where would i be able to find some plans on building a small compost bin
that would survive not only the winter but also rodents and insects once
spring comes? T

Scroll around, there are 4/5 plans to choose from.

Aside: If you choose the pallet plan be warned that after awhile
it becomes almost impossible to turn the pike. You might want
to build two so you can toss the pike back-and-forth.
