Tool storage question

Hey, Big Brother is already listening to your cell phone. Since they control the phone, they probably turn it on to monitor you all the time anyway. Who cares about the Chinese bugs?

OK, insects then to be more precise, like termites. We got zebra mussels and asian carp infesting our waters from our friends across the sea but their other little buddies hide in pallet wood.

Sorry, @bing. I thought you were making a joke, and I wanted to have a little fun, too.

Yeah well I sorta was but it’s bad enough having infested pallets on loading docks but you don’t want to bring them into your house. It’s like St. Paul is infested with cockroaches downtown and they love to hide in the corrugations of cardboard boxes and lay eggs, yet people will take boxes from work home. They take them home in their cars.

So they stopped selling the dcon boxes of mouse kill, tried the new green squares in the box last year, mouse poop everywhere, so a new idea, some of the bait boxes and a lot of bounce everywhere we want to keep the mice out, heard it from a bud, it works.
I hear cities are being plagued by rats the size of cats, Will let you know in the spring, but evidently bounce, (nothing else) will keep the critters out, so I will post that for the next critter related car problem if it works.

I hear that pail of water works pretty good but you have to empty the dead mice once in a while. With Dcon they then to decompose or try to get out as they hemorrhage. With the pail they just drown but stick around.

Regular bed with everything packed underneath between bed and floor. If a little more room is needed 4 blocks or larger casters from Lowes for the bed legs should elevate it enough.

Roaches eat the glue on the cardboard boxes. My sister in law is from Texas, and they have roach avoidance down. No cardboard boxes in the house. They bring food home in cardboard boxes, transfer it to plastic bins, and dispose of the boxes immediately. It’s part of putting the groceries away.

Happened to me once upon a time 750sf.
Some went into the car trunk, the rest went into a small dedicated closet.
No days, there’s many more options to organize tools inside a closet thanks to Amazon & wall/door hangers, et al.
Then we built a small house on an acre or so = prebuilt storage shed moved to where ever I wanted $2000 for tools/etc.

Aint’t You a bit PTSD?. He only gave an example. He just showed an idea as how to solve his problem.

Looks like the vendor in question is in Europe so not likely to generate much business here but I like the looks of it.

Whatever, the post is gone.

Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to.

One warning: tools can easily aggregate to many hundreds of pounds. Very easily.
If you should use the top bunk to store tools, be certain that you don’t exceed the load rating of the bunk. The results of having hundreds of pounds of tools suddenly bury you in the middle of the night could be fatal.

Maybe a rolling tool chest is the perfect choice! You can find Garamer’s movable tool cabinet 7 Drawers Tool Chest with Wheels. It can store most of your hand tools and can be even can a side table in your living room. And it won’t be too big for your apartment.
