Pallets: Extraordinary Uses for An Ordinary Object

Pallet Projects: What "wood" you do?


I never realized just how many creative ideas could come out of an old pallet. Not only is it a great way to repurpose our resources, but it is inexpensive too.  Take a look at my collection of inspiring indoor and outdoor pallet projects that cost virtually nothing to create but add lots of pizzaz to any home or garden.

Keep in mind that pallets are made from a rough low grade wood, and may need to be disassembled -- a time consuming process. For a quick easy method use a saw with a blade for nail cutting.

When shopping for pallets, look for heat treated, not chemically treated pallets, especially if you plan on using them for interior furniture or gardening projects.

Keeping an Eye on Sarasota Native, Nik Wallenda - If You Can Stomach It!

Sarasota's Nik Wallenda Takes His Tight-Roping Talents to the Grand Canyon

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First it was Niagara Falls. Now Nik Wallenda plans his next big challenge as he prepares to walk 1,500 feet across the Grand Canyon on a tight-rope. This stunt is his most dangerous ever, as he will be elevated 1,500 feet above the ground, a height taller than the Empire State Building, and he's doing it all without a harness or a net.
 
Wallenda, a Sarasota native, has been practicing right here in our own backyard. He's holding daily practices and providing a chance for the public to observe. Growing up in a famous family full of tight-rope walkers, it has always been his dream to walk across the Grand Canyon, and on June 23rd, he'll get a chance to fulfill that dream.
 
Even high above the Grand Canyon, Sarasota will still be on his mind. Wallenda recently told visitors, "When I'm walking there, I'll be envisioning myself right here in Sarasota training." After all, he's just a hometown boy who's made it big and loves sharing his success with the citizens of Sarasota.
 
If you can stomach it, Nik Wallenda's dangerous walk will air live June 23rd on the Discovery Channel.
