I got 12 pallets, each 4ftx12ft
While browsing Craigslist today I happened upon a listing in the free section for pallets. The listing was from a few days ago but it showed a large number of pallets available for free. I decided to load up the boys, the trailer, and we went to see what was available. Of the original amount in the listing there was about a 1/4 of the pallets left. I pulled up next to the stacks and loaded up this pile to bring home.
While I was strapping down the pallets a guy drove up to check them out and he said he would be back for some. I am going to be leaving in a little bit, as soon as @stryeyz gets home from work, to go and make sure I can get another load of at least 12 pallets. These things are huge, each contains a large amount of wood, and have massive potential.
I will post in the morning the pictures of my unloaded haul. I have a bunch of ideas for uses of these so the more I can get the better.
I LOVE FREE!

Nice haul! Looks like a proper homesteader's jackpot!
I'm hoping for at least double this tonight too. fingers crossed
I have a friend who collected hardwood pallets and used them for flooring in his house. It's really cool, and rustic although much more work than he had expected.
I bet that was a lot of work. Having to surface each one to make it somewhat smooth let alone the disassembly. I am not nearly the much of a glutton for punishment to try that, though it could produce an amazing floor.
I have found pallets to be very useful. I had a bunch sitting around after a project. I cut them up and burned them as firewood.
Pallet wood can be very unique, and beautiful for construction projects.
Love what you guys are doing!
I am super stoked on these since normally I have been finding regular 4x3s, but these are 4x12 and a few of them are closer slats that run lengthwise. I hope to get more of the closer ones tonight since they are 5 feet wide, not 4.
I have found that they are perfect for window, and door trim (if you don't mind rusticity). I like it when the slats are close together. I use a few now as temp door stoops. Some I have found have full size 1x4s. Just like straight from local sawmill.
These are all dimensional cut lumber so the runners are actually 2x4. I got 15 more tonight but they have fewer slats, but still the dimensional runners. Buildings will be built soon. The el nino winter means I am not having to contend with snow on the ground so I can actually still accomplish some things around the farm.
