I was in Grand Island all this past week. Walking down an alley to lunch on Tuesday, I spied some sturdy looking pallets behind a tile store. I wanted some pallets to stack the cabin kit on when it gets here (tomorrow!! yikes!), but the local Menards wanted $5/each, and I hadn't ponied up the money. So I go into the tile store, ask about the pallets in the alley, and the manager says "take as many as you want." When I asked how much he wanted, he said "they're free." Whoa! That was like music to my ears, given that I am slightly over budget already. I went to stack them in my pickup the next day. When I tried to get the top one off the stack, I discovered it was much heavier than I anticipated. Turns out these pallets are made of oak!! Talk about sturdy. Which makes sense, because they are loaded with bricks and ceramic tile. There's a picture of my 12 FREE oak pallets in my truck. The other pictures posted today are of the food and other supplies for a week of cabin building and some of our tools awaiting transport tomorrow, after my cabin gets delivered. Hope the wind dies down some and it doesn't rain! More later.
