I can't take credit for being the first... in my wanderings I've found many people building with pallets. So no worries there.... and... in a way you DID think of it first :-) As far as burning pallet wood... since you never know what scrap wood has been treated with it's best to use caution when burning and cutting. I wear a respirator when sanding of am doing repetitive cutting. Personally speaking I think I might risk burning in a sealed wood stove but not a camp fire. Thanks Teyo.

I'm not sure there is a faster way than packing by hand. You might want to check out this post and the World Hands Project website. They may have some good advice on this approach. http://www.tinyhousedesign.com/2009/10/21/world-hands-project-pallet-houses-in-mexico/ Good question Allan.

I intend to use P.I.S.E. to fill the cavities after the plumbing and electrical are installed. Does anyone know where I can get the use of a gunite machine or of a free way to do this without all the manual labor involved putting the dirt in by hand although this worked very well for the Romans. LOL Thank you for your time. Big Al I am building an Earthship in Gorman TN and have decided on using pallets for the inside walls.

I was just wondering about free sources for materials, like plywood. I've discovered that sometimes landfill operators will let you salvage building materials from the edge of the dump. Also, some folks advertise for structures to be torn down where you can scavenge materials. Thanks Michael for sharing a good idea. I really like the resell idea for stuff found on craigslist. I'm thinking of combining the pallet walls with a thatched roof design using giant reed poles (Arundo Donax) that grow wild everywhere around here. I wasn’t griping, you guys.

There are pallets everywhere and nobody ever seems to have a use for them. I am thinking about using this idea to build a small shed or storage area. Awesome design and creativity.

I think I will use your pallet idea to build a boat house at the cabin. Hate someone has to take a good idea and gripe about it not being "free" instead of thanking someone for sharing a good idea, amazing how some people can find fault in anything.
