This project took 3 weekends. We acquired ALLthe lumber for FREE from the Vestas Wind Turbine bone yard. Apparently, the big turbine engines, which run the wind machines, comes into the U.S. from Sweeden on giant wooden pallets. Not like a standard pallet, these pallets are made of 6×6 hardwood timber and riveted together with nuts and bolts. Very heavy.
You can go out to the bone lot, check in at the gate, and carry off anything that will fit in your truck or trailer. Seriously, I wanted to haul a semi-truck load of wood outta there – but – then we’d have to do something with it, and Brian’s got a huge to do list in front of him already.
