TIPS FOR STORAGE AND ORGANIZATION
1
 STORE SANDING DISKS AND MORE
  Since they're highly resistant to corrosion, aluminum pie pans are
especially well suited for storing sanding disks, hacksaw blades,
and other hardware accessories in your workshop.  Cut a pan in
half and attach it (with staples or duct tape around the edges)
open side up to a pegboard.
2
 HANG GLUE AND CAULK TUBES
  Got an ungainly heap of glue and caulk tubes on your
workbench?  Cut a strip of adhesive or duct tape several inches
long and fold it over the bottom of each tube, leaving a flap at the
end.  Punch a hole in the flap with a paper hole punch and hang
the tube on a nail or hook.
3
 ORGANIZE YOUR STUFF
  Don't toss out the empty baby wipe containers.  These sturdy
plastic boxes are incredibly useful for storing all sorts of items.  
And the rectangular ones are stackable.  Give the containers a
good washing and let them dry thoroughly, then fill them small
tools.  Label the contents with a marker on masking tape.
4
 HOLD WORKSHOP TOWELS OR RAGS
  A used baby wipes container can be a welcome addition in the
workshop for storing rags nd paper towels-and to keep a steady
supply on hand as needed.  You can easily keep a full roll of
detached paper towels or six or seven good-sized rags in each
container.
5
 FASHION A STRING DISPENSER OR SCREWDRIVER HOLDER
USING A BERRY BASKET
  Mount an inverted berry basket on your workshop's pegboard
and use it to hold and organize your screwdrivers; they'll fit neatly
between the slats.
6
 USE BOTTLES AS A WORKSHOP ORGANIZER
  Bring some organization to your workshop with a few 1- or
1/2-gallon (3.7 or 2 liter) jugs.  Cut out a section near the top of
each jug on the side opposite the handle.  Then use the
containers to store and sort all the small items that seem to "slip
through the cracks" of your workbench.  The handle makes it
easy to carry a jug to your worksite.
7
 USE CANDY TINS FOR STORING WORKSHOP ACCESSORIES
OR CAR FUSES
  Candy tins are great for storing brads, glazing points, setscrews,
lock washers, and other small items that might otherwise clutter
up your workshop.  As for car fuses; you can store them in a
candy tin and put in the glove box.
8
 MAKE A TOOL TOTE WITH A CAN
  Use empty frozen juice cans to transform the deep, wide pockets
of a nail pouch into a convenient tote for wrenches, pliers, and
screwdrivers.  Make sure to remove the bottom of the can as well
as the top.  Glue or tape the cylinders together to keep them from
shifting around, and slip them into the pouches to create dividers.
9
 USING CARDBOARD BOXES TO ORGANIZE YOUR
WORKSHOP
  A sectioned wine or liquor carton is a great place to store dowels,
moldings, furring strips, weather stripping, and metal rods.  You
can also use them to store your garden tools.
10
 USING CARDBOARD FOR A DRIP PAN TO HELP THE
MECHANIC
  When you have a piece of equipment that is leaking oil; then
place a large piece of cardboard under the engine or piece of
equipment where it is leaking overnight until you can get it to the
mechanic and take the cardboard with you to show the mechanic.  
This will help the mechanic identify the problem.
   
A TIP FROM SERVICEMAGIC  

Spray them with white vinegar.
We finally found a use for that stray bottle of white vinegar under the sink.
By summer's end, you're sick of fighting with the weeds. Rage builds as you see them
spring up a week after you slipped a disc in your back pulling them.
Just calm down, count backwards from 10, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar, and get to
spritzing. Keep in mind that this will kill any surrounding grass, too. So don't go too nuts.
This is a great trick for weeds that pop up in the cracks of concrete or between brick
pavers, since you won't run the risk of hurting the grass you actually want to grow.
But NEVER, under any circumstances, use apple vinegar. We don't know what will
happen, but it can't be good.
AIR CONDITIONING TIPS TO KEEP COOL

Change or clean your air conditioning filter regularly, especially throughout the
summer, to make sure it's running at full pace. This will make your home cooler, and
will save on energy bills since your unit won't have to work so hard to get cold air out.
Also make sure window units and your unit outdoor aren't blocked by any leaves,
vines, or other kind of debris.
