The Power of the Pallet

11/19/2015

The humble shipping pallet, all of us have used them for one project or another.

But do you know about the "Power of the Pallet"?

Let me explain........ 


Any red building on our farm is a pallet building. What I mean it is constructed from pallets. From the walls to the roof some part of the building started life as a humble pallet. You may ask WHY?? One word, COST! Pallets around here are free for the asking and lumber is not. Second, pallets are mostly hardwoods and they make extremely strong buildings. The wind and rain may blow but these buildings do not even creak or groan. They just stand as a silent testimony of their inherent strength.

Below is our latest completed building. (the one on the left)

Most of our chickens are real homebodies, they love to go out and forage but they never stray too far from the coop. This is the natural nature of chickens. Once they "imprint" on and area that is home and they stay near it.

Well we have one chicken that never got the memo on that point.

When we let them out for the day there she goes up to the pond and beyond. It is not unusual to find her up at the tractor barn checking things out. This is over 150 yards way from the coop. Yet, without fail, every night she makes her way back down the hill for dinner!

Recently we got our hay for the winter.  Due to scheduling conflicts between us and our supplier, we had to get a few bales at a time each day during the week.  Once all the hay was home then came the big push. All 18 bales needed to be moved into the barn that last night, it was going to start raining the next morning. So into the wee hours of the morning we worked. One bale at a time Michelle would pick up and take and stack them in the barn. This is a shot when we were done that night.
