    I had my eye on these 2 big equipment pallets when it came in. Talked to boss man, said I could have them when equipment was installed. I got the text this morning they would be available in a few hours. Told him we were on our way home and I would get them this evening. Went to get them and another guy had just loaded them on his pick up. He took the off and helped me load them on our trailer when I told him they were mine.

    They are each 7'6" wide and 11'4" long. All oak, with 3x4 runners and 1" thick top boards. Thought about making one big shed, 11'x15'. Got to see what space we have, might have to make 2 separate ones.

    I'm glad you got them, that was a close one! They look beautiful for a shed or two.

    That was my original thought, but we need more stacking space.

    No, this shed will be unique. All the other sheds are made from 50x50 pallets, which are easy to handle. Got to design this one as I go.

    T.Jeff Veal Kudos to the guy that had them in his PU but upon learning they had been promised to you, helped you load them on your trailer. He was a good guy.

    Right where I want to be.
    Whew, that was close.
    5-10 more minutes, and he'd have been gone, eh?

    I looked closer today. One has PINE 3x4 runners the other has hardwood, maybe oak and hickory. They will be braced well underneath.

    Yes sir, he is. He knew I was telling the truth when I showed up with an empty trailer.
