I'm still packing up my house and getting it ready to rent out and waiting on my injury claim from an old boomer wrecking into me. Mumberg also wants me to waste the total loss payout on a 2010+ vehicle, if I can find a r*ntoid and a trugg and a trailer I'll be heading out there immediately.
I just need to make sure it's okay to listen to Reddit.
I would prefer plumbing but it's not necessary as I would build a reservoir within a rocket stove for a water heater.
Can I actually put a roof over this outdoor area?

That was about plumbing I went on walkies and discovered I could just build a rocket stove reservoir and run a hose from the well hand pump to the reservoir.
I really want to build 4 200 sq ft pallet sheds for at least my temporary dwelling and have them connected via walkway so I can mosy between them while staying /comfy/
Need a gym, a study, a bedroom/sauna and a kitchen, with the central area being a lounge. I think only the kitchen/shower and bedroom should be heated
How do I build a rocket stove reservoir kitchen shower and sauna bedroom?

Do you have a large number of free, high-quality pallets close to where you’ll need them? No? Then why the fuck would you insist on copying a gimmick? At this stage you’re practically just daydreaming an aesthetic.

Something worth looking into

Sometimes in life there are things that seem like good ideas. Then as soon as you start doing it for 30 seconds, you realize it's a horrible idea.
Breaking down pallets is one of those things.

I wouldn't break down the pallet sheds
Plus I'll have a little r*ntoid keeping me afloat
Maybe I'll do it once I get a reliable vehicle that can tow like a Honda Pilot for cheap.
Will probably build 8 sheds in total, I want a big house.

>>2895648 (OP)
>Using shitty, untreated wood
>for a house
>to live in
Sounds like a pretty bad idea to me. Maybe if you cover up both sides, and ensure enough airflow, the wood won't warp or rot.
But if you build it like in your pic, the bottom most pallets will start rotting away within a few years, and all of them will have turned grey after the first summer.
>On /pol/ they were telling me to build cobson adobe
Well, /pol/ is one of the highest IQ boards here, after all. I'd go with straw bales (maybe even on a pallet frame) and adobe instead, but there's no denying that adobe is one of the easiest and cheapest materials to work with.

Just called the city and they said that cobby adobe was kosher

>>2895648 (OP)
honestly seems like a great idea and I don't get the hate. you are basically using it as a control mechanism for your cob and wall internals not as foundation or support. make sure to pay real money for the beams and shit. However, despite giving you the green light I do see one significant problem. IF you are going out in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of pallets thats going to cost you a lot of time you could be using building the house. unless you have a bunch of shit you can throw in the negative space in the pallets bringing all that sparse material to the site is going to be a huge waste of time. so basically weather you are huffing fumes or not doesnt depend on how dumb the pallet idea sounds and has, as most things, way more to do with logistics.

Logistics, by the way, is why people do things like make log cabins, cob houses, etc. they used the materials they could source to build their home as close as they could get it. it sounds like you are also moving so definately dont do this shit if you are commiting to a bunch of trips back and forth.

You have to break down the pallets for the spare wood. You'll also need to get ALL the nails out, good luck not killing yourself on the kickback for step 2.
step 2; cut all the boards in half, then fold the halves back on eachother to cancel out the bends and the warps.
Step 3; cope. Pallets are expensive, and often used in toxic environments. the only semi-reliable way to get them is to work in a food factory, i.e. where they make frozen pizzas or cat food.
step 4; you're still going to have to buy stud beams to reach ceiling height. We haven't even gotten to the
step 5; assembly. hope long wood screws and nails are cheap in your area.
step 6; cope because now you have to laquer all the wood to prevent mice and black mold from immediately ravaging your house.
step 7; finally realize this was a bad idea, although cute in theory. Buy a used steel shipping container, 6 concrete blocks, and set the container on them.

Step 8 ;Either know a guy who has a plasma torch and welder or be the guy. Cut out doors. If you're afraid of tornados and/or falling trees and/or weather blowing your house away (presumably not since you were going to build this shit out of pallets of all things) tie it down with semi-conical sunken concrete pillars with embedded rebar (or you can rent a skid steer and partially sink the container into the ground, not reccomended due to moisture). Optional is a rolled square tubing arched roofing, acting like a crash cage on a race car to deaden the blow of anything that falls on it. That'll cost you around a grand no matter what size you go for.

step 9; clean the inside with a power washer and dawn dish soap, coat the outside with railroad grade paint.

step 10; Furnish the inside with the 3 pennies you have left from fucking around with a pallet shed instead of just buying used steel that's designed to contain things and protect the things it's containing from open sea water.

Those shipping containeroids only last like 20 years whilst cobson is forever

>>2897182
I agree, 20 years if you're lucky. However, shipping containers are about 2-3k a pop, are easily modifiable, movable, and hassle free. Cobson is literally a stonemason's job. Your house won't avalanche onto your dumb skull because you didn't pick the right grout or some shit in a shipping container.

Just use pallet wood as the removable frame/mould for the cob. If you're cash poor, labour rich, cob is the best building material, so long as you're not in an overly wet climate.

I never understand why homeless crackheads in blue states don't do this. Surly in a moment of clarity, they glance at the stack of pallets in the warehouse lot they're sleeping in and think "let's build"

>>2899008
Getting the pallets is the easy part. You still need to pour concrete inside of them, contain the concrete for it to dry, and build a new one once they get rained on and get rotten and moldy.
