Post G20 plywood
We've been having fun watching the news and events associated with the Pittsburgh G20 Summit and we're happy to see our fine city host this international event. While many businesses decided to close up shop we've remained open and have experienced a significant uptick in customer traffic.
For those businesses that did close... our environmental eagle eyes have noticed lots and lots of plywood and we can't help but wonder what folks are going to do with all that plywood once the G20 Summit is over and they "un-board up" their shops? Naturally... we have a suggestion.
Donate that plywood to Construction Junction and get a tax deduction in the process! Plywood is a much coveted item here at CJ and we hardly ever get it. We thought it couldn't hurt to mention this idea and put out the call.
On a seperate note... If you haven't been to CJ lately then you'll notice a recent improvement on your next visit. A few weeks ago a large section of our parking lot was repaved and it has made it much easier to wheel carts of merchandise in and out of the store.
