Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

trickle down economics, people who make things out of old pallets.

Wait, please can you elaborate on that last one?

😂 That one was the joke one

Phew, I'm glad I still get to keep believing that this really happens!

I'm proof! My raised vege garden was built from a pallet. Now you have a legitimate 'my internet friend' argument.

Faith in pallet humanity restored!

Hmm that sounds really good actually, were you able to use just one pallet and cut the bottom out?

[–] sortofblue 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dad built it - he pulled the whole thing apart and reassembled it. It's basically just a trough about eight inches off the ground, with a frame over the top for hanging bird netting over. He actually did a really job and could probably make some pocket money flicking them on the local facebook page.

That sounds really cool!

Are pallets generally untreated timber?

[–] sortofblue 2 points 1 year ago

I think you get both - the one I was given is untreated but we lined it with plastic anyway is some of the gaps were a bit big.
