It's been a while since we had a project!
Granted, everything is a project. But this is one I've been wanting to do for a long time now.
Driving home from work this morning I noticed some pallets by a dumpster at a church downtown. I stopped and asked someone that was entering the church if they were trash and she told me I'd have to ask someone in the office and that they opened in half an hour.
I went back and asked if they were trash and they said "yes, please take em so they're out of our way!" Deal!
Eight of em, and most are in great shape! The best ones will be used as a stand for our water tote. A little homestead water tower to get our tote above the highest point in the yard. The rest will go towards starting a playground for the kiddos.
It's good to have a project again, the prospect is helping me get out of this little rut I'm in the last few days. I'll be sure and post when I've made the tower, it'll be a fun thing to do this weekend :)
Be blessed.
Be fruitful.
Stay relevant.

Oh man! Those pallets look just like the piles behind supermarkets around here. Except for they are guarded like treasure, and if you ask if you could have one, they look at you like you're crazy.

Right! I asked tractor supply if they sold theirs or used them and they looked at me like I was nuts and said "pallets? No, we're using them all." There's hundreds of em stacked maybe 20 feet high back behind their store and a half a dozen others. It would be really awesome to have a sustainable supply of pallets whenever you needed some.

Pallets are so much fun! There are never enough of them on a homestead.
