Storing Long Materials
|
Put those joist spaces to use with this simple storage idea. Fasten eye screws to the joists and then cut lengths of chain to keep odd lengths of trim and pipe out of the way but easy to find. Open one side of the eye screw with a pliers to slip the chain in place. Make the chain a bit longer for future expansion.
Odds-and-ends storage
Fill a sturdy cardboard box with sawed-off shipping tubes or scraps of larger PVC pipe. Then use it to store and organize all those short pieces of molding, pipe and dowels.
Lattice rack
Plastic lattice works well in the garage for storing long lengths of miscellaneous pipe, trim, flashing and conduit. Just cut matching pieces, then screw 2x4 cleats to the ceiling and screw the lattice to the wall studs and cleats.

Now you can quickly find those oddball leftovers instead of going to the hardware store and buying yet another piece.
