Well, hello again Internet! Corinne here, and you're watching Corinne vs. Pin!
Today, I'm taking on a Pinterest legend! YES. We are finally trying the pallet swing. This thing has been suggested
thousands and thousands of times over the years, and I've always wanted to be a swinger, so let's get started shall we!
Okay, so as per usual, the first thing we need to do is gather some supplies
So I'm here at my local home improvement store to pick up some wood, some rope, and screws
Everyone's getting screwed in this episode.
It is a little rainy outside, pretty glad I chose today to straighten my hair - always planning
I might need a bigger boat...aha, this is what I need right here. Now we're talkin.
Two by fours, check! It's hard to drive this thing.
C: Hi!
Worker: Hey, how are you ?
C: Good! I was wondering where I could find some rope.
Worker: lets go to the rope department. C: that sounds like a plan.
Worker: how much of this do you need? C: I dunno I'm gonna figure it out for a minute. Worker: This is an model (???) yeah.
C: Yeah... Worker: Yeah this is, this is good stuff like uh... C: COOL
Worker: and so is the... C: Yeah, exactly
*clock ticking*
Worker: (unintelligible conversation) C:*uncomfortable laugh*
C: Yeah, thank you so much. Worker: yeah you're welcome. C: I appreciate it
Worker: you're more than welcome
*stares* I love talking to people
Rope, check! Really roped him into the project. I guess three inches, huh?
Alright!
Yes, it's super easy to hold an umbrella, vlog,
and roll this huge cart to the car
Hopefully this fits in the car
Okay, I got it to fit in the car, but my hair got wet so
It's okay. It's okay. We got all of our supplies, except for the pallets which I'm really looking forward to stealing
R: Really? Why am I always stuck doing this, stealing sh*t. I'm gonna check out these pallets behind this store over here
There's a bunch of them there, and nobody's really around...
I'm not sure whether or not this is illegal
here goes nothin.
This is, uh, what I think is the size that Corinne wanted right here, but there's only one of them.
jesus christ
Alright, I f*ckin hope this works. Alright, we got the pallets!
Let's get outta here before we get arrested!
Oh must be real nice. Yeah, you don't have to go out in the rain and make a pallet swing right now
It's supposed to be sunny today *whispering* but it's still all grey
Well, here we are! Build day!
So, originally, Ithought I was going to be doing something like this
But then I realised it was probably a little too big for the space I want to put it in
*That's what she said*
But I do really like the idea of using two by fours to reinforce the pallets because old pallets can be a little janky
Especially if they've been sitting in the rain for a few days. I'm also really liking what's going on in this picture
Right? Wouldn't this be so nice?! Just relaxing with your favorite book on a nice summer day on your new pallet swing.
The only thing that's wrong with this picture, is that she's not using Audible™. It's much more relaxing to
listen to Wuthering Heights with your eyes closed and your imagination taking over. Yes Heathcliff, yes!
I really do feel like summertime is for the classics like Wuthering Heights or Harry Potter
Which I've listened to seven times on Audible™
It's so good- Speaking of which, you can get a free month of Audible™ and a free book by following this link

to 500 - 500
Thanks for the hashtag spons Audible™. You know how much I love you-
Yes, go on and take a little pallet of my heart now, baby
Let's go make a pallet swing!
Alrighty, so based on the pallets Rob was able to find
I got these two cushions from Tarjay
And I think together they'll be the perfect size for curling up with a good audio book
I also got some decorative pillows. And they're supposed to be weather resistant
Which is a good thing because we live in a freaking rainforest. And since it is still raining
I'm gonna be doing the project here. On my brand-new, beautiful porch.
Yeah, I'd probably yell at Rob if he even attempted to do something like that
But we all know I'm a little bit more careful. So it should be fine.
Just try not to get sawdust all over the place. Whew, that does look pretty rickety.
Huh. This one's broken. You didn't even get a good one. This is the one here. I'm thinking right here
What do you think? {Yeah, that's great} Alright. {Good luck} What? Where are you going?
31 and a half by 47. 31 and a half by 47 times 3 and then
247 equals...
we got this, we got this
We got a lot of wood for this project, you know what I'm saying?
Now, we just have to measure and mark out our pieces. Measured and marked -now for the scary parts. Cutting these with a saw
Thanks for teaching us how Monica! Hopefully I remembered all your tips - so I can keep all of my tips
Hmm, so I've never used this saw before and I don't know how to put the blade in. Should probably consult the instructions 'cause I
don't want to cut my fingers off
*humming*, here we go
-setting up sawblade-
I got an expert to help me out here. {Good thing we're still getting work done to the house}
Oh, I was trying to find that! Thanks for your help, Brian. Is it cool if I still pretend that I did that?
You know what we say around here: Safety third!
Aghh it got in my eye!
Safety third!
Saw wood -that's nice. Will you clean all this up? {come on now} A clean DIYer is a happy DIYer, Rob. {what?} Rob.
*Drilling noises*
That is a lot more screws than I think you need to.
Because I don't want it to fall apart when I sit on it.
This is not an easy job.
{Oh, we getting a blister there, oh (sarcastic sad noises)}
*Drilling noises*
My hand feels a little crippled, but we did it! Quality craftswomanship right here.
{Yeah no looks nice}
I'm a woman of power tools.
Don't f*** with me, internet. {what's next?} Now all we have to do is put the rope in the holes. Tie some fancy knots
{Do you know how to... tie fancy knots?} Or just a regular knot? We're gonna double up our rope because
*Slaps butt twice*
Mama's got a big booty.
You're gonna need to do this to the ends of your rope, so you can get them through the hole.
Just gotta force it in, foRCE IT IN THE HOLE. {Oh that sounds a little rough}
You have to put it in this hole. {(mumbled) whoa, you're not supposed to put it in THAT hole}
(both chuckle a little)
We're just gonna take both of our ropes and tie a knot.
*Rope slaps the camera*
Sorry 'bout that. I didn't mean to slap you in the face. With my rope
*Corinne makes some struggling noises*
You have to make those noises, otherwise they won't work.
Aaaahh!
I'll just do another knot right here. Why (k)not, right? I think that's gonna be good
Solid. I need to be like a ship's captain or something {a sh*t captain} Ship. Ship.
You're the sh*t captain. {What's next?} What's next is that we hang this bitch up.
Well the Sun has come out.
(In a sing-song voice) The Sun will come out today
Bet your bottom dollar
That today, there'll be sunshine
(Normal voice) Hey! Hey hey! the rope's all wet and on the ground.
~cuuuute~
About to drill into this big deck
*Giggling*
*Drilling noises*
(weighty exhale, then whispered) That's some hard wood.
*Drilling noises*
{R: That's through!} C: (whispered) That's how you make a hole.
*Drilling noises*
Not be able to get this out
Who's peeing over there?
*Sounds of water in a drain spout*
Well obviously, I spoke too soon.
Our grass is green as heck though!
Get our pillows on there.
Just a little bit of pillow talk, heh heh.
Hey here, we go
augh, they're getting wet!
{Wow that looks awesome!} here's the final test... ready for it, I'm not nervous
I'm, I'm nervous about the knots.
(both laughing nervously, Rob makes some mostly unintelligible yelling that sounds kind of like oh goooOOOOOOOOD)
{R: Oh my goodness, (continues laughing)
{How we doing?} It's... definitely very swingy!!
This is very relaxing! (does not sound relaxed at all)
(mumbled) well, ah, you just have'ta...
{Are ya gonna sit on it?}
Here we GO! Oh, that is nice.
{Wow.} Just like the-- and then ya---
Just listen to Audible(TM) all day.
Oh yeah, that's the stuff right there
Oh yeah, here we go.
This is a good meditation spot! {Oh, yeah, no, that's like you're like you're suspended floating in air.}
(Corinne makes an "ommm" noise)
Ooooooooooooooooh my god, this is comfortable
Oooooh em gee I did really good on this project.
You could go, but I'mma stay right here. Seriously, though
