    I’m going to start working on this next year. My company throws away pallets every day, and I just think to myself man… wouldn’t it be cool to build a couch or bed frame instead of spending $1000 on it? Looking forward to this.

    Yeah, retail stores often have pallets in their backrooms that they use to move stock around the floor and warehouse. That said though, the Target I worked at often had the s~~~tiest wooden pallets that were falling apart or rotten from getting wet (stored outside). That or they used plastic pallets that flexed under load. It was pathetic trying to wheel around stock on those pallets because invariably s~~~ would come tumbling off the pallet.

    If you’re looking for good, clean wooden palletes locally, your best bet is probably a Costco or Sam’s Club.

    I used two heavy duty boiler crates as mini sheds using swimming pool metal for the roof! Another shed I used swimming pool metal for the siding and a pickup cap for the roof. I’m contemplating making a pallet firewood storage shed with swimming pool metal for the roof!

    I used to buy concrete and lumber for projects like this before our economy collapsed.

    Buy an old 40 foot shipping container.
    Instant shed-you’d be surprised how cheaply you can buy them.

    @MG-Tower I’ve never seen a house before that incredible! Just needs the land…

    @It’sallbs – Haha man you have no idea how long I’ve been interested in container homes. I actually work in international logistics as well. A 40′ high cube is like a dream, I’ve been checking out earth homes as well https://inhabitat.com/8-inexpensive-earth-homes-almost-anyone-can-afford/

    I will live in one of these before my days are done…. cheers to the MGTOW movement for allowing mankind to pursue our goals
