Default Where can I get a block of scrap wood?

I need an old offcut of 2x4 or something to go between my jack and the oil pan in my Jeep when I change the engine mounts... anyone know where I can pick one up? Any woodworking places in Al Quoz that will let me have a rummage through their offcuts?

yes, take a drive around the area, I found a couple of places that let me have a rummage.

Do you not have a housemaid you could use to prop it up?

Just don't let her use your pool afterwards.

Or let her shag your son.

Just go to any construction site in Dubai , 99% of them are not working , you'll probably get a tower crane as well...!
