Building a Website and a Compost Pile, plus Adventures in Scrounging

Monday is Laundry Day at my house.  Laundry Day includes a fair bit of down time between loads that are coming out of the dryer.  I usually spend this time catching up with bills or emails, planning the week, doing some cooking, or just recovering from the mild case of Post Traumatic Stress I have from the weekend.
This Laundry Day finds me reading code instructions from the lap top that is propped up on the washer while folding laundry.  I ask myself, which is more difficult-- building a website or building a compost pile?
I've already got a start on both projects and both have a few obstacles already.
The website is tough.  I am not a tech-savvy person.  I am struggling with differentiating backgrounds and settings between pages.  I hit the help button and was astounded at the feat before me.  Makes the compost pile job look infinitely more easy.
And I do have a start on that pile.  I have a plan.  I need a truck.  I need some wood posts.
Since parting with my beloved minivan, I have discovered the limitations of scrounging with a sedan.  No 8 foot posts for me this afternoon.  I did score a choice find, a wood pallet that has been lying in a parking lot for the better part of a year.  Getting a pallet into the trunk of a Nissan Maxima is no simple job, but I managed.  Dealing with this pallet before dinner is probably more important that spending my laundry down time on website design.
The key is to take apart the pallet before my husband realizes that I have collected another piece of junk from the side of the road.
FYI:  I am a recovering hoarder.  I am especially susceptible to "junk" on boulevards and in FREE piles.
Note:  I will allow an exception to the "No Drive By Acquisitions" rule if I have a specific purpose for a diamond in the rough like a wood pallet and that project is at hand.  In this case, dismantled, a wood pallet will provide sturdy sides for my compost bin design.  Heck, I saw an entire garage built of pallets in Carbondale, IL once.  Pallets are handy things.
So, I think I'll have a go at that pallet with a pry bar and figure out how to document its use later.
