FREE Pallets....what to use them for?!

[Cindiloohoo]

I have been given 15 pallets if I will come and get them and more later if I want them. I have a decent coop, and nest boxes, and a seperate area for goats/kidding stall area. I have been looking for ways to make extra money. I wonder what I could make to sell with these? I haven't got plans for them yet, but was wondering what might be the best way to use these. How would I use them to get the most out of them? Does anyone have any plans for building coops/nest boxes/etc. that you wouldn't mind sharing? I don't want to waste them building here when I really don't need them for anything in particular. I would LOVE a bigger coop, but will do that when the finances are straight. It is taking a lot of effort to not want to use these for myself!!!! I know you all know what I mean

Any ideas of recycling these into something marketable? I could sell whatever I decide on at our local flea market.

We used four pallets to make a compost bin. DH stood three of them up to make a three sided enclosure. He propped the fourth one across the opening to make a slanted 'lid'. It's easy to pull the top off if we need to get into it, and when I have scraps, I just dump them through the slats in the top. It keeps the dogs out, and one of the pallets is missing a slat, so the chickens can squeeze in and scratch it all up. Sorry, but I don't have a pic of it.

make two-stage compost bins out of 5 pallets. You may need to cut the dividing middle pallet down some so its easier to throw/shovel the "ready" compost into the ready to use side.
