Building Houses out of Pallets Janet Kuypers 5/12/12 I’ve heard that in poor places                         in South Africa They build houses out of extra pieces                         of scrap metal. But here in the Dominican Republic,                         I saw them building houses out of pallets. I thought for a second about                         artist paint pallets, and of course, I came back to                         these large wood pallets for hauling mass product from point A                         to point B, and all I could think was: Hmmm. Houses made out of                         pallets. Hmmm.
