Starting Pallet Wood Paneling & Spring Flowers
I got a load of pallets and got the idea to make pallet wood paneling in my off grid work shop. Melanie planted flowers around the two houses.
In the morning I picked up a full truck load of wood pallets. These are heat treated pallets so they are safe for use inside. I was waiting to insulate and finish the inside of my work shop/office due to finances. I was going to save up for paneling.
But when I brought this load of pallets home I realized that I have the perfect paneling right here. I can insulate my shop and finish the interior as I get more pallets.
I want to start on one wall first and work from there. At least it will be a start.
I managed to get one board on the wall when my brad nailer quit on me. I was using the Viair portable 12 volt air compressor to power the brad nailer and it was working. On a test board I nailed a piece of pallet wood to a 2x4.
So I got to work. Got 2 brads into the first board and the seal went out on me. This tool was cheap and lasted me through tens of thousands of brads on the tiny house so I guess it served its purpose back then.
I will have to open it up and see if it can be repaired. If not I will replace it.
For now though I used a hammer and nails. But I had to choose softer boards. The hard boards split and bend the nails. Thats why I wanted to use the brad nailer. It goes in fast and easy.
I got one small strip of the first wall done but ran out of time today.
I had been stripping down pallets to get boards for my work. Even the 2x4 nailers are from a large pallet I got for free.
But this all takes time.
I also got a load of leaves for the compost bin today. I had to build another compost bin, giving us three total. These are made out of pallets and are 4 cubic feet.
During the day Melanie was planting more flowers and herbs. She had brought some of our herbs back with us from New York and planted them in the flower beds around the house today.
We got some pansies on clearance because they had some mild frost damage. Melanie was planting these today as well.
She also planted in front of the Chalet today. It is going to be quite beautiful here this year.
