Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

This is the greenhouse, but red, built out of pallets and scrap windows. I tried to get a sort of close up of the siding that I made. Not sure if you can tell how it works or not from the picture.

:clap Fantastic job! Love it! What do you do for the roof? Can't really see how that was put on.
 
:yesss: I had to run into town today, so I drove past the Bobcat dealership to checkout any new pallets in the back. I found three long pallets with good wood that looked interesting. If it's not raining tomorrow, I think I'll take the utility trailer into town and picture them up. I love salvaging those long 2X4's.
I love it when you can get 2x4 size boards from pallets.
I live out in the country, and don't know any contractors. But it sure sounds like you have the good connections. Although I save lots of money by building my garden projects with pallet wood instead of buying it at the local big box stores, I get just as much satisfaction taking a landfill product and giving it another life.
I live in the middle of the city which is somewhat unfortunate in some ways, but it does give me access to many things that I otherwise would not have. Pallets and lots of contractors are one of the bonuses. I also get a lot of food for our animals from places that are getting rid of it for one reason or another. The chickens don't care if there is a brown spot on their apple or if the pumpkin they are eating was cracked :).

I posted some really good YouTube videos about using pallet wood for Shake style shingles and siding. I think that it looks fantastic. I would like to build a greenhouse using pallet wood boards as Shake siding.
That's really cool do you have the link to the videos. I would love to see other ideas on ways to do stuff with pallets.

I will need to find or take a better picture of the roof but it is 4x4s (or close enough to 4x4s because the pallets came from Germany so they are metric) with a groove routed in two of the sides. I then took glass from the windows and slid them in and caulked it really well. The biggest problem with the roof so far has been that I didn't pitch it very steep and leaves and stuff get stuck on it unless I remember to hose it off.

Edit: I found some pictures of when I was building it.
