Homemade Wood Rack

New wood rack ready to be filled

Our old pallets are getting weaker with age, so Drew crafted a new wood rack out of 26 year old pressure-treated lumber that came off of our front deck when it was replaced in 2012. 

Bricks and pressure treated cross pieces

Waste not, want not, is his motto. Never throw anything that could be useful away (as far as building materials are concerned.) 

A separate cross piece was later also screwed above the lumber in the center for more stabiity.

The first new wood rack is filled. It is a somewhat low stack for stability purposes

Drew was wondering when that wood would become useful. He has just enough to construct two more racks to stack the wood.

And, here is Drew's trusty foreman keeping track of the building of his new home! He is waiting for the add-on stack to make a longhouse. He gave the rack a bushy tail's up of approval!
