[SunRescue] (way OT): Pallets

[Mike Hebel]

Not so crazy.  I built book-cases out of pine box tops from rolls of steel
that came in from Japan.  I used to get them from a local manufacturing
company that had to pay to get them hauled away.  They gladly let me take
them.  You can build a lot of things out of other materials if you take the
time.

Hell, I used pallets to make a workshop in the garage of a duplex my wife
and I lived in.  They worked quite well.  (4" x 4" posts from the pallets as
legs could hold up anything!)

eh, well, you're gonna think we're nuts now...

take 9 pallets (smallish ones) and put them together(bolted to each
other)in a 3 x 3 grid. attach caster wheels to bottom of pallets. throw
a king-sized mattress on top (no box spring). voila! instant
contemporary/modern ledge-type bed-frame for ~20 bucks instead of, say,
800.

crazy idea, isnt it?
