The embarrassing thing about the whole incident is that I'm an NRA certified safety instructor and president of a 700 member rifle and pistol club. Guess I'll have proof of what not to do, while handling a weapon, when I go over safety procedures. Like you stated, live and learn from our...
Wow, I wish I could get lucky finding pallets that had those sheets of plywood. I have, however, been able to obtain a few that were built using 8' 2x4s, which I'm always ecstatic to snag up.
Nothing dramatic...was just cleaning an empty pistol and it accidentally discharged; blowing a hole through my left hand and left leg. Did I mention that it was empty? Atleast after it discharged it was empty.
Haha...I have access to unlimited free pallets from the industries around my work area. I just need to have the chance and the health to pick them up. Right now I am dealing with a left hand healing from a gunshot wound and a right hand that I sprained a week ago. The wife is on my butt to...
For one, I'd like to build a makeshift storage shed so I can keep the chicken feed, pine shaving bales, and other essentials so that I don't have to keep dragging them to the coop area on a daily basis. I also need to have it weather tight so I can install a solar panel system to power up...
Trying to keep myself busy by moving over 100+ pallets to their staging area near my coops. I have various projects in mind, but need more pallets..hehe.
Thank you sir! Yes, I was cleaning an "empty" gun and it went off..shot through my hand, through my calf and into my new wood floor..lol. The embarrassing thing is that I am one of those NRA certified safety instructors. Luckily, no bones were hit and I am hoping for a full recovery.
I actually can get 15 pallets, stood upright, onto the back of my Tundra. I do have a 6'x12' trailer, but refuse to register it since it cost just as much as a regular car's registration.
Was able to obtain 25 more pallets the other day, but all this snow is hampering me from moving forward to building something....I hate it. I'm now to over 100 pallets..lol
Thanks gtaus!
I am hoping that this will be the last of my coop building, so I'd like for it to last for quite some time. I can always expand upon it, if/when the time comes, but want the basis to be as solid as possible. OK, time to check out Facebook Marketplace to see who is offering free...
I'm planning on building another coop that will be 3 pallets wide by 4 pallets long. Would like to have just dirt flooring and do a deep litter method on top. My question is, should I atleast place the bottom row of pallets on cinderblocks, to protect from the elements, or placing them...
