Funny how things come full circle, I've done the same, demo lumber works pretty good for a lot of things, I still have a bunch of 2x4's in the yard, a stack of 2"x8"s, 3/4 plywood and a bunch of 6x6's, 2x8's and ply have been outside. Did a bunch of work, retained a lot of useable and good lumber, then never had to the time to use it. Just used a section of roof that was in a building part of an interior office in a auto shop, now the roof of a firewood shed, set with my 850 ford with loader and forks, took a few minutes, now why did I leave it for so long LOL ! Another year it would have been in the stove for heat, was easier to just use the darned thing and get some wood under a roof.

Only thing you might have done is put an ad in CL or similar and see if you could get rid of it that way, organized and per your liking, some people are too picky to deal with. I rarely see adds for good used lumber, free or low cost last long, the stuff moves around here. Few years back someone had a huge pile of 2x6x12's, free ad was gone in an hour.

When we got into it with the town about our old victorian style farmhouse, which was abandoned, I had salvaged a bunch of fir wainscoating and other lumber that only had clear varnish on it, they condemned it, we fought and won an injunction to stop, but again too busy, working out of town, also in college at night out of town, whole stack went with it, all the work, de-nailing, carefully taking it apart, was some nice stuff, wanted to finish a room with it. At least I got the fireplace mantle out with it, and the town paid a lot money for that pile of rubble !

When you need space thats taken by something you have not used, don't regret it, in years time it will be so far behind you, won't matter. I have some barn beams and smaller timbers in my cellar, used inside this house when built for finish aesthetics, rest is kinda taking up space, I could not bring myself to burn it, or dispose otherwise need to find a use for it, kind of cool to have parts of that old hay barn, but even this small stack, which has another stack of Douglas Fir 3x8'x16's and smaller, oh, and what about the stack of short 1x's in the corner, I love wood working, carpentry etc., lots of material on hand been around for many years too long.
