(...) Yeah, spread-out space is important. But it doesn't have to be fancy. Even if one has a flip-down table-top, it'd a big help. My Dad built a train table like that - it flipped up against the wall when not in use. I've seen sewing tables like (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) For transient storage I use the "disposable" food storage containers. They have round bottoms and cost less than 50 cents each. Not suitable for long life but work fine for me. Way better than ziplocks (which are quite a bit cheaper) because (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) A 2x4 is large and pointy, compared to drain pipes (a lot of which are 1.5" or 2" I.D. and that's before grease/hair etc narrow them, so it depends on how long and or twisty the run is.

(...) I've had a few small parts go down the drain (bummer). I've gotten a lot more careful about washing. I suspect the brick will just wash on through unless your pipes are close to clogged. Frank (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)
