Fence Supplies - the cheap way.

Last week stopped by a local grading business and asked the guy in charge if he ever gives away the pallets seen stacked up and his reply was yes, could have all, if so desired. Music to a girl's ears I tell ya!

Finally on Sunday was able to get the Jeep cleaned up a bit (remove bags of rock salt, jack, 4-way and all my cleaning supplies), went over and picked out 5 nice pallets and some boards with bolts through them. There was room to put one more but  couldn't find a nice one close to the top and was already maxing out on energy output so had to stop.  According to everything researched on the two projects (pallet wise), if this wood is kept off the ground it will last 4 years, if it touches the ground - less. So - am thinking - always thinking - that if kept off the ground and add a couple of layers of paint that should secure it for at least 4 years - right... and really how much could one expect out of recycled pallets - 4 years - That Works!

5 good clean pallets for making fence and garden boxes.
Will be going over there every evening that is a possibility - only after the nicer ones because there is a choice and clean is preferred. Can see a use for the ugly ones too just not yet - oh my gosh - could so wipe out his pallet collection this year - no doubt.

As the keys of this old, beat up computer are pop popping away with a slight stick here and there, the kitties are eagerly waiting their turn in the one open window of the Doll House - so - so got to get busy and get them an outdoor enclosure too. So much to do, with so little resources (cash flow), but that isn't forever and already items are appearing on our doorstep.

Ordered a reciprocating saw, will be in later on this week - didn't go with the DeWalt, was $50.00 more for the name - so long as there is a warranty - its all good.

Need nails, long nails - spikes, some brushes, paint, and posts. Then after the building of the garden boxes the only items needed are some PVC piping, burlap, and own recipe of soil.

Already have ALL our NON-GMO, Heirloom, Organic seeds - went ahead and purchased them before they sold out!
(After our crop is up and growing - will be offering extra seeds for sale)

Have some really, really big plans in store for Gargoyles Animal Rescue - yep, yep!!
