knalltüte8 Mar 2020 08:44Hello, we calculated just for fun yesterday how much "waste" is produced during the manufacturing of the walls and ceiling cutouts and came up with at least 5m³ (176 ft³) of laminated wood panels with a thickness of 10cm (4 inches).
Our house builder said these could be delivered free of charge (possibly with transport costs) since they are not deducted. The pieces range from 1 x 1.4m (3.3 x 4.6 ft) up to 2 x 2m (6.6 x 6.6 ft).
No way to move them by hand... unfortunately...
Does anyone have a great idea what you could do with all that?
I would like to build a small outdoor sauna for a maximum of 2 people.
Is this material suitable for that?

knalltüte8 Mar 2020 14:35Yes, really. 5 cubic meters (m³)!
Each door opening: 2x1m (6.6x3.3 ft) x 0.1m (4 inches), double patio door: 2x1m (6.6x3.3 ft) x 0.1m (4 inches), window approximately 1.4x1.1m (4.6x3.6 ft) x 0.1m (4 inches), and so on. For the entire house (two semi-detached units with two living spaces each), it definitely adds up to more than 5m³ (177 ft³).
I’m probably skilled at DIY (at least that’s what I tell myself :cool), but the problem is my current limited mobility and the weight of the "panels." A 1x2m (3.3x6.6 ft) panel (each door opening weighs about 100kg (220 lbs) (2x1x0.1 x approx. 470kg/m³ (29 lb/ft³)). It’s a bit unwieldy – or...

Whether you have enough space and can move/store it is something only you can ultimately decide.
The 10 cm (4 inches) material thickness should not be underestimated, as it also needs to be workable. Any table saw or jigsaw is completely overwhelmed by this. From that perspective, I would recommend against it...
