    For those of you that do some woodworking or build things out of pallets, I found some good boards. Go to the Toyota dealership, if there is one near you. They are doing a leaf spring recall and they are shipped in wooden crates. My local dealer has a ton of them. They could be used as is for planters or other ideas or broken down. This is what I got today. Already took one apart. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    They are at least 4 foot. Two are about 7 inches wide and the other two are 4 1/2 inches wide. I prayed the bottom and middle pieces off, then cut the ends off.

    I wish I could pray the mud off the bottom of dogs feet, and the mud clods in the middle too between their toes.

    In 09' I installed a make-up air unit for a restaurant and used the shipping crate to build an interior door for the basement bathroom.

    Good idea on the re-purpose!
