Firewood sled

Winter is definitely upon us. We do most of our home heating with wood, which my husband cut, chopped and stacked during the summer. The wood shed it about 100 yards from the house. Not to big of a deal...until he has to hand carry the wood, in the snow/ice. He had to make about 10 trips, to fill up our wood rack in the house.  
We decided to buy a sled to fill with the idea we could stack wood on the sled and drag it to the house. 

I started shopping. Went to Walmart and the cheapest sled was $26.  Seriously...$26?!?!  Not only was it ridiculously expensive but it was a flimsy plastic and would not have been ideal. So instead...we bought a $10 oil drip pan, bent the front edge so it would not get stuck in snow, and used 4 screws to attach a tote to the pan, and added a rope. Now we have the BEST firewood sled. Thought I would share it. Hope it helps someone else.
