How to cover ugly walls for free (almost)

I'm tired of looking at my neighbor's ugly wall so I decided to cover it with the pallets and a few pine beams that I have. I didn't use any finish on the pallets because I like the weathered look. And it just get's better over time. You can find pallets almost everywhere for free and the only thing I needed to buy are the wall anchors and the screws. So I don't really care if I have to remake it in a couple of years.
Thank you very much for watching!

One of the nicest DIY videos I've seen. No incessant chatter, no irritating "music". Just the true sounds of work well done. I think I could even smell the sawdust. Thanks for a great video.I clicked on your channel to see your other videos and liked what I saw so I came back here to subscribe.

I thought the wall beautiful! You could see the layers of history right their! In many Irish villages and towns THIS is how the buildings look. You see the first layer built by the Viking influence covered up by other layers through the ages. You DID. A wonderful job, no question. And the wood will age. I just liked the story the rock and mortar had to tell.

Nice job ! Thanks from France ! My grandfather made a big barn door this way, some decades ago, then he painted it, with the old motor oil coming from the '63 Massey Ferguson model 30. He passed away since that time, but the door is almost intact. No worms will try to eat that wood, and the nails are more protected from the rust too. A useful way to recycle your (free) old motor oil.

Could have used some verbal instruction or narrative. The result looked very nice. I'm curious refacing (not sure if that's correct word) wall was an option. Certainly not an almost free choice.. I have a bitch of a time around my neck of the woods finding decent pallets that are free. Got lucky at this one boat shop then made the mistake of sharing that info. Lol
