so i stumbled upon this post, and i can't help but laugh at some of the comments... 1)"A wooden stockade fence like this one should always "face" outward toward your neighbor's property, so that they are not dealing with the "ugly" side of the fence. It seems illogical at first glance, but it comes out of simple courtesy." HAHAHA common common common.. So you approach your neighbour about replacing the old fence and attempting to split some of the costs for it's replacement or repair. They say now. WHY, oh WHY on earth would you want the uglier side out of "simple courtesy" to your neighbour so that they get the nice side?!? Now, if it's the fence that splits you from say the street, then yes, the nice side should go on the outside for the good old fashioned "curb appeal". But between properties? NO WAY! If i'm paying for it, and building it, I get the nice side! If it's a split cost, come up with a design that benefits both sides. 2) the idea that the "person who has the fence posts visible from their property is the owner of the fence" is also insane. So what happens with a well designed fence that has no "post side" aspect to it? a fence between two properties on the property line should in fact belong to both sides. 3) CLEARLY there are to many variables. I'm just glad i have sensible neighbours whom we work with on such issues to come up with fair ideas for everyone.. Before & After: Fence Facelift Flag this comment	6/11/12 2:21 PM
infact, most pallets aren't even treated anymore seeing as they often have very short lifespans. I've contacted 3 pallet makers in the area, and all of them say they cut the treatment out of their process to save money and avoid hazardous materials on their jobsites. lets not forget, this is a start to a good idea, it doesn't have to be done with pallets, it could be reclaimed from fencing, or an old deck, or ripped down framing lumber. The other thing is that the average person trying this would most likely be into wood working in the first place, and most likely has the ability to plane it down, or get a heavy duty sanding pad to smooth it out. The idea here, 13ft, is just that... an IDEA.. doesn't mean you have to run with it the way you see it, it's open to modifications! And just like sarahrae said, i'd much rather the beginning of an idea of how to reuse these things then tossing them in landfills.

sadly i think eBay these days is the best way to go. Even collectors shop on eBay knowing they can find rocking deals. Yes, place a reserve on it, but be realistic, and don't forget to make sure the bidder pays shipping. Sorry for your loss, i can't imagine the day i'll have to be doing the same thing.

and yet $650 is still way too much for such a plain simple box. DWR is supposed to stand for "Design Within Reach" It should be "Design Within Reach of Someone Else's Wallet" DWR Rotor Coffee Table - $650 San Francisco Scavenger \| Apartment Therapy San Francisco Flag this comment	2/3/10 12:50 PM

i can't see how this is going to be cost efficient. the part that throws me off a bit is "parts are melted into blocks and then sliced to create a lightweight textured tile" so you've recycled a part and then used large amounts of energy just to slice it into tiles? it's a really nice look, but doesn't seem very green other then the recycling portion. might as well be melting down coke cans and reusing those.

these are all WAY WAY overpriced. there's NOTHING in these that warrants a price tag in the hundreds of dollars... it's insane Apartment Therapy Chicago \| New from Seascape Lamps Flag this comment	5/28/09 7:35 PM
everyone needs to check out artificialowl.net then!! this however is amazing, if not given to the homeless (even if outdated, i doubt they care about that!) then it should be shredded up and used for things like blown insulation!

SUPER nice, but not worth a 1/4 of the price being asked for those. I don't understand how lighting is SO expensive for such simplistic styles. Apartment Therapy Boston \| Shady Tree Ceiling Lamps: By Nicolette Brunklaus Flag this comment	5/11/09 6:48 PM
