    If you have a neighborhood forum (facebook group, whatever) you could post to see if anyone else wants them? That's what I did and someone scooped it up immediately. Plus ours had nails that were difficult, so removing, burning, etc... not fun.

    My wife is a "we could use this somehow, someday" person whereas I'm a "get rid of it immediately, we can buy one in the future if we really need something" person.

      Oh yes… I love my wife, but she is a pack rat. She refuses to let anything go if it may be useful or “perfectly good”… We have a sofa in our basement that I don’t like, she doesn’t like, it really doesn’t work for us, but friends were moving and they were just going to throw it away and it’s only a year old and we need some type of seating…

        Speaking of sofas, was it you who posted about the pink-striped sofa that you were wanting to replace? Were you ever able to find something?

                        Actually, that’s not a horrible idea. I’m trying to figure out some outdoor storage options…

                          You're trying to force a use. Just get rid of them.

                          If not, I agree there are creative ways to use it, but again... I have such a visceral reaction to keeping stuff for the sake of keeping it. Maybe because my dad (and my wife too) do this far too often.

                          Although, funny story, the other day I asked my dad if he had any extra staple gun cartridges and he gave me some. The box was from the 1970s! LOL

                            I've seen woodworking channels on youtube create beautiful furniture out of old pallets.

                            Education is extremely important.

                                And the time, and the desire… Hmmm, spend hours deconstructing a pallet, sanding the wood, and turning into an end table that I don’t like, or take Finley to the park… or smoke a rack of ribs, or go to the fishing pond…
