Where do y'all live that you can store ABS in your attic? If I tried
that here, all I would have at the end of the summer would be a pile of
multi-colored goo. Heck, it gets hotter outside than the recommended
40C. The attic probably gets up to 50C or higher. (Not to mention our
cars, in which, every year, several Texans broil their children...)
And, because Houston is only 55 feet above sea level with a high water
table, we don't have basements. (Well, a few houses have them, but
most don't, and I don't personally know anyone who does.)
So we TxFOLs make do with closets.
