I would imagine a Walmart store or some other large stores get items on pallets. (we called them skids).

They come in different sizes of width and length.

Most common is 40w x 48L. there are plenty of other sizes as company's requirements do vary but the most common is the one I listed.

I used to buy re-conditioned ones where missing boards were replaced and none of it was brand new but useable.

Truckloads of them at a time.

Sometimes there is decent slats on them. Hopefully ya git one without the pesky Yeller jackets on em. That sucks..

We bought two cords of firewood last week. Today we went to the other house to retrieve three double-sized pallets and one normal pallet on which to stack the wood. We have to stack it soon since it's not aged wood and is therefore considered wet. For burning, it's best to let firewood sit for a year though you can buy it aged - for about $100 more per cord.

I pulled two pallets and laid 'em out on the ground by the trailer. One had an ant swarm on it and I wanted to give them a chance to leave.

I pulled #3 and walked about halfway to the other pallets, then yelped and dropped it. A hornet had gone up my shorts and stung or bit me just shy of the parts that matter! LOL. I finished hauling the pallet from where I'd dropped it and confirmed that it had no nest on it. But I could see black hornets swarming above the fourth pallet... which I then decided to abandon. It's just not that important. Neutral

The pallets aren't in great shape and I need more, so I may be heading out soon to retrieve some newer ones. My wife already has a lead on a guy who has free pallets.

I hope everyone else's day is going at least as well!
