92 pallets, 1.09 each, $100.28. I called it at $100! Makes me feel like a math bad a$$!

I'd also love to be in the OP's shoes... That's a lot of presumably dry wood.
 
And the I realize that it was 98 pallets not 92. I'll sulk away in mathematical shame. Sigh.

Still jealous.

I wonder how much wood it would stack out too if I decided to cut them all up for the stove.
 
I would not stack so close to the house, they will go up fast if someone lights them up on you.
 
I burned those my first season mixed with not quite seasoned wood. If anyone needs pallets in CT near Danbury just like those I have a lot at work we need to get rid of. A bunch of oak 8ft and misc other sizes.

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you ninety eight foot oak pallets.

I'm effing tired. Been up since 4am..... I'm an idiot.

Comes out to $1.09 per pallet with my uhaul rental and the gas I had to put in the tank.

Edit - loading and unloading a truck full of oak pallets, twice, sucks..... When you're already exhausted....

I snagged some 3.5' x 8' seriously HD Oak pallets from work recently...I'm 6'4" 250 # and it was a struggle to get these things into the truck by myself, was gonna burn 'em but now I'm thinking a "reclaimed" wood furniture project

Don't forget to paint it white, and you might as well build an arbor to go with it. And a gate to match. Then a potting bench, and garden shed. You might even be left with a few scraps to burn. ;)

I busted pallets for firewood just one time for a couple of days. And decided real fast that busting trees was easier.
 
I tried to rip apart a few hardwood pallets and gave up real fast. They had used 3" nails in the air guns and the end would break off on most of them before the whole nail would pull out. It was easier to use a circular saw and cut off the slats and leave the nail filled 2x4's for the bush fires. Who the h*ll would put 3" nails into a pallet:mad::mad::mad:
 
Yeah a circular saw makes quick work of them, then cut each stringer in half, bam! As long as you don't want to use the ashes for ice melting or the garden...the stove doesn't care 'bout the nails
 
I break them up with a pallet fork, and use a chop saw with a cheap carbide tip blade, goes right through a nail if you hit one.
