The $2.19 wood box WITH WHEELS

[babalu87]

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
