    Never have I ever been so excited to see a video… Awesome! Perhaps we can start doing a fundraiser to cover dumpster fees? What say the UA-cam community? Let's rally together and cover the cost of a couple of dumpsters for this awesome channel.
    As far as the shattered ceramics, maybe you can bust up a bunch of pieces so that they're sort of flat and then make a nice countertop out of them using epoxy?

    My pallet advice: keep the hardwood ones. They're much heavier and usually constructed more carefully.
    More durable for your moving needs and a better source for wood if you need some.
    Good luck and welcome back!

    I admire your commitment to recycle as much as you can - and to realize any profits you can from auction sales - but if this project is causing you actual anxiety on a daily basis, it is within your grasp to resolve that. Rent a dumpster until you have cleared the place out. Sometimes we adjust our goals and plans to what is actually possible. No one will judge.

    Family is important no need to be sorry for us not getting video content. I told my son when he was cleaning out his junk filled shop. The most valuable thing you have in here is square footage. It allowed him to scrap some metal he was hanging onto. In no time he was doing with his shop that matched his plans. And pallet wood is often number 2 grade or even number 3. And unless it is used for international shipping they are often not kiln dried. I always recommend buying sawmill lumber and letting it dry in air conditioned space. It will be 8% before you know it.

    It's kind of amazing that you're tackling this entire job by yourself. Not sure how many square feet that building is, but I'd estimate at least 5K to 10K square feet. That's kind of a lot for one person. But you seem very motivated! Just glancing at it, I'd say you have at least 500 to 1,000 hours worth of work just getting the place cleaned up, i.e. getting rid of everything you don't want and sweeping the floor.
