Pallet Playhouse

Step 4Detach the board from the middle stringer.

Detach the board from the middle stringer.

You'll be left with a bunch of 1X4's and 1X6's attached to the 2x4 in the center.

By rocking the 1x4's and the 1x6's back and forth, you can get the board off without totally destroying it.

There were still be quite a few ruined boards.  Good for the woodstove.

Pull or remove any nails left in the board and stack it to the side.  I ended up having to rearrange and move my stacks of boards quite a few times as the pile grew.  Think ahead.  There's going to be a LOT of stuff in your garage/shed/backyard.  You may also want to grade your boards, based on knots, warping, bark, etc.  This will help later when you try to decide what to use for what job.

Save the nails, too, if they're straight.  The blunt spiral nails are really the best type of fastener to use when you're attaching the 3/4" lumber to your playhouse.  They minimize splitting.  You'll be amazed at how many you end up keeping.
