to help organize in the RubberMaid box. Sweetie likes Tide liquid that now comes in hugmogo 2.6 gallon jugs. Bright orange. She saves the empties for me. Cut the tops off and they will nestle nicely inside of the RubberMaid chest. Put your stuff inside of each, keeps them from rolling around and catagorize stuff. Smaller milk jugs also have their tops cut off and nestle inside of these for smaller stuff. When they crack or break, there's always a new one in the pipeline.
Have had a water jug or bottle break and leak. Days, months later find paper stuff has molded into a sinky mess. Put one moth ball in there and it'll keep any mold in check. Also, with the plastic jugs, it keeps the water to one jug or floats the other jugs.
When the "new" set of radiator hoses goes in and the "old" goes in as spares, the "old, old" set is used to rebuild my flushing kit (make up sets for buddies as buddy gifts/favors...I'll write up seperate as a couple of emails have requested details).
Another nifty thing saw in China trip last year and want to copy. When the tour folks have your luggage or back packs at the door and you are inside shopping/eating/etc, it's pretty hard to watch a few dozen of them. They have a neting that they throw over and pull the bottom to surround. Only have to watch the neting to see if anyone is reaching through or cutting. On our trips or for my Vball tourney team, we leave our bags out next tot he gym while playing. One of these nets would be a great thing to have. Alrady have the cable crimper and only need to find a nice net and storage bag.
