Keep it up and like other have said look for a cheap kiddie trailer and you will need the ratcheting straps keep them with your bike at all times so you can strap stuff easily to your bike or to the trailer. Your brother will probably want to borrow your straps when he needs to haul something in/on his vehicle. =) I hauled heavy old 3 bicycles in my kiddie trailer. Worked great. If you are really handy you could build a trailer, but I would just buy a used one its easier. I paid $5 for mine but I was a bit lucky. I paid $10 for the crappy one I had before it at a garage sale.
