Our first ever homemade bins!

I'm reminded of the saying about baking: "Why buy a storebought pie when you can spend 5 hours making one at home that's half as good and three times the cost?"

But we decided the journey would be fun, and it was! We wanted it to have our favorite features of the builds we've seen here: a front that opens for easier turning, and a lid to keep critters out.

We've been fighting to keep our big blue plastic bin from overflowing for months at our new place. Now it all looks so tiny!
