			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-510" title="pallet-house-pallet-detail" src="http://www.tinypallethouse.com/wp-content/uploads/pallet-house-pallet-detail-120x100.jpg" alt="pallet-house-pallet-detail" width="120" height="100" />I was recently contacted by a fellow named Roy who was looking for something to do with 200 pallets. He couldn&#8217;t find any buyers or even someone to haul them off free, so he&#8217;s decided to build something out of them. To help him visualize how I&#8217;d build a house from pallets I drew these 3D drawings with <a href="http://sketchup.google.com/" target="_blank">Google SketchUp</a>, the free 3D drafting software from Google.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been getting better at drawing with SketchUp and it only took about 30 minutes to draw this up. I&#8217;ll eventually replace the 2D plans on this website with a better 3D plans. In the mean time I thought I&#8217;d share with you what I shared with Roy.  The tiny house pictured here would use about 50 to 70 pallets. I left the roof off the design because I&#8217;m thinking more and more that the roof should be conventionally framed. Pallets over head just seems a little too risky, although I think Roy is going to find a way to do it safely.<span id="more-507"></span></p>
<p>For those of you playing with Google SketchUp here is my <a href="http://www.tinypallethouse.com/wp-content/uploads/pallet-house.skp">SketchUp file</a>. Also note that the pallets in the drawing are an odd size, 45&#8243; by 40&#8243;. That may explain why Roy had such a hard time getting rid of them. Standard 48&#8243; by 40&#8243; pallets tend to be easy to sell and give away, odd sized pallets are a different story.</p>
