Listening Room part 10...Are pallets worth the hassle ?

[@G4RY1159]

I was in Polmont YO's back in 1989 and all I done 5 days a week for my full sentence was break up pallets, they called it the Pool party, truck after truck after truck came in full of them, every night it felt like I had took a sleeping tablet as slept like a log. Seen many fight too, despised the place and got me thinking about those men that done or still do hard labour breaking up rocks all day, or even men from the past that worked down the pits, one of which was my old Grandad, fair play to all such men. But every single time I see or hear the word Pallet! my head reverses right back to 1989 - I can see myself still breaking up those pallets, my hands were in some mess when I finally got released.

Id love to make a video comparing DIY center prices, I made videos in Asda and Tesco with the intention of comparing prices here but that was in January, Plastering is a skill I wish I had, im great at filling a hole, but plastering a full wall fuck that.

B&Q are pricy on loads of stuff but, plasterboard, plaster etc all seem to be price fixed...I bought the majority of the materials on Gumtree which saved a few quid

​@@zambotv8150 gumtree is great save a fortune just getting what people didn't use, that's why it's good having a van

only just seeing this vidmate you dont seem to show up on my feed anymore for some reason. welcome to the pallets , thers more there if you want them. i do think your off your head even considering using them tho!

Pablo, you've known me long enough to know I surf a fine line between bonkersness and sanity. As for the pallets, cheers buddy, wait to you see what I do with them. As I said in the video it's a load of hassle recycling them but, there's something fulfilling about upcycling

Its coming along there phil

Hopefully I am on the last lap Paul.... I thought it was plaster ready weeks ago then, I had to rebuild that back wall and double skin the inside of the unit again... It's been a ballach mate but, at least I know what's involved in doing the building work now. Are you back in Scotland yet? Loved the Almeria video, hope you F and the weans are all good buddy, Z

It's just the usual crap Gav but, it'll be stained and varnished before I put it up... I don't really have a plan for inside the room yet, I'll get the TV screen mounted, some dampening up then pop in the monitors and have a listen.... It's been a bit of a mission mate but, I have a more realistic idea of ythe costs and the timeframe now for the rest of the construction
