If there’s one thing we have a lot of, it’s wood. So, Ryan has been working on using some of that barn wood (and other upcycled materials) to create some outdoor covered storage for firewood and other “stuff” that didn’t make the cut in the barn. This wasn’t really top priority, but it’s nice to […]
Wall storage solutions in the garage
