    Feeling better only because I'm such a trooper....got the original portion of the shed refilled with no further mishaps---I'm mixing slab and rounds and splits for a varied selection come fall 2017...about to roof the new 6' section next sunny day and install metal siding that came from a demolition and is promised to me...yet to be seen:) IMG_0100.JPG

    Well here's the start of my latest pallet wood rack. The diagonal pieces are from a board wall I ripped out of the basement

    I'm more creative with foam, like my foam kayaks and campers, firewood is a little heavy for foam

    These pallet projects are making mine look trivial. Good work all. I think I may need to add another entry.

    Haha. Keeping it under wraps until the reveal. I'm under the home furnishings. I donated the piece to a charity auction and it found a new home.

    Scavenger, you no doubt have some determination and skills to get your project done.

    Didn't even break a nail!

    Well, maybe not the whole pile....the pieces on the bottom hadn't moved much! ;)

    It is the consensus that the shed was a bit unstable and now to a degree I may be too....and when the bruises reced I'll be the same old glamour girl....

    I like this! This gives me an idea for my stacks later near the house patio. Wanna keep at least a few weeks worth there and give it a few seasonal jobs. Chairs for sitting and enjoying the view in the spring and summer. Fall and That season where you chatter, get the big stand for that and cut it out well from pallets.

    Actually, not my entry, but I saw this today and thought of this thread. This was just a corner of it as it was pretty big.
