Building a Floor with Pallet Wood -Tiny Pallet House in the woods

- A time lapse of how we built the floor for our tiny pallet house build!
We are building a house out of pallets on our off grid mountain! We are not doing this to be trendy or cool, but to save money and build our home on a budget. It will start as a one room, 2 floor house that will look like a Pallet Tower and we will continue to add on more rooms later on.
It's not perfect, but it's a very sturdy floor made out of pallets!

love seeing Miss Ivy...she is getting sooo big 😀. thanks for the shout out...name is pronounce Ne "anna" ... like a neon light....I was born in the 60's , think my folks were smokin when they named me. Lets keep building a home! can't wait for the next steps
Kind of you to send the screws, Neona. He sure put em to good use. Now you're a part of the house forever. 😊
I know they sure appreciate it. It’s because of you that this video turns out so well and they can get more of their house done before this KY winter hits. I worry about it this year. Times are getting tough and every little bit helps
No problem! We really appreciate the contribution.
And I especially appreciate you telling me how to pronounce your name!
I think it's hit! Or at least some of it has, got down to 12° here last night and froze the brakes on our Jeep! Although that's probably got more to do with driving through 14 little ponds to get home vs just the cold alone..
Please keep sharing we are in the same boat building from pallets for emergency shelter cuz we didn’t have the means but has to move we used also screws and I’m learning a lot looking forward for the rest of how you’re building your beautiful house
As a father I love how you let your daughter do the intro. Absolutely adorable
These days everyone is screaming code this and code that when there are houses 200 plus years old that are built better than a new home. I love this because you are using what you have which is how it used to be done. Can't wait to see more of this!
I can relate with this, We've had our fair share of negative comments and even 'threats' by people we know in person based on how we live and how we built what we live in... I think codes are good for Grandma when she's hiring some unknown company. But otherwise I do not.
Here here! Sometimes it’s good to use the old ways.
Your message of building with pallets out of necessity really struck a chord with me... I'll be watching and learning from your leadership....
Best intro ever.
This is awesome.
My dad is a master builder/craftsman from Norway. We all grew up in the trade & had to learn most every job.
Glad to find your channel when you have already started. I will be bing watching for a bit. 😁
And i feel the same way about screws. My husband does now too.
When ee build our home 25 years sgo he learned how great they are.
I only wish we found land without building codes.

Welcome to the journey!
God bless you family and you , thank you soo much
The idea of building with what you can get ahold of is what brought me to subscribe. I have 160 acres in SW Colorado that had a bunch of old farm stuff on it and this is exactly what I do... Use what I have.
Welcome to the journey!
I love watching the builds. In the early 1960s my husband and I built a cabin in the remote woods of Soldotna, Alaska.
saw the title, thought "Pfft, two stories with pallets?", then I saw the pallets. Those are some GOOD pallets brudda. Rock on
You are correct, and I was very happy to find them!
But it wasn't easy those 12 pallets were the best out of 112 we picked up LOL
Ivy is already a genral contractor!
Nice job on the floor and supports, Josh! I really enjoy your videos because I'm always learning from you. Happy Holidays to you and your sweet family!
I'm glad you got something out of it!
I'm certainly not trying to teach anything, but it seems to be one of the better ways to explain why you're doing something that probably doesn't make sense at first
She's so cute great. Delivery and start to video
I would love to see the next part of it..
It's really amazing..
We've got videos from here all the way up to the roof.
i am so astonished by your determination. It is breath taking. The video was very educational. I am wanting to build a pallet woodworking shed. going to use pallets that have plywood on top and bottom. Now I am worried about connecting them together will have to continue watching and decide of a good way to go. thanks again. Keep up the good work as if you need to be told.
Love the explanation.. good work sir
She’s super cute and smart
So nice to see this process. Ivy is a getting to be a pro!
Looks good & sturdy for sure!👍 Ivy always makes me smile🤗❤️
That's one sturdy platform. Nicely done!
Thanks!
A big thank you in return Curtis!
I'll put this towards getting some more products on the website!
What the heck, she’s so cute and articulate 😂👏💕
Thanks again for showing me how to make a floor plain layout too put a shed on top of it ok
Glad to see it coming along so quickly. Can’t wait to see the next update. Seems like you will be getting walls up before you know it
I laminated the last of our roof trusses today!
We have four days of sun coming up, might try to get the walls up then. But it will be tight.
@@SteepintheWoods definitely keep moving though supposed to be a cold one tomorrow. I have a random question, with your spring do you need to let water drip to keep lines from freezing? I know even with our well water we have to, I wasn’t sure how the spring fed style worked
Nice floor and foundation
I like nothing fancy and use what you have. Well dun!
I built 2 sheds out of pallets and reinforced with up to code bolts,Hurricaine straps, and concrete solid footers and piers for about $700 dollars. It makes sense to recycle wood as I saw literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of new construction materials thrown away off of construction sites in my 10 years in construction.It's a sad state of affairs when all of that material could have been used by someone who was less fortunate.
Like your style, sir.
Truss Plate...is very important thanks for sharing! building 2 tiny houses in colombia this was super helpful
No problem, Welcome to the journey!
Where I live we have a ton of free hard wood pallets. Thinking they'd be great for a project like this.
All the pallets used for our walls were oak, and that made the job a hundred times more difficult. However it's a hundred times stronger as well.
Off to a solid start!!
good stuff Josh :)
My cousins house we built was almost completely screwed together. We had to take apart and redo a few things. I’m glad we used screws.
Absolutely! Screws are hands down the way to go, and I think if you're attaching pine to pine there is no issues in their use.
Unfortunately I happen to be building a house out of oak..
Definatly go back and add nails they are stronger and have more shear strength screw are harder and more brittle as you can tell when you hit one with a hammer and it snaps off instead of bending like a 10p nail
Wow! Where did you get such nice pallets? I can use maybe one in 5 of the ones I find.
We found a tire shop in our area that gets them on a regular basis.
Nice, the reasen some people do the floor different is becource they use extra stone underneat.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks great!
Have I missed the part where you insulate the floor?
😎👍 looking good
Nice thank you
I built a stage in my backyard out of pallets...now I'm about to make a dance floor out of pallets.
That's awesome!
Celia is wanting to have a party once we get the pallet Tower finished and something like what you got would come in handy!
Great Video
Something to think about Next time you make a floor those centre beams you threw in would be a lot better if you built them outside the pallets and use some wood glue and you'll have better access for putting them together then you can use a little less nails/screws and Lessen the risk of splitting the 2x4
I wouldn't mind building one lime this off grid somewheres
Where can I find your Amazon wishlist? Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks! Our list is in all of our video descriptions. This is it: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22G319KHMP2NN?ref_=wl_share
I need to offer you a big shout-out and a bakers dozen thumbs-up for your solid, well thought-out information.
I have been trying to suss out what you in one video put into a very clear and concise process of rational methodology.
I have the same thought process using screws and then nailing off my sub assemblies. I don't have the finances or fancy cookbook recipe approaches to getting the job done. Having an able-bodied common sense person validating this somewhat complex process is a great help.
Just a thought

I'm glad you could relate!
I had no idea I talked that much about screws at least not until Celia finished editing the video. Haha
Another important aspect which I failed to mention is the reusability of screws you can always pull them out and use them somewhere else but nails are much harder.
How long do you think wood in contact with the ground will last?
Remember the story of the 3 pigs? Learn anything?
Is love the plans. Especially if affordable in price. How will you line it? Cedar? And how did you waterproof?
Just came across your channel and this video. The cost of building is going to be an issue with us as well. Without getting too specific, could you tell me maybe which county and state you are in? I know not far from us in Idaho, there are no codes as well
I’m curious if you got inspiration from somewhere for the design or layout for the pallet house. I can’t imagine how much time you put in before you even touch a piece of lumber! Impressive!
I guess it would be the I-beam pallet house. It would at least be similar, even though the name I been is the building system we are purposely ignoring because it doesn't use the full strength of each pallet.
And I'm impressed that you picked up on that! Yes I think more thought it went into this than any other building I've done.
what kind of drill do you use and how long does a charge last? im wanting to do this and im off grid. Wondering what it takes(watts) to charge the drill and what kind of screws you use?
Are you using only heat treated pallets? Some pallets are chemically treated and some are heat treated to get rid of bugs
We are using whatever pallets we can find lol
According to the government.. even salt traded wood is fine for any and all uses except for food preparation tables.
Hey Josh I really like your focus on tie downs. I come from a windy place and it would be a tragedy to have your cabin fail with your lovely family in it.
I’m wondering what you are going to do for insulation and flooring?
Blessings.
Yes anchors are crucial with everything that I build! I find that they're both cheaper and more effective than doing concrete footers. Luckily here we don't have much wind. It was actually unsettling for Celia in the first bit to be surrounded by walls made of mountain but I like it! Privacy was one of the most important things I was looking for in a new property.
But I'm still well known for playing it safe so we always use anchors.
In our windy cities an pallet made shed has been built and an tornado came by and it is still standing beautifully
Good video I like the little one she says a lot and make some sense but anyhow what state you in I never heard of that Appalachian area
Kentucky, although the Appalachian mountains stretch over most of the eastern US...
We were originally born and raised in North Carolina, which is 3 hours away from where we live now.
But it is exactly the same as here!
@@SteepintheWoods oh ok thank you
Are the 3 beams made out of pallets too???
You are correct, they are made out of pallet boards as well.
❤😊❤😊❤😊
What's Up?
très beau boulot mais qu'est ce que tu causes bon sang ...
Can anyone get me some pallets by chance I live in missouri I wanna build me my own little home
Ну ДиКаприо, и мозгоклюй. Можно было за пять минут рассказать, как мы себя любим... Н
you can't afford plywood but you can afford atv and kids ? ok
Everyone has priorities
