"gray barn board"

It's worth the effort. That is, to take five minutes to drive over to Handley Lumber Mill while visiting in Fenelon Falls. To ask the manager if I can get barn board, gray on both sides, enough to fill my trunk.

Back home in London, I use it for birdhouses and roofing material (3/8th inch slats), and it is by far some of the nicest pine I work with week to week.

And recently, after cutting the gray barn board into various parts for duplexes, I had one piece left over for a small birdhouse repair.

Worth the effort? I think so.
