House using pallets treehouse tiny house fun recycle

http://www.backroadsliving.com/standard-pallet-size/

I want to build a house like this but as a treehouse with my grandson.

I dont need trees to make one. Be an interesting project thats for sure. I dont really have knowledge of building, but where there is a will their is a way!! Right!!! lol






Taken from website....

Walt got his pallets mostly from dumpsters where businesses throw them out.  What a great way to save money!
The Cabin is a 12’ x 12’ and Walt said he used approx. 18 pallets. Now keep in mind Walt’s pallets were not the standard size but were mostly 8 – 10 foot in length and 4 feet wide.
You need to take this into consideration when figuring how many pallets you need.  So my estimation would be at least 36 – 40 or a little more of the standard size pallets would be needed for this size house.
The siding came from a friend who was remodeling his deck and from dumpsters also! This is a complete repurposed project as far as the wood goes!
He is also building an addition to house his smoker and has built a great Barbecue Pit beside his Pallet House.  I think this is a terrific project for anyone who has access to pallets of standard size or otherwise!
He still needs to get his door framed in. He said he had to hang it temporarily to keep his chickens out. They were making it their home and laying eggs in there! Hey, I can see a pallet hen house in the future for some of you!

Minimal tools needed:

  1.   Hammer and Nails. I use Estwing 16-Ounce Rip Claw Hammer with Steel Handle. I find them to have great feel and balance.
  2.   Skill Saw and a blade with carbon tipped teeth incase you hit unseen nails.
  3.   Reciprocating Saw or Jig Saw to cut curves if needed. I prefer Dewalt sawsall or Milwaukee here.
  4.  Level..
  5.   Tape Measure. I prefer Stanley.
  6.   Gloves. You don’t want splinters.
  7.   Saw Horses.
  8.   Crow Bar.
  9.   Speed Square
  10.   Drill. Again I prefer Dewalt or Milwaukee
