I have a stack of 2x4's sitting underneath the stairs in my basement. I keep thinking that one day I will use them. Perhaps now that I have discovered another 10 things you can build with 2x4s, that pile will disappear! I found or rather; I gained my pile of 2x4's while renovating my basement. They came from a wall that I removed. (Don't worry it wasn't a support wall. And yes, I am absolutely sure!) I hate to throw out perfectly good wood and have been waiting for just the right inspiration. I think I may have found it!
