I discovered that I have enough oak in the rafters to make a complete tool chest that I want to build. I've been squirreling away wood for years when I was working and had the cash flow to buy it. I wasn't trying to depend on having the cash flow after I retired, but I do, it turns out. Now that the wood is stupidly more expensive, I'm happy with that squirreling.
