Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

I HAVE to ask him to lug the feed bags cos I got 2 artificial hips and am no longer allowed to carry weight over 5 kg, i CAN, but...

Yeah, understand. I had a tough winter and when I went to buy 50-pound sacks of chicken feed, I would ask the young guys there to load it up in my car. When I got home, I would just transfer the feed from the back of my car into 5-gallon pails about ~25 pounds each, but with a handle, and much easier to carry. At one point, that was all I could handle, and I knew it.

Thankfully, I am better now. But it left me with a greater understanding of how to work within my limitations, even if temporarily in my case. In your case, I hope you protect yourself. Good to hear you have others to help when needed.

The flip since is why get married.....since I am capable of fixing stuff and had a decent job I never got around to getting married

My husband needs me for fixing stuff (repairing things) bc he gets annoyed very quick if things don’t work out the way he wants them.
I love power tools. These make the work so much easier. I never had any pallet projects though and Im not a good carpenter at all. My skills are just good enough for chicken coops and fences.

I haven't got any experience with power tools. I have tried using hand tools but everything gets wonky. I would like to get myself in a comfort zone to make some but for now I will just go without the beds.

My dh was never very handy. When I wanted to get chickens I knew I would be the one building things. I invested in a Milwaukee cordless drill because my dh never could locate his. I muddled through and built a hoop coop with very little assistance. And while it's not "professional", it does the job, and I learned a lot.

Then I built a second hoop coop behind the first!
