Dear all:
esp. a shout out to Ross2k, markus Jayne, JM, Jaymarting104, UF_gator, Rplank, JoshJungle, and the dude breeding BP's in Blackwood, Virginia (your name escapes me, but I think it starts with a P something).
I am already just about done with my rack. I bought the wood this early morning and I spent $16.87 on the wood. I picked the frugal man's approach.
Lowes cuts wood for you if you buy their wood. I bought a big piece of plywood and had them cut it into: six pieces of 16" x 24" and two pieces of 24" X 48". If you draw it out, you can see that all eight pieces can come out of one sheet of 96" x 48" plywood.
The six pieces are the shelves. The two larger pieces are the sides. With six pieces, I have room for five tubs (28 qt sterlite). If I added two more shelf pieces, then I can have up to seven tubs in my rack. Later, when I get more BPs, I will be adding more shelves.
It only took me a few minutes to assemble. I think the included pictures will illustrate waht I did.
All that is left for me to do is do the back side and add the heat tape.  I am pretty excited. I feel like a frugal handy man! I did it all for just a few dollars! The wood and screws came to only under $20!
cheers.
Thx all for all the help.
