    This was at the dump yesterday. I had a crate idea to use it as a nugget bin. :doh: Gave it to my friend. approx. 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.5'
    Needs some minor repair and may beef it up a bit as the boards are on the thin side. IMG_5904.JPG

    Nice find!

    Any plastic pallets to get it off the ground?

    No plastic, but it'll go on either cement blocks/bricks or more than likely PT 4x4 sleepers. I built him a nice one cord bin for nuggets a couple Winters ago that he filled. We cleared a nice spot behind his shed. We'll place it next to that one. His other friend gives him random length wood and he gets lots of shorties.

    Hey BRAD. I pass a place every day on my way to work and they often have pretty nice crates for the taking. If you want me to keep it on my radar for you I can do that.

    Appreciate it, but after getting to wood storage I realized it wouldn't work for my needs (really limited room for one. You've seen what little room I have). Need a half cord size. I'm almost ready to give my friend the nuggets I have that need another bin. Probably enough to fill this one.

    I may be interested! About what size are they? Looking for something for holding small splits; 9-12”.

    Hey skier76

    only one small one on the way by today. I’ll keep an eye out if there’s anything worthy I’ll let you know.

    Did a repair job for a contractor friend. Had to buy a 4x8 sheet of 5/8" plywood for the job and only used 1/4 of it. When I dropped it off at his place he gave it to me even though I didn't want it as I rarely use that thickness and have nowhere to store a sheet that big. "Use it for your firewood" he suggested. On my way to storage it hits me its the perfect size to cover the bin of nuggets I just filled. Couple screws to hold it on and some synthetic roofing felt stapled on and I was good to go.
