And here's what the lumber fairy left us.
I will be using these to build up the low areas of the garden/patch. I don't think that I'll use up all of them. But, it would have cost the same to have him deliver 40 as it did to deliver 60.
I also picked up some 6" and 12" spikes. Today, I went back to get some treatment for the end cuts and some rebar to anchor the structure. Don't worry, I'll document the entire building process, which should start tomorrow.
After doing a lot of reading, I decided to get over my aversion to using treated lumber. I would have loved to use untreated rot resistant wood. But, cedar was all I could find in my area and it is just way too expensive. I did, however, make sure that these were treated with ACQ, which is a copper-based preservative, and not CCA, which contains arsenic.
