That’s exactly why pallets are still legitimate pieces of firewood. It never ceases to amaze me that people are willing to buy those bundles when hundreds of pallets sit in the back of the same store possibly for free. Takes a few minutes to be cut up and literally has the same btu value as the bundle, if not more! I’ve been in the place where I’ve bought some yes but had not secured dry sources of wood and it was kindling.
Good lookin' there, Mr. Veal. I'd do the same as you and use them for shed floors. Four 2x6, a few 2x4, and a few sheets of metal roofing maybe. Or whatever else a guy can scrounge in GA. I wish we could scrounge metal roofing up here, but for Pete's sake the old stuff has "patina" so half the time it costs more new than at HD! Every restaurant or bar that opens nowadays has old roofing in the decor.
I seen new "patina" roofing at Menards...it was meant specifically for decorating as I believe it is plastic...looks like kinda rusty galvanized corrugated roofing...
Can’t beat that. Those will hold for a long time kept off ground. You plan to use some cinders or pavers?I might do the same but since it’s going on a cement surface, just best to keep it blown clean when possible.
will those be dismantled and used or "as is" ? Glad you did get them. Scores can be a matter of minutes make or break!
Is there an end in sight? How can it go on that way? Is it common for your area to have extended heat waves like this? Grow where you're planted, but man I couldn't take it.
I think this is it... https://www.menards.com/main/paint/...gated-steel-panel/1558115/p-1528698555837.htm
A little of both. I will take some of the slats off and space them evenly. May have to get a few 5/4 deck boards to fill in.
No ma'am. We don't usually have this much heat this late in September. We are in a bad drought, trees are dying, grass is brown and hard to cut. Archery season for deer came in the 14th, glad I'm not hanging in a tree right now.
Ha! $12.79 for a square yard. Interior use only but that's probably just because of the faux rust. Is 29 gauge thinner than the new stuff?
the slats are 1x6 and stringers are 2x4, both are full size rough sawn. Mostly oak and sugar maple. Occasionally poplar FatBoy85 I can only take a couple at a time. Pot luck if any are there. I get my 40x48" pallets there.
Yep same sort of deal if I find it. I have been lucky to also find this mix of dunnage that are 4x4’s for pipes/other heavy metal fittings, half are poplar/cottonwood if I can see. A couple may be maple of some kind, they are heavier and then rest are oak. I found these, didn’t post about them, but still a great find. Problem is they had the pipes strapped so tightly that the paint from these just worked onto the wood. I’m thinking a good rough sanding would help. Not as if the paint is slathered on the wood but hard to pass it up. Makes good makeshift stack bases, ran side by side. I wondered if they were a massive pallet or just a form that was bolstered with steel “tape” and the pipes were mainly the frame. Either way good pick up.
