Project Pallet Shed- A Covered Front -

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on Project Pallet Shed. Sometimes life gets in the way. It’s been pretty busy around here between my IRL job, softball games, doctor visits, and the weather isn’t helping. In the last week, we have gone from spring to hello humidity. If you live in Ohio or surrounding states, you can appreciate what it feels like when humidity comes knocking on your front door. Yuck!

Enough with the excuses… Check out my little bunny. Isn’t he adorable. There is actually two bunnies hopping around and living under my stacks of pallets. They are just the cutest little things. They hide as soon as I head outside to work on the shed or mow the yard, but I can watch them from the back window. They have grown so much in the last couple of weeks and when they get much bigger I will miss their much smaller selves. (sigh)

Anyways…The outside structure is coming along fairly simple. I’ve had a few boo-boos I’ve painstakingly had to fix along the way. So far, I think it’s heading in the right direction. It’s far from perfect and that is OK with me.

The front is covered. The front took some time to figure out and planned. This isn’t exactly how I pictured the front, but add a couple flower boxes just below the windows and the roof and I think it will do.

After installing the door, the pallets I had in place for the front porch made it really difficult to open the door. Luckily it was an easy fix. I started removing the boards on the bottom side of the pallets to lower the pallets about 3/4 of an inch. Now the door works perfectly. I love it when problems can be resolved easily.

The picture below shows the start of the right side wall. Yep, it’s falling into place.

Hopefully, by the end of next week, I’ll be ready to move on to the roof. I have a few recycle ideas for the roof. The hard part is just figuring how and which one I want to use. So many options Hmmmm

While I finish the sides and figure out the roof check out the first 3 posts in Project Pallet Shed.

UPDATE!!!!!

Would you like more details on the construction process?

You’re in luck! I recently launched a book with all the juicy details. I explain the why and how the shed was built from start to finish. Grab your copy of Pallets & Tin Cans today.
