ᐅ Is it practical to have about 5 cubic meters of leftover solid wood delivered with the house?

Hello, 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?

It definitely calls for a fireplace here! I need about 3m³/year (3.9 cubic yards/year)

The wood is probably treated with something... that might cause some issues.

That could be, but people have been more cautious about that lately. For 5m³ (176 cubic feet), it’s worth asking. Before I did it by hand, I preferred to have it delivered for free. But I also consider the environmental aspect.

The wood is untreated... only glued (similar to

Yes, but I don’t have a fireplace and won’t get one in the new build either (KfW40+ standard, living unit too small, fireplace too warm).

Well, actually, in the old house... The “fireplace room” is now an office, and besides, it’s more like a 90% “decorative fireplace” rather than a functional heating fireplace.

And 5 cubic meters with a chainsaw?

Because you can’t do that with an axe. So what do I have then? 20x10x10 cm (8x4x4 inches) or 30x10x10 cm (12x4x4 inches) blocks for a fireplace?

Advantage: They stack really well.

The wood is untreated and our adhesive content was 0.6 percent

Yes, guys, 5m³ (5.5 cubic yards) for free? Of course, take it, build, heat—no question about it. And the transport is definitely worth it!
