Getting organized.

[Catt57]

So over time I have accumulated so many spare parts that I keep losing track of them. I finally decided to figure out a way to keep them organized, easily stored and accessible, and easily moved around.

So I went shopping on Amazon. $15 and 3 days later I have this.

Nice. $15 eh? I may have to do this as well but I need a little bigger box.

I generally use scotch tape or clear packing tape, and write on it with a felt tipped pen. In my experience, it usually removes easier than paper labels after a few years (when you decide to put something else in that compartment).

Just a thought.

That's what the little ziplock bags are for.

I went with this size because it fits under the bed. :-)

Ha! If things get out of hand, you can always get a bunk bed...

Just a thought, but I like to use prescription bottles for storing lots of stuff. Screws, cables, chargers, everything. Peel off the Rx label and slap on a mailing label. Or leave the label on and put a new one over it. Don't have to worry about bags ripping or the writing wearing off.

And you dang sure don't have to worry about the lids popping off. Seems the older I get the harder it is to open those suckers up.

If you turn the tops upside down...it is no longer child resistant. Most of us don't realize that the caps usually have a thread on them. Or, you can hook two of the same size together.
