    Greetings, I have pulled up greater than 260 sq. ft. of Maple T&G flooring of random lengths, 2 1/4 wide as part of a remodeling project. I was looking to keep this out of the landfill by re purposing it in some way. I tried to contact some architectural reclamation sites and have received no answers. All the nails have been pulled. I also tried craigslist, but have only received an inquiry or two wanting a specific number of feet as if I were a flooring store. Just wondering if you guys were aware of some secondary market for this stuff.
