(...) Well, I went back last nite and dug in my 1x2 bin to the very bottom where I had the last few stacks of 1x2s that I put together in 1998. I took some apart. Much to my dismay, some of them have cracks! Not just stretching but actual cracks on (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.storage)

I was browsing Costco yesterday, and found a set of 3 storage containers in the tool section. They are thin, only about 2-3" deep, but the key is, rather than having a bottom that has lots of dividers, it is a bottom/hinged top filled with tons of (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.storage)
