middleborough, ma.
Finally decided that I needed a wood box. Lugging fish totes around is butt ass and they didnt hold much wood.

I have installed hardwood floors in every room but the kitchen/baths and living room so I had some white oak left over just hanging around in the basement.
I start piecing it together and it looks like I may be close so I lay it all out and I will have enough. Had to sister up the places where the tongue/groove was messed up with pieces cut from pallets. The bottom was nice clean planks from cribbing a machine was shipped on.

I had to break down and buy the 2X3's for the corners so that was the $2.19 cost. Glue, nails and screws I dont count as I have plenty of that stuff in the basement work shop.

Oh, the wheels. I had those on the generator but since I took them off to put REAL tires on it they were just laying around ;)

Wheel it to the front door and load it, wheel it back. It holds two HEALTHY wheelbarrow loads.
Now
Its Christmas time so it goes to the other side near a window to make room for the Christmas tree, lo and behold I can load from the window so I dont have to use the front door :)

Now that's one good looking wood box. I'll bet it burns a hell of a lot better than a rubbermade tote if you run out of wood ;-)
 
Update:

Now its under the window and I can load it from outside, no dirty carpet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
