Pallet porch project=low budget comfort
One area we've cut corners on when
we first moved to our homestead was comfort.
We talked about building some
sort of porch near the door, but both of us had 20 other things that
seemed more important.
In my opinion the joy felt
from starting the Fall/Winter season with a freezer full
of garden fresh produce outweighs the comfort of having a few less
mud puddles to walk through.
These old pallets
took just minutes to be converted to what I call a mini pallet porch,
which has already made me feel more comfortable.

flat understanding
We understand about the comfort level here. When we moved to the woods it didn't take long to understand the importance of what you have done here with the little porches. Isn't it nice to have a few places where you don't have to stand around with one foot higher than the other?

Raising the comfort level
In my opinion, this is one of the big benefits of starting from square one --- you really appreciate a pair of converted pallets that probably cost less than $10 in lumber and screws and fifteen minutes of your time. If you live in comfort, it takes a lot more time and money to get that kind of boost.
