.

I am almost finished getting through the audio version of the book Listening: The Forgotten Skill by Madelyn Burley-Allen, and I want to write about the profound effect this book has had on me.

Out of all the audio programs I listened to and books I read, I think this one program has had the most impact on my awareness of myself. I feel more conscious of my thoughts, and give more thought in conversations as to be most effective.

This one is on the list for re-listening again. For me it was very profound.
