We get pallets like this at work. They are annoying to work with bc theyvdo twist so easily. Can't build up a square pallet with product if it twists of you nudge it....(we ship pallets full of product)
I'd bet money you are absolutely correct. People hit pallets constantly at work backing...
Speaking of nails....
We went to take that roof off and it was nailed in...not screwed...we walked away. It's a big building (old chicken house) and we just didn't see the point in tugging and yanking for hours and hours....
We found a local man who sells used corrugated metal. And put our...
They look so comfy!!
I have pallets leaning against my coop...
Mine love to dust bath under it and also roost on it!!! I also hang their alfalfa feeder on one of them ....(soaked pellets)
I am definetly an overthinker...but where I struggle is when things don't "line up" according to my mental plan....then it's a mad mental dash to try to figure it out...and its all I talk abt and think abt 😆
Drives hubby mad sometimes 😆
Thanks! I was super pleased to say the least! I tried...
Yall!!! I have found 20ft long pieces of metal!!!
I've got to special order them into menards...but they have them.
I think this roof is gonna be the most expensive part 😳
Looking like a 500-600 dollar roof.
I need 17 20ft long 2x4s
And 6 pieces of 20ft long metal
Not sure when that's gonna...
In case anyone is curious...we are pretty darn square. The exact measurements are
L17'8"xW17'5" which is to be expected as I left 2 2x4s out on the front and back side.
The front is measuring a W of 17'7" currently back is at 17'5" we are off by 2" but that is easily fixed with some able...
We are talking abt trusses now. I am not sure how we'd do the roof just yet.
That requires some research!
Shout out to hubby who was able to help me knock out the last 3 walls!!!
It only goes up so fast bc I hyper focus on stuff like this. I also obsess....in my head....abt plans and how...
Like uneven ground 🤣🤣🤣
If we had the big equipment for leveling we would have...but alas..we do not....
Really we aren't too sure on the roof....
We went big, and well...now we've got to figure it out... it was gonna be 12x12...
It's done for now...
Outta wood...and used all my pallets...
We are thinking perlins, slanted roof, plywood and shingles, as metal is hard to haul at that length. We don't get a ton of snow...maybe 2 falls a yr...and likely they aren't much.
Yall....do you see it...
Spent 45min putting this wall up 🤬🤬
Imma fill in the gap with wood to make it level....
We are working with the ground we have and I am doing my best...
But sometimes......
The plan is to cut the excess 2x4s and 4x4s off...so those don't matter...imma use a 2x4 or a...
🤣🤣🤣
Imma try that!!!!
My oldest has been working on her duck dome 🤣🤣🤣
So thats where her attention is. (I build a little type domed playhouse type thing...from pallets.
.thats now her Duck Dome)
I am actually moving slower too. Its so hot. Hubby starts to cramp really really bad....and it...
I built the chicken chalet in the same manor, however i didnt use the 4x4s to make distinct corners. The 4inch screw screw in a bit "far" but they seem to be doing the job. Bracing is a for sure thing and we will tie it all together along the top with rafters and perlins ...@ least thats the...
The minors havent really shown interest in helping this time. A lot of it is just me...hubby will help if i cant get something. Or he'll hold the wall so i can screw...he does NOT do well on the heat with labor intensive stuff.
And thank you for the compliment.
I remember your shaker shingle...
