• Air Freshener - Fbreeze is best. I had a roommate that used axe body spray as air freshener. Fuck him.
  
• Microwave + Mini fridge - It's not fine dining, but super handy to have for late night snacks or when you just can't/don't want to make it to the food court
  
• Beds on lofts and a couch/loveseat - we had a couch in our room, which made us a popular hang out spot. With the beds up high there was room underneath for other stuff (couch on one side, TV, fridge, microwave and whatnot on the other)
  
• My freshman year, rope lights were very popular. They can be cheap mood lighting.
  
• Sticky Hooks - many colleges will only let you use these to hang things. Also, if you want to hang a poster you will want poster hangers
  
  EDIT: Typo

Here are some things I do:

• Hang everything up to air out after wearing it.
  
• If possible (if you have a sunny spot in your house), hang them in the sun. Sunlight can kill some of the bacteria that causes odors.
  
• In the winter, I always wear a short- or long-sleeve tee (not a sleeveless/tank top) under my sweaters to protect the armpits. I happily wear my sweaters anywhere between 6-12 times between washes.
  
• I wear most of my jeans/pants until they start to smell. Usually also somewhere between 6-12 wears.
  
• When you do wash your more delicate items, hand-wash them if you can. The washing machine (even on the delicate cycle) can be harsh on fibers.
  
  Also, I saw someone on here mention a few days ago that washing jeans or other harsher fabrics in the same load as more delicate fabrics can be a bad idea, because the harsher fabrics act like sandpaper to the more delicate fabrics, roughing them up during the cycle. Separating your loads with this in mind, and using mesh/lingerie bags for more delicate fabrics (not just lingerie), is a good idea, too.
  
  I'm looking forward to hearing other folks' tips!

College student here, used to shitty dorm closets: If you don't mind having to iron things at the change of seasons, I like to keep off-season clothes and things I don't wear much in my suitcase. The suitcase is just sitting there taking up space anyway, and by packing it well (rolling!! roll as much as you can!!! I only fold heavy knits and sweaters) you can fit a lot into a simple carry-on. Multi-pants hangers and multi-skirt hangers are really useful for maximizing closet space, but I personally don't like multi-shirt hangers and find them incredibly inconvenient. I keep all of my jackets on an over-the-door hanger like this and use the basket (mine only has one) to hold my clutch, spare wallet, dry umbrellas, and sunglasses. On the other side of the door I have a shoe organizer that can also hold scarves and gloves and such. Honestly, seeing what college students are doing could be really good inspo for you since we live in tiny spaces with almost no closet and find a way to make it work.

rack is super modular and customizable and light, super would recommend for space and budget peeps who spent all their money on shoes instead

Have you tried wearing something under your work tops? That way you won't have to wash them after every wear.

Also, you don't have to lie them "flat" to dry. You don't want to hang them because the weight will cause odd stretching but you can lie one over a chair, or on a rack like this.

But if you're going to spend money on dry cleaning, why not just buy some more tops instead? And check this time to make sure they hang be hung to dry or can be put in a dryer.

I'm a woman, but I am the go-to for my male friends to ask fashion advice.

First step is to find a cut of jeans that fits you well. The initial hunt is a pain, but I promise it will be worth it. Do not settle. Take a woman to help you find the pair that works the best (or even a guy with good fashion sense). Don't be afraid to spend a little more because quality denim lasts a really long time. Once you find a pair of jeans that work there is a really good chance that the same cut will come in different colors. Don't get too crazy with the washes. Get some staple colors, like dark denim or black. You can wear these throughout the week and nobody will be the wiser. You can't do that with some crazy acid wash or boldly stitched jeans. Try not to wash them too often. Lots of people pop their denim in the freezer to "wash" them. This helps preserve the color, and increases the life of your jeans. Never dry them in the dryer. If you are on a tight budget, go to Sears/Kohls/JC Penny and find a cut of Levis that look good on you. You can also go to Nordstrom Rack and find great deals as well.

Okay, next step. Find some t-shirts that fit well. Again, there are so many different types of cuts for shirts. Some are long, some are slim, some look fine when it's on the hanger, but look like a tent when you put it on. Don't be afraid of color. Lots of guys just opt for black but color is nice too. To the guys who wear black shirts all the time, do an experiment. Where a nice burgundy or heathered blue shirt one day. I guarantee you will get compliments. Target actually sells really nice plain crew cut or v-neck shirts under their Mossimo line. They come in great colors and fit well. I think they are about $10, which is really good. If you are nearing 30 I would shy away from graphic tees. They are fine if you are at a bbq with friends, but not for a date. I also recommend you not machine dry your shirts. I have something like THIS and it works very well. Whatever shirts your decide on, don't think that they will look nice forever. I tend to swap my tees out once they look beat. Air drying prolongs the color, but it can only go so far. If a shirt is too faded or stretched, it goes to gym duty. I then replace it with a new one. I think I average a new shirt every month or two at about $10-20.

Now that we have t-shirts covered, you should also get other tops. Keep it simple (this is where the mannequin can help you find combinations that work and give you ideas). You can find a nice button up or two, and even a light jacket or sweater. Things that are more accessory than full blown coat. A quality hoodie can even fit the bill, so long as it isn't too bulky.

Shoes... this is really important and often overlooked. Your shoes should match the cut of your jeans. If you find a slimmer cut, you don't want to get really bulky shoes. It will make you look like a little kid. Wear slimmer shoes, like some classic Vans or Converse. You can even dress things up. Wear your jeans with some nice leather shoes (again Nordstrom Rack is awesome). Just look how good Daniel Craig looks here. You can even have some fun by adding a little color. The main takeaway is that you don't have to wear your old, busted up DCs that you had in college. Branch out of your comfort zone and try some boots or wing tips. You also don't have to spend a ton of money if you shop right.

So, now that you have revamped your look a little, you need to address your hair and face. You don't have to get a hair cut every other day, but you should really try to keep everything looking neat and in place. You shouldn't have your back hairline growing down your neck and into your collar. It just looks like you are lazy. If you can, get a personal trimmer/groomer and figure out how to trim it yourself. Nose hair... nobody likes to see it. I was talking to a friend this weekend and his nose hair was showing full force. Get a pair of little scissors for less than $5. Same goes for eyebrows. I don't mean wax or pluck, but simply trim with they look like this. Also... Moisturize! People, men and women, tend to look old if they are not properly hydrated. Moisturizing is a combination of drinking water and wearing a good face cream. I like Kiehls, but that is a little pricey. You can also get some quality stuff at Walmart or Target. These little things make a guy look so much better imho.

You need laundry bags like this. I put any clothes that have long strings in them when I wash clothes and the tangle problem has been completely eliminated. Aprons even get clean inside the bigger size ones.

Hang dry them instead of using the drier.

If you don't have a lot of space, use your shower curtain rod or buy a foldable clothes rack (AmazonBasics Foldable Drying Rack - White )

Also, I'm fairly certain that you posted this in the wrong subreddit.

Best of luck

Command Large Utility Hook, White, 3-Hooks, 6-Strips (17003-3ES) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M3V8XI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.8oPzbCRT2VF5

Hang it up with command strip refills. They work great, I use them to hang up tons of stuff!

Cull the toys, heavily. They are young and do not play with more than 1 or 2 things at a time anyway. This also gives you a chance to decide what you really WANT for them to play with. What do they need right now for development? I tend to avoid stuffed animals. They take up too much space - like one or two "favorites" like their bedtime bear and a friend for the bear. The loud plastic shit that is just a hulking piece of noise? Let it go.

For the 3-year-old, based on developmental milestones for this age I would choose:

• A handful of small [hand size] toys (like the Little People size/style...not the big playsets just a few people/cars/animals so they can start to make up their own stories).
  
• Something that encourages color and shape recognition, like shape shorters, puzzles, or just a few different colored balls or bean bags for throwing (b/c throwing is a thing for this age).
  
• Something that encourages number counting and recognition...like the little pieces that connect or have numbers on them and you sort them...even alphabet and number blocks or magnets.
  
• Lots of identifying stuff (like picture and board books that explain "the cow goes moo" "the duck is yellow").
  
  That's really it. Get it all to fit in one box/bin. I'm pretty liberal with books, though...there should always be plenty.
  
  For a 10-month-old:
  
  
• Things too big to swallow, but small enough to hold in the hand.
  
• Things that are safe to put into the mouth (can be washed).
  
• Things that make noise (beans in a water bottle could work, it doesn't have to be fancy).
  
• Things that encourage trying to move (maybe something small with wheels she can crawl after if it gets pushed
  
  My kids' toys before they were about 5 could all fit in one small box.
  
  For other storage and organization:
  
  
• Over the door shoe rack - Put one of these on every door. The lowest row - put little things to occupy the baby so she can get in there without causing trouble. Store a few of her toys down there. The upper few rows are for mom and dad. Supplies that need to be available but out of the reach of kids. Things that need to be in that room - but you don't really want "out". Put a row for the older kid, too, so they can better clean up. This also helps you get things up off the floor when you need to do a quick clean. "Everything in its place" is really just about making sure you can clear the floor and surfaces quickly. Then maybe at night, you can go through the organizer and put things into the rooms where they belong or whatever. But at least it is off the floor, off the table, whatever the case is - and the pockets are clear so you can check them real quick if you're missing something.
  
• More over the door stuff: towel rack and towel hooks - I hang up clothes all the time (and towels, but in the bathroom). The shirt they wore for 20 minutes before school but changed last minute, their pajamas, the smock they're SUPPOSED to wear when they paint but you can never find it, jackets, etc, whatever. For the hooks (I also install individual hooks in various places around the house - like down low near the front door so kids can put up their own crap) you can leave backpacks, hats, or put a bag to collect things like stray socks & mittens.
  
  I also use a spare laundry basket to collect things so I can put them away later. The goal is just to get things off the floor and surfaces...and worry about putting it away later.
  
  I vacuum my hard floors - it's just easier than sweeping. I intentionally bought a vacuum that can do carpets and hardwood. I have also taken the hose and sucked up crumbs from the table.

Ha! Joke's on you. I don't have one. :( I'm planning on getting this soon.

Or these for just $3.88

Get a mesh garment bag! Throw all your undies in there and then when she's ready to do the laundry you can chuck the whole bag in. It's great for socks too, you never lose one and end up with mismatches!

Put all your gpu’s on here https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00336TY0K/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519650163&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=shoe+rack&dpPl=1&dpID=415PANUlISL&ref=plSrch
It’s very economical and you don’t have to pay overpriced miner prices!

Pack light. Also learn to make a skivvy roll it saves a lot of space and makes packing so much easier. You can stuff your stuff like a toothbrush, razor deodorant etc in them. My usual rule of thumb for skivvies/undershirts & underwear is 7-10 days on the longer voyages. For you, I'd pack 4 to 5. Including the pair that you're wearing that's enough to cover ~50% of the voyage and you'll most likely have the ability to wash clothes onboard. If not wearing a pair for another day probably won't kill you. I also usually bring medicine in labeled plastic bags. Stuff like cold and flu medicine, painkillers and headache medicine (non-narcotic), anti diaherria medicine, seasickness pills, allergy medication, and multivitamins. I write the name of the medicine, its purpose, and the dosage on a plastic bag. When I'm done I toss them in a skivvy roll and roll them up. Bring 2 pairs of "street clothes" make the pants different (ie one jeans, the other khaki or shorts etc) you'll be wearing these around the ship when you're not working or when you're off the ship, I usually also pack some gym shorts to lounge around the ship in or workout. Bring a towel, earplugs, and a sleeping mask. Cigarettes if you smoke.

I'd bring a flashlight (one with a clip that you can put on a hat), knife, multitool, utilikey, one to two pairs of decent workboots, spare batteries, and maybe a magnetic worklight as far as work stuff goes. Coveralls if your ship doesn't provide them. Oh and a small notebook that can fit in your pocket and 2 decent pens. A watch with a barometer is a huge plus. Bandanas/Handkerchiefs are really useful as well.

As for entertainment stuff I always bring my kindle loaded with books. You can checkout /r/FreeEbooks for free books or you can always acquire some #Bookz on the undernet. If you had a switch I'd bring it. I usually bring a laptop that has all my movies and games on it. You can buy a little strip of slip resistant matting that you can place under your laptop. I've only had seas that rough once where I'd ever really need it, but better safe than sorry. A harddrive is good too, at least 1 TB.

On miscellaneous things I bring, I bring a closet shoe organizer on board like the one linked. I use that to organize a lot of my clothes and save space. I used a sharpie to mark out spots for stuff like socks, underwear, etc. But you can always fit a skivvy roll in there. I usually use the upper row for stuff like my EDC, and my medicine storage so the door doesn't hit the top. I also might bring a USB fan, paracord, and a plugin USB hub. I'll use the paracord to suspend the fan next to my face to blow on me. I'll also use it to adjust the pocket organizer.

Some packing tips are to wear your boots to the ship, sneakers are much easier to pack.

Since this is an internship I'll assume you want to be hired on later. Ask tons of questions, work hard, be sociable and likeable, and never be late. I know plenty of hardworking guys everybody hates because they're dickbags. When I first started I was a little lazy and incompetent but everybody liked me because I was sociable and not a dick and at least tried. You can be lazy, or a dick, not both.

Edit: QoL stuff is pretty nice, stuff such as a blanket, hydro flask, or seasoning is pretty nice to have sometimes. During a particularly cold voyage I had a thick heavy fuzzy blanket which was awesome. Having ice cold water when you're in a 160 degree engine room can be pretty nice. Some lawry's seasoning salt when your cook sucks is always welcomed.

Edit 2: SUNGLASSES. PACK A PAIR OF POLARIZED SUNGLASSES. The reflection off the water can be pretty intense sometimes.

You can get some mesh lingerie bags kind of like this and just run it through in that. It still has enough space to jiggle around and get clean, but not so much that it gets tangled up in itself or other things. All of my everyday ones I wash like this, then hang dry. Air drying helps with wrinkles (though not a concern with crinkle hijabs, I guess), and they dry really fast. I usually just leave them over the back of the sofa overnight.

Target or Amazon

Looks like this one, I have 3 of 'em stacked up

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00336TY0K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have 4 of these. Easy to install and work great. Just follow the directions carefully - ensure the wall is clean before applying.

I actually don’t like to have a stash for knitting since I like to buy yarn for specific projects (with a few exceptions). I have been gifted some yarn and have some left over for projects but once my Christmas knitting is done, the stash will
mostly be gone! It currently all fits into two drawers of these plastic carts right now with all my needles as well.

Here is a site/plugin that tracks Amazon prices over time, looking at that specific item: https://thetracktor.com//detail/B006SOJFDA/us/

The price has always been between $8 and $10. I like using stuff like this to determine if the price is actually marked down, rather than fake crossed-out markups.

Hey there,

Just wanted to say that I used to wash my bras by hand but lately have been using another method since it saves me time and also maintains the integrity of my bras. What I do is buy a bra bag. The important thing is not to buy a "garment" bag but rather this. It helps a lot with keeping the shape of the bras. I wash my bras in my washing machine in the "Gentle" cycle and make sure they're only being washed with other delicate clothing. I don't overwhelm the machine with any other heavier pieces of clothes. I'll use whichever detergent I have on hand. Once the bras are finished washing, I take them out from the bag and let them air dry. This method lets me get the agitation that I need to remove the deodorant build up and makes the bras feel a hell of a lot cleaner. Air drying allows them to keep their good shape!

Let me know if you try this and how it works out for you.

I destroyed many a bra that way until I discovered lingerie bags.

I have a tackle box for all my notions, I use a Sterilite container for all my fabric, this thing for my thread, and a Sterilite drawer cart for all my other crafting supplies. I'm getting into crocheting so I got this cart for all that stuff. I keep everything in my closet for easy access.

I've replaced my old heavier furniture with light furniture that can be folded up. Clothes rack instead of an armoire or dresser, and a long folding table instead of a desk.

This is my "desk": https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Resin-Folding-Table-Black/dp/B017W26Q9C/ref=sr_1_2?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1484443955&sr=1-2&refinements=p_n_feature_twenty_browse-bin%3A3254098011

and the rack I found: https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6779-3044-Double-Freestanding-68-Inch/dp/B002DGM4IU/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1484444173&sr=1-4&keywords=clothes+rack

So, I'm moving out (27. First time ever. It's complicated.) and might be taking a room (10*11 ft' maybe?) that doesn't have a closet. Any recommendations on sturdy, functional clothing racks? I started eyeing this one and this last night


Any other feedback to economizing space and best arranging is also more than welcome!

I have moved countries 4 times now. What I usually do is sell off as much as I can to have money to buy the basics in a new country/state.

Like that I save on cost of transporting furniture and so on and instead invest that into things like a sofa bed and table, kitchen stuff.

It’s not easy but it avoids unnecessary costs.

Basics I try to buy fast are:
Sofa bed or a good air mattress (Amazon has pretty good ones for under $100, I have this one air mattress ) - if you can buy a sofa bed as it doubles way better as sofa to sit on during the day sofa ikea has good options sofa bed
Foldable table (again amazon, they are height adjustable and I can use them as table to prep food, dinner table and couch table , I usually buy 2) table

Most apartments in the US come with walk-in closets so that’s a great plus if not you can get pretty cheap roller wardrobes. A friend of mine has this wardrobe

It’s not much but it helps for the first few months and then over time when you have more money you start buying things like a proper bed, desk and so on.

I always prioritize kitchen appliances as I love cooking and will move the better ones I have but then buy cheap plates and so on.

Hope this helps to get an idea of what’s possible on a smaller budget

Here

I have so many questions, guys.

1. Does anyone have a favorite clothes drying rack? I'm looking at this one right now.
   
   
2. Any recommendations for waterproofing spray? I've got this in my cart. Also, it seems like you can pretty much use waterproofing spray on any type of leather shoe...is that true in y'all's experience?
   
   
3. For scuff marks that are lighter than the color of the leather, is shoe polish the right solution? If so, where can you buy that type of thing? I'm hesitant to order online because of color matching.
   
   
4. Does anyone have experience with final sale items at Banana Republic? I think something I bought is final sale, but I'm not entirely sure, and I was hoping to return it.

Are these cloth diapers or disposable? What is the current capacity for reference?

Either way, I would go with a plastic step bin. Hard plastic is easy to periodically clean and disinfect, even if it isn't as pretty. Plus, you can usually attach a charcoal filter to the inside of the lid, especially with higher end models or separately if you buy an attachable sleeve that sticks to the inside of the lid. This can help mitigate any lingering smells. If you want something study, simplehuman makes plain ol' 13 gallon step cans, and it will last a lifetime because the parts are replaceable.

simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can, Black Plastic With Secure Slide Lock

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VWMS5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_M6cEDbAG7K40C

Lower end, I recommend the sterilite and Rubbermaid cans in the same half-round shape. They are usually offered as a step can or a touch top (basically a step button you push at the lid), so you can determine what is best for him to use.

Rubbermaid Touch-Top Lid Trash Can for Home, Kitchen, and Bathroom Garbage, 13 Gallon, White

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KX15Z1A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n9cEDbYY82KWN

If disposable, you can get any size you are comfortable lifting the contents of (9 - 13 gallon, but I wouldn't go higher than that because wet things get heavy and repetitive motions are dangerous with adult care) and just use the right size plastic bag.

If you are talking cloth, there are pul liners which perfectly fit a sterilite 6 gallon step can, maybe other sizes too (edit: that can be washed with the diapers). However, they aren't always leak proof so ymmv, especially the larger you go. Let me know if you want recommendations for them. Best of luck!

They're made from wire storage cubes like this. and zip-ties. They're excellent for making play pens too!

Large Command Hooks

You basically just set up the command hook so that it's tilted (pointing at around 10 o'clock) and then the sensor nicely snugs itself in and conveniently points slightly downward as well

They're also pretty useful for a place to put your touch controllers (learned this one from another redditor)

Get a locking trash can like this one. Keeps my german shepherd from garbage surfing for drugs.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0050PLCUW?pc_redir=T1&redirect=true

These are the exact hooks that Casey and most other people use.

I don't have nearly as nice a setup as others do with trays like this where they card all their floss and organize it by color or number. I keep my uncarded floss in little drawers roughly sorted by color and then card it as I actually use the color - mine has more drawers than this and stays on top of a cabinet, no pictures since I am at work. Once they are carded they get to live free-range in my sewing basket (not my actual basket print but same type and alas i am not at home to show off the pretty teal), where rules are made up and organization doesn't matter. But they don't snag against each other so I'm perfectly happy. Metallic threads stay on their spools in an extra large index card box (I only use the kind on spools so recarding isn't an issue). Finally, variegated threads all live in.... a candy tin. Kinda like your current setup but pretty and oval. I only have a couple carded atm so those live at the bottom and I know where they are.

I have really bad ADHD and a couple other comorbidities so having to maintain a filed system would no joke make me go fucking insane. Digging around to find and compare shades of colors is fun to me and as long as everything is stored in the one box then I know where they are to pull everything out and gaze upon it.

I've been machine washing for 3 years with no issues.

• Set machine on cold.
  
  
• Set to gentle.
  
  
• Use Clear and Free Detergent. No dye or perfumed detergent like this.
  
  
• Use delicate wash bags.
  
  
• Hang dry. I use a rack.

It's a bit smaller than a regular load. The washer holds about twice as much as the dryer, so you have to do two drying cycles for each wash load. It sounds like a lot, but the wash cycle is only 15 minutes max (i usually set it to 12 minutes) and the dry cycle is 5 minutes max (i usually do 4 minutes). The big limitation for this is drying space. I can usually only do a load a day, or one in the morning and one at night because of drying space. I have one fold up drying rack like the one below and one drying clip thing like this:

Whitmor 6171-844 Clip and Drip Hanger with 26 Clips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001E839U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_DWo7wbNC407Z6

Drying rack:
AmazonBasics Foldable Drying Rack - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_gXo7wbZ0V7E64

I used these hangers from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IBZ1CDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Was debating to get this one instead and it might work out better. We get hit with earthquakes in my area at times so I went with the one with two ends.

Do you have room on the back of the door to hang something like this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D58DRVC/ref=psdc_11601917011_t1_B000IXOH7G

It doesnt give you more counter space but at least it provides storage.


Another potential option would be really tall shower tension caddy that you can place in the corner:

https://www.amazon.com/Zenna-2130NN-Tension-Corner-Nickel/dp/B004EPXKKE/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1491227346&sr=1-5&keywords=shower+caddy

She has to be on board with the decluttering, and it’s best if you help her do it rather than doing it for her. If she just has too much stuff, some of it does have to go. Things worth keeping might be best stored in another room if it doesn’t fit in her room, but it’s likely that at least some of it should be thrown out.

In looking for more room to store things, look up and look down. Tall bookcases or shelves. Shelves above the door, window, closet. Under the bed.

Also consider space on the inside of the door. Get a hanging shoe organizer to hang on the door. Lots of small things can be put in the pockets (get mesh or clear plastic so it’s easy to see contents). I’m imagining lots of makeup stored that way would work.

I actually think having them out in the open but inaccessible is the best solution. I have a hanging shoe organizer that I call "cell phone jail". When I have to take a phone, I actually have the student put it in there (so they're in control of placing it). The thing is transparent so they can see the phone the whole time and know where it is. I think that makes them feel a little more comfortable with it.

I work in a Title I school and a student's phone is without a doubt the most expensive thing they own, and may be the most expensive thing in their home, so I understand their stress around it and try to accommodate that, but they definitely can't have it out in class.

Thank you. Do you think one of these will come in handy? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D58DRVC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A1L7F5DL4H71TK&psc=1

We are going to be on Carnival and wine is allowed. You're right about snacks, haha. We are going to Disney for a week after the cruise and that's when we need the snacks! No makeup for me as I don't wear it but thanks for the suggestion!

One of those plastic over the door shoe storage things. Then glue gun or velcro a line in the middle of each compartment to make extra compartments. You can store multiple earings together. Organize each section by metal type, color, beading, material, etc.

Hi and welcome. To save myself some time, I'm going to copy/paste. So, some tips. If you haven't, check out Guinea Lynx to get great information on guinea pigs and guinea pig care.

If you are looking for a cage, I usually recommend Midwest Habitat or you can find a C&C at Guinea Pig Cages Store. You can also build your own C&C using these Grid Shelving Pieces, and purchasing the coroplast at either a sign shop, big box home improvement store, or order online.

Guinea pigs need a friend, a roomy cage, plain, boring, green food pellets (since these are young pigs under six months of age, they'll also need Alfalfa hay & Alfalfa hay-based food), fresh veggies, and fresh water.

I'll put some additional tips & tricks next, as a way to get them comfortable with you. If you have any questions, please let me know.

So, these are just some general suggestions to get things started. This subreddit is a bit deceptive because you see piggies who are happy & comfortable in their settings. It certainly does not start out in that manner. You're in the "long game" for now, and with patience and practice, you'll start seeing some progress in a month or two.

1. Put them on a schedule. They'll figure it out soon enough, and will come to the cage edge to see you.
   
2. Guinea pigs love food, so the fastest way to their heart is via their tummies. Whenever you see them, have snacks available. Make sure the pieces are small, as they are small critters, and you want them to come back for more. In the beginning, start simple. Offer small pieces of Romaine or bell pepper (start with green, then in two weeks introduce a different color). Sit near their cage, talk to them, let them smell you, give them a chance to get to know you.
   
3. Lap time. Use a cuddle sack to collect them from the cage. Collect one pig, transfer to a towel or blanket, go get the second pig. For as long as they need, have lap time be a "together" activity. They'll be more content if they have a friend. During lap time, offer something very special - like parsley or cilantro. While they munch, you figure out how they like to be touched, as each pig has different preferences. Do they like chin rubs? Cheek rubs/massages? Nose rubs/massages? Forehead rubs/massages? Most pigs do not like being touched on their backend, so keep that in mind.
   
4. Floor time. Floor time is a great way for them to get some good exercise, and also for you to participate. The easiest way is for you to sit on the floor with them during floor time. Offer their usual snacks, so they come to you. Eventually they should climb onto your lap to say "hi" and get a snack from you. For floor time, you can protect your floors/carpet by using a layered system - put down a shower curtain liner, on top of it (depending upon how long floor time will last) you can put down some puppy training pads, and then towels or blankets. If it is less than an hour of floor time, you can skip the puppy training pads and just use towels or blankets. If you want them to run more, don't put down any pigloos, hideys, or boxes. Allow them to get comfortable with floor time before adding those features so they get the idea they are supposed to move around and not hide. Other things you can try - paper bags (my girls pee/poo in paper bags, so I don't usually give these to them), oatmeal containers with the bottom cut out, toilet paper rolls stuffed with timothy hay, etc. You want to give them some sensory experiences just keep in mind they'll chew on stuff, so don't give them anything potentially dangerous.
   
   Keep in mind that they will respond to whatever you call them. I have a pig named "Mocha" but from early on we called her "Mo-Mo" and that is now the name to which she responds. Yes, your piggies will eventually learn their names and come when you call them. Good luck! If you have questions, you can post on the subreddit, on the chat, or feel free to DM me. We want you to be successful. :)

Shoe rack, surplus goes under my bed.

If you have the space invest in this thing so you can avoid dryers http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Can-Do-DRY-01610-Heavy-Gullwing-Drying/dp/B00383O2UU/ref=lp_695488011_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375752511&sr=1-3

My dogs did the same thing. Then I bought this garbage can. It has a little latch on it to prevent them from opening it up.

Where did you get the racks at?

Edit: Nevermind, I found a few that will work (on Amazon).

Here for those interested:

If you can get a desk or workbench with a backsplash (a little wall around the back edge of it) DO. Dropping stuff off the front of the desk is bad enough, but having little bits snap off and fly behind the desk? The worst.

I got a couple of these from Ikea:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40107872/

They have little drawers that I can keep tools in under my workbench when I'm not using them. So I have sanding stuff in one drawer, a drawer full of little bits of wire and leftover photoetch, a drawer full of glues, one of paint sets, and so on.

I also bought some nail polish wall racks for holding paint. Like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Nail-Polish-Organizer-Holds-Bottles/dp/B00GBC0JVG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415389236&sr=8-2&keywords=nail+polish+rack

...although if you're cool about building things yourself, you could do it cheaper. The clear acrylic is nice, though, since you can read bottles through it.

Album Mount Vinyl Record Shelf Stand and Wall Mount, Invisible and Adjustable, 1 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IBZ1CDK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_F6PXBbVGW0GH0

I use a few of these things. They've been there for the last few years now without ever coming off or anything. A+

Don't laugh. I have headphone stands that I use near my bookshelf and end-table. But, I have a smaller desk and not enough space for a full-fledged stand. So, I bought these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P9GYUE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They stick right on to the wall using 3m tape and are solid. Plus, I like that it's wide enough to allow the headphone band plus cables.

HAHAHA possibly another bachelorette frog move - I don't wash them until they're about ready to crawl off to the washing machine on their own. About a week or longer because I wear them ONLY when I'm out of the house. Like at work. I go grocery shopping braless. And I wash them in this: http://www.amazon.com/Mesh-Lingerie-Delicates-Wash-Bag/dp/B0001E83AE

F*ck hand washing ANYTHING. That's what mesh bags are for. Buy a few of these which are also available at your local dollar store and wash on delicate. Hang to dry. Move on with your life.

Maybe zip tie some of those wire storage cube panels to it?

These 3M's work fine for my 12.5 oz, and sometimes another pair behind them.

A shower caddy helped alot. Didn't think I'd ever use mine but i ended up using it every day.

Besides basic school supplies, bring your vitamins as they'll help keeping you awake.

Plastic Drawers such as these where you can shove it into your closet to get yourself a few more feet of surface area helped in organization.

3M stick-on-hooks or whatever they're called to hang your stuff and keep them off the ground.

Tupperware or any container to keep your toothbrush and toothpaste neatly together.

I can't remember everything I brought over but basically anything that will keep your stuff together neatly and in a small package. Cups to hold your pens and pencils, tupperware to hold your stuff, ziplock bags. You don't want to be that roommate who drops everything on the floor as soon as they get back from class and have everything messy.

EDIT: The one thing I absolutely loved myself for bringing was a pair of ear plugs and an eye mask yo help me sleep during the day and help me sleep when it's late at night and my roommate continued to study at night. Those two things saved my life.

It sure does; it's stuck fast. Hell, I can grab it and wiggle it and my whole desk moves

I used these: https://www.amazon.com/Command-Refill-Strips-Medium-9-Strips/dp/B0014CQGW4/ref=pd_sim_60_17?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0014CQGW4&pd_rd_r=SDC263Y1FQE5M2HD6KM3&pd_rd_w=Al9ST&pd_rd_wg=An4o2&psc=1&refRID=SDC263Y1FQE5M2HD6KM3

Just straight stuck on to the desk, none of that velcro-like stuff

You can probably save space by getting a laundry rack like this one. I dry most of my delicates on one of these, and they usually dry overnight.

You can drape things strategically on there to make room for more items. I doubt your shirts have to be perfectly flat - they just need to be supported. I usually drape my shirts over 1 or 2 rungs on my laundry rack and they turn out fine. :)

Ha! My parents did the same thing which is why I took over my own laundry at a young age :)

First, never buy anything "dry clean only" and if you have to, I typically use Dryel.

For normal laundry, only bras with underwire get hand washed. Everything else gets washed on warm/cold, gentle cycle. I use Charlie's Soap laundry detergent- no dyes/fragrance/etc; it's really cheap and gets clothes cleaner than most liquid detergents I've tried.

I hang dry all of my everyday shirts, bathing suits, and anything else delicate (like nice underwear or Spanx). Everything else- cotton underwear, workout clothes, pants, etc- I dry on medium heat.

Since we have limited space, we use these for hang drying:

For shirts- http://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-Collapsible-Indoor-Clothes/dp/B002E3KYTS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1374752652&sr=8-6&keywords=clothes+hanging+rack

For everything else- http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6023-741-Folding-Clothes-Drying/dp/B001UE8ILI/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1374752681&sr=1-2&keywords=clothes+drying+rack

I have this one. It's not stainless steel, but it's durable as all hell and it keeps my fuzzy trash gremlins from eating garbage. I've gone through a lot of cheaper trash cans, but I anticipate having this one for many years.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VWMS5E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003VWMS5E&linkCode=as2&tag=newdogowners-20

$29 for hooks? Yeah, no thanks.

Half the price. Just as good.

2 things I would buy again and again are wire shelving like this and a bunch of little plastic drawers like this.

Sorry for pic quality! There's a light in the way XD. I used a 10ft cable extension, command strip hooks, zip ties, and a dog leash to make my Oculus cord retractable!

Okay so maybe 6 months ago my aunt got a cold that would not go away. She went into the doctors and after many tests she was diagnosed with cancer and given about 6 months. We all had been hoping she'd make it past christmas, but we got word yesterday she's about to pass. Things have been getting worse and worse but now she's unconscious, non-responsive and her vitals are dropping. We thought she'd pass yesterday, but last we heard she was still just out, her vitals are still really low, but she's kind of hanging on. I didn't get to see her before because it was sudden and we've kind of been trying to give her husband and kids time with her, ya know. I know she's been in a crazy amount of pain, so I almost hope she passes sooner rather than later so she's finally at peace...

Sudden change of topic and on to something less depressing! Since husband isn't buying me a christmas gift (and lets be honest, no one else is either) I got myself this nail polish holder, and this one too. Yay for me. Super happy to move out of boxes and into pretty displays.

Hope everyone is doing well. <3

Hand washing is the approach I take with silk as well, and you seem to have a good set up so far. I fill a basin with cool water, squeeze in some Soak or Eucalan (lately I've been using Soak), and swish the detergent around with my hand. Next, I gingerly place the garment into the water and let it soak. I tend to go garment by garment because I'm worried about colors bleeding and whatnot. The garment gets about 10-15 minutes of soak time. During this time I set up a drying rack and nab a clean towel. When the soak time is over, I lay the garment on the towel on a flat surface and roll it up slowly and gently squeeze to absorb water. I then put it on the drying rack to dry.

I bought this one for my 1BR apartment and its great

This is the model I've got! I'm not an audiophile by any stretch, but I like it well enough.

Also, YMMV, but I really enjoyed these if your collection winds up taking off. Makes for some lazy-ass wall art.

Here ya go.

For others curious, the Headset is SteelSeries Arctis 7. They frequently go on sale--I got mine below $100. It's a fabulous headset. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is if you happen to have a really big head--they fit my kinda-big noggin ok, but I'm right at the end of what they can handle comfortably.

Those that are actively being used for D&D, Frostgrave, Gloomhaven, or whatever current game we're playing I keep them in Letter Trays except the taller ones go on Spice Racks on a shelf all near the gaming table for easy access. The rest go on this Shoe Rack in a seperate room until they are needed.

The best recommendation I ever got (and have used for over 15 cruises) is to bring an over the door shoe hanger. It can be hung over the bathroom door, facing the stateroom. We use it for storing all of our small stuff...playing cards, chargers, batteries, cameras, toiletries, sunglasses, etc.

Yeah, or just small laundry bags, they have them on amazon. I put my underwear and LOs wash clothes in them also.

https://www.amazon.com/24-Pockets-SimpleHouseware-Crystal-Organizer/dp/B01D58DRVC/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1498786051&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Shoe+organizer&psc=1

What about a shoe organizer in the closet? Short of the 64 era everything else fits fine in one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZOH2J5I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485964848&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=10+tier+shoe+rack&dpPl=1&dpID=41ttbaTa3uL&ref=plSrch

They have this shoe rack at Amazon for 40 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZOH2J5I/ref=sxl1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467238769&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

http://www.amazon.com/Mesh-Lingerie-Delicates-Wash-Bag/dp/B0001E83AE

I use http://amzn.com/B0001E83AE cause I am not patient enough for the tangle- plus the bags last longer than the bras.

The target set (made by closetmaid) has two kinds of panels, one has a wider grill of 5x5 holes while the other has a tighter grid of about 8x8. A can't fit through either, but the tighter grid one makes for a better shelf for the cat to sit on.

There's a set on amazon by whitmore that's about $20 a set, but the picture makes it look like its all the tighter grid.

Those racks are great. I had a set for 20+ years that I finally got rid of this year when I moved.

wire storage cubes

If you have the space, the best things are these ! They’re cheaper than an additional cage, and you can kinda build your own shape out of the different sections. You’ll be able to put them together and it usually costs less. Best of luck on with your little pig! I’m sure he’s gonna warm up to you :) it just takes time

my tricks:
Gel manacure before hand is such a wonderful thing! My nails stayed nice and the polish didn't chip at all.

Keeping makeup in a Tupperware in the cooler will keep it from melting or getting weird.

I seem like the minority but I love wearing my long hair down as often as I can, and I found braids are too damaging for my hair so I just stay away from them. Using leave in conditioner after showering kept my hair from getting staticy and crazy.

I have a very large chest and found that putting deoderent under and inbetween them really helps with the boob sweat issue! I also got a tube of this stuff to use in between my thighs to avoid chafing. I tried it out while I was at disneyland for 2 days in 100F weather and It worked like a charm!

This applies to anyone, but I brought one of these organizers last year and it felt like a lifesaver on staying tidy in my tent. I put underwear and socks in one drawer, tights and hats in the next, and other various accessories and costumes in the bottom drawer. It made it so much easier when I would be drunk and stumbling back to camp for a quick change. I also found that trying on and planning each outfit before I arrived to really help too. I don't like to fuss around with what i'm wearing too much when i'm out there so having everything ready to go was so nice.

I have done this! Home depot sells big 4x8 sheets of whiteboard like material. In the store it will be labeled as 'white panel board'. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Eucatex-32-sq-ft-MDF-White-Thrifty-Panel-Board-143973/204982659

Then buy a bunch of command strips. http://www.amazon.com/Command-Medium-Mounting-Refill-9-Strip/dp/B0014CQGW4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418242347&sr=8-3&keywords=command+strips

Put 2-3 strips on each side of the back of the board (8-12 strips per board) leaving just the rounded tabs sticking out past the edge of the board. Then peel off all the wall side backings from the strips and place the board on the wall.

You will only have one go at this, if you miss place the board, you will probably have to replace all the command strips to try again, so be careful. Then, press down hard on the location where each command strip is. You will have to leave small ~1" gaps between the boards so that you can get at the command strip tabs in case you need to remove the boards.

I hang my clothes up year round, regardless of weather, using one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6023-741-Folding-Clothes-Drying/dp/B001UE8ILI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1370740696&sr=8-4&keywords=indoor+clothes+hanger well not that one specifically, you could probably find or even make one of similar design for much cheaper. After the clothes are dry, I like to throw them in the dryer for about 20 minutes on the cooldown setting with a few fabric softeners just to get rid of the stiffness and whatnot. We also have a clothes line for the summer months, but to be totally honest, it's about 20x faster and easier to throw them on the indoor hanger (no need for clothes pins).

A few people are talking about big things like mini-fridges and vacuums and I just want to point out that you should contact your roommate in advance to coordinate those.

A drying rack was really helpful for my roommate and I. In the same vein, some sort of space saver if your closets are tiny.

A good, big reusable water bottle--especially if you plan to drink a lot. I never get hungover.

It's [this one from Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-Resin-Wood-Composite-Utility/dp/B00336TY0K) stacked on top of one another

Edit: I have the same one(s)

I have 3 of these (just added a third...damn this sub!). They look nice and do the job. Two are side by side, and I stacked the third on top of one. I'm sure in the next year I'll need another.

http://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-Resin-Wood-Composite-Utility/dp/B00336TY0K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408905017&sr=8-1&keywords=shoe+rack

http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Can-Do-DRY-01610-Heavy-Gullwing-Drying/dp/B00383O2UU

Can't recommend this enough. Comes out Sunday night, folds away neatly into the closet Monday morning, bras are all nice and dry.

You need a drying rack. You can still lay flat across the rack. Something like this is what I use. Honey-Can-Do Heavy Duty Gullwing Drying Rack, White Metal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00383O2UU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KyJTBbRXJX2KN.

Lay shirts across the rack vs hanging them.

I can’t imagine laying them on a towel is good. It would take so long I would worry about mildew and stuff.

I can likely get artful w my placement and dry 5-6 t-shirt sized shirts this way. I do my Ultrafines w it.

I mean... we just installed something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050PLCUW/

It was less than 10$ and you can even hook the final part through the two prongs and it holds it in place great. I don't know why you would need to rig something up on the ceiling and stuff. Why would you think it would be easier to use? Did you install the plug on the wrong wall or something?

If you need, I could take some photos when I get home.

I do believe some people have used these:

https://www.amazon.com/Tornado-00520-Large-J-Hook/dp/B0050PLCUW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466642057&sr=8-1&keywords=large+j+hook

Do note that these are the large j hooks. Tornado sells a smaller one which I don't think clears the boosted's wheels.

Or a pair of these hooks for only $14!

Tornado 00520 Large J-Hook https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050PLCUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KTdezbAG6Z184

They are these, recommended to me by someone here on the Boosted sub.
Tornado 00520 Large J-Hook https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050PLCUW?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I dont have anything too cute but they its simple, clean, and organized.

I am lacking in Palette holders but for my small eyeshadow trios/singles, lipsticks, eyeliners, primers, and concealers I am using two of these: https://www.amazon.com/STERILITE-Drawer-Mini-20738006-Clear/dp/B006SOJFDA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500491024&sr=8-1&keywords=white+and+clear+drawer+container

and then for my everyday basics i use this container from elf. Mine is in white but they have it in black. http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/holiday-large-brush-holder?Dept=all-tools

Then for my brushes i use another elf container: http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/holiday-small-brush-holder?Dept=all-tools

and i also use a small mason like jar i got from target for my brushes as well.

No pictures because I'm not home, but I have 3 of these little, stackable sterlite containers, 3 large z-palettes, one of these acrylic organizers that fits nicely onto of the sterilite drawers, & a brush bag to hold my brushes that I rarely use but can't seem to part with. Any pressed powder that I could de-pot & place in the z-palette, I did, which really help towards space saving. I also have done multiple de-clutters over the past year, in order to get rid of colors that were too similar or products that I didn't really like/use. I managed to get my collection down to fit everything in these storage containers, including my brushes/tools that I use daily. Everything except my brush bag fits on 1 shelf in my bathroom cabinet (I have built in set up just like this), & I place the bag in a drawer that has a bunch of necessary, but rarely used things, so it's accessible, but out of the way. I share a house with my cousin, so I have a 1 shelf/2 drawer limit with no counter space to speak of. If I can't fit my stuff neatly into my designated space, I have to get rid of things. Unfortunately, I don't have a proper vanity; I have 7 dogs & their beds/crates take up all the spare space (& then some) in my bedroom. It's a sacrifice I'm more than happy to make.

This works well

On amazon

Here is the one he already made. Each drawer holds 40 shadows.

The one I am getting him to make is basically this but with wood shelves, and acrylic rods to hold the shadows upright. (also- less height between shelves)

I've put a nail polish rack on the wall behind my painting table.

Air drying is mostly about airflow, the more of your garment is exposed to air the quicker it will dry. I lay my knits out on something like this and they dry pretty quickly even in the cooler months

https://www.amazon.com/Album-Mount-Record-Invisible-Adjustable/dp/B00IBZ1CDK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542402485&sr=8-3&keywords=vinyl+wall

​

Very nice! I actually considered making something like this for myself recently, but then I settled on buying these instead.

Its called vinyl collector mount https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IBZ1CDK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GomPCbQW4NKB2

Just as a heads up, there are headphone stands on amazon that are very similar to this design: http://www.amazon.com/Stick-on-Headphone-Hooks-2-Pack/dp/B00P9GYUE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459127066&sr=8-1&keywords=wall+headphone+stand

I don't know if you're trying to do it for the joy of DIY, but if you're doing it to save money these are $6 each (I don't know how much 3D printing cost so sorry if it's a lot cheaper than that). They have some for desks too.

Thought I'd point it out, but otherwise awesome idea, especially being able to configure it differently.

I read somewhere, some time ago, that what happens is the socks get drained in the washer with the water waste...since then I've used a net for socks and pantyhose and seems to eliminated the missing sock syndrome.

Easier to just use a wash bag like this one.

You can also make a climbing tower for your rabbit out of those metal storage cubes. Like these. One of those cubes is perfect jump-able rabbit height. I cover up the platforms with cheap carpet squares.

My best additional storage at Rutgers were these things: https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Storage-Cubes-Stackable-Interlocking/dp/B000LRBSFI

I had some in my closet and under my bed. You can configure them in anyway you need.

You can also get cube storage bins in any color for different kinds of storing.

The mesh part is probably just a storage cube set. I did the same thing with my bunny.

https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Storage-Cubes-Stackable-Interlocking/dp/B000LRBSFI/

The teal panels are also storage cubes, I've seen the exact same ones at Walmart. The storage cube option gives you more flexibility in designing their little home. If you have no Walmart I'm sure stores with college dorm essentials will stock them for real cheap.

Do you have any of the chain stores in Canada as listed in the wiki? (e.g. Target and Walmart)

Otherwise, here are some random online Canadian stores I found on Google:

  I used the search term "site:.ca$ wire storage cube" Hope it helps. I'll add those links to the wiki, too.

Amazon has what I assume is the same thing.

I notice the customer images for this one shows several converted in pet cages.

I go by the rule, not enough room for a cat=not enough room for a rabbit.

I used about 8 of these to make a huge pen that keeps them from all the dangerous wires and chewing the walls, keep them together with zip ties. These are nice because you can do any size, shape and height you want. (I also went and ordered a couple more that I haven’t needed yet because back ups seemed like a good idea if I felt inspired to make it bigger in a whim)

storage cubes

I have this litter box(pricey but worth it)

litter box/feeder

And two of these water dishes because the bottles aren’t as easy for rabbits to drink from. These are non flip and very nice.

bowls

Hope this helps.

Edit: I use the storage cubes to make walls but not levels or tops to the pens, I space big enough to frolick in better than having a place to go upwards.

Storage Cubes, twistie ties, and binder clips! I've been using this set up for years, and never a problem except -

Only once has a bun ever broke out (and that was this guy); the night before something outside frightened him and he flipped out for a bit and pushed one panel out of the clip and I didn't notice. I got home from work the next day and he was chillin' under the coffee table.

Just looked on Amazon and they have the same exact 14 grids for $19.99! And free shipping. Definitely check those out!

So I know this requires spending a bit of money, but you or your friend could buy a pack of these grids and then use a shower curtain (which you could buy from a dollar store, or really cheap at walmart) to build the base instead of coroplast. You'd have to spend $20, but you may be able to find a pack of grids even cheaper at a store like Target.

We have some of those shelves where it's just a series of metal grids with plastic joints and you can assemble them however you want. Instead of all cubes, one part is two cubes high to hang clothes in. The rest you can just stack cubes as high as you want. I like how they break down for easy moving. Like these, except I've found them newish in the box at a thrift store for much cheaper.

Here's a picture of the shelves I want/need in my dining room. My kitchen is tiny and woefully short of pantry space, so I've got dry goods and appliances stacked on the dining room floor. Luckily, my dog is too dumb to figure out that food lives in boxes.

http://amzn.com/B000LRBSFI

You’re welcome to try but I don’t think the pins would be able to support the shelf, let alone anything you put on top. You should try some of these hooks. They stick to the wall and are designed to be removable without leaving any marks.

Use these.

We also have a two-pronged approach. A tower of drawers in a closet similar to THIS, but taller/more drawers, and a go-bag that sits near the door similar to THIS.

This is what I use:

Mini drawers


Small drawers


Medium drawers


Large drawers






I also have clear shoe storage boxes on shelves which I found I like the best for the bulk of my Lego. They generally cost 94 cents to $1 in stores like WalMart and Target. These are great for sorting the Lego too. I have no idea how much my Lego weighs, but I have over 55,000 pieces (not including a few of the larger sets).

Make sure you have a trashcan, ice, cups and a roll of TP ready to go into the new place on moving day. They come in so handy and it's nice to be able to offer the people helping you move a bathroom and cold water.

As for storage, I'm a stacker. I think if you buy yourself a few of these you'll be amazed what you can fit in them and how little space they take up. Also this could help for storage as well :) Thanks for the contest and good luck on your move! We're movin' on up!

Your closet sounds similar to mine.

We bought these and they work great and fit on the shelves quite well. Perfect for jeans! I can fit 6 pairs of my jeans and my husband can fit 4 of his. He’s a bit taller than me.

https://www.target.com/p/river-birch-y-weave-medium-green-room-essentials-153/-/A-53764194


They’re also good for sweaters and long sleeve shirts. I purchased a smaller size for tees and tanks.

There is room to hang clothes under the bottom shelf in our closet. Instead of hanging clothes I put a shoe rack there and a low and kinda wide plastic set of drawers.

We already had our shoe rack, but it’s similar to this.

https://www.amazon.com/20-Pair-Storage-Organizer-Entryway-Stackable/dp/B01LXRS4SI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=shoe+rack&qid=1550509915&s=gateway&sr=8-4

My plastic drawer set is one piece, but the size of like two of these put together. (I found mine at TJ Maxx and haven’t seen another one in store or online.)

Something like this may work well for you too.

HAHAHAHHA i could have sworn it was a one of these, and I was going to say TOO LATE BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT ONE

yeah yours was probably better.

If it makes a difference, all I have left to review ATM are a 6 flavors or so from the plume room that I ordered with my magic melon medley drop. I'm planning a few more orders this weekend, though... :3

create a separate space to put your not clean but not dirty clothes, maybe a dedicated drawer in your dresser, a storage container, or they even sell things like these at Walmart and department stores that work really well for clothing. if you have a bank account you can go to the bank and ask for a roll of quarters and they'll deduct that money from your account, or they may be able to literally exchange $10 in cash for a roll of quarters, not positive.

This might be too big for your needs, but when I was in college I used it for underwear, socks, belts, my hygiene supplies.

This is similar, but open.

I have a set of those plastic drawers like this [http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-29308001-3-Drawer-See-Through-Drawers/dp/B000MPQ2S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368652796&sr=8-1&keywords=plastic+storage+drawers] That I keep by the cage and keep food and accessories in. I put the hay in Rubbermaid totes that fit on the shelf underneath the cage. As for fleece fabric? You know I have a ton for the stuff I make, that's usually in an extra drawer in the dresser or an organized box in the closet lol.

I used a few these type of adhesive pads.

http://www.amazon.com/Command-Medium-Mounting-Refill-9-Strip/dp/B0014CQGW4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1457997991&sr=8-5&keywords=3m+adhesive

They're holding really well so far.

Just a couple of those double-sided adhesive things with the pull tabs. Works wonderfully!

Like these: https://www.amazon.com/Command-Refill-Strips-Medium-9-Strips/dp/B0014CQGW4

i use the dryer for all inserts, doublers, etc and line dry pocket shells, covers, and AIOs. i use a drying rack (like this, except mine was under $15 from target ) in my daughters room. if youve worried about space then do what i do and dry overnight. i hang everything on the drying rack before i put my daughter in her crib and in the morning i can fold everything. we have the room to be able to leave it out but as she becomes more mobile i may just fold it up. also if youre worried about dripping (mostly everything comes out just damp after the final spin in our washer) just put a towel under the drying rack to catch anything.

I did a clothesline style, but that was kind of a hassle, especially with a roommate. My friend showed me this recently though:
http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6023-741-Folding-Clothes-Drying/dp/B001UE8ILI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453230285&sr=8-1&keywords=best+clothes+drying+rack

The dryer is broken. Can't be fixed. New ones cost waaaaay to much right now. This rack would help my mom and I with being able to wash things like sheets and blankets that desperately need to be washed. Dirty stuff is starting to pile up. There's no place to put things to dry them after they get through the washer.

Totally understandable if I don't win. There are lots of people that need something more desperately than this. You're amazing.

I just graduated from college!

And let me tell you... the following items served me incredibly well!

• Foldable clothes drying rack
  
  
• Heated Mattress Pad (most dorm beds are Twin XL, so I've linked that size here) and Electric Blanket - you're living on campus now, but you probably won't beyond freshman year. Trust me, invest in this. Electricity is sooo much cheaper than gas. Not to mention powering an electric blanket is way cheaper than heating an entire house/apartment!
  
  
• Shower Tote - easily carry all of your toiletries to the commons shower and toilet rooms!
  
  
• Bath towel wrap - Men and Ladies
  
  
• Basic First-Aid Kit
  
  Would you like a falafel with that?

I used one of these:

Whitmor Double Rod Freestanding Closet Heavy Duty Storage Organizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DGM4IU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_e6XBCbZHMCP4N

And put it together so the bottom rack was higher up and suspended a rack for a drop tray. I use a disposable foil baking dish to catch the runoff. There's a nice space underneath for my humidifier and storage (hopefully a clone set up eventually) and a rack on top for my carbon filter and fan. The light hangs from the coat rack with a solid 4' of growing space. If you DM me I'll send you a picture of what it looks like!

I got this unit to store gear in my basement.

I have an adjacent workbench that I set a box fan on top of and aim it at the rack to dry the gear. Nothing touches the floor, and I can store a full set of gear including leg pads, plus room for another set of gloves and a spare helmet.

I used to have a floordrobe but I invested in this and it was seriously worth it. It's easy to put everything away and frees up my closet for (desperately needed) storage.

Here you go dude 😏
Seville Classics 3-Tier Resin Slat Utility Shoe Rack, Espresso https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00336TY0K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SD93Ab150JDXF

I just picked up this one from Amazon, mainly because it was highly rated by TheWirecutter. I’m pretty happy with it. Solid construction, can be put together in several configurations for different sizes of shoes/boots (especially if you get the two-pack). The width will fit three pairs of men’s shoes or boots on each level.

Ah okay, thought you had the same one. If you are in America, might want to try this one http://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-Resin-Wood-Composite-Utility/dp/B00336TY0K/ref=sr_1_1?s=storageorganization&ie=UTF8&qid=1429809445&sr=1-1&keywords=shoe+rack

This shoe rack seems to be popular here (I've seen people ask about it often when small collections using it are posted) can be stackable, and doesn't break the bank.

Not sure of the budget, but another idea might be a sneaker cleaning set (brushes, wipes, and solution) from brands like Jason Markk or Crep, etc. ($30-$50 range)

I hang all my tops and dress pants. Jeans, chinos, shorts, underwear, and socks are folded in drawers.

I have this tie and belt rack and three of these shoe racks.

I have some of these and if you set up the shelves right, you can get two rows that fit boots per rack.

I bought three of this rack off amazon and have them organized like this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00336TY0K/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481205639&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=shoe+rack&dpPl=1&dpID=415PANUlISL&ref=plSrch

Just Amazon's cheap ones. The good thing about this one is that you could stack them as many as you want. A bit tricky with high tops tho (only top level can hold high tops). So if you have a lot of high tops I suggest getting something else. As for size, I wear 9.5. So i think it should be fine for size up to 12~13? I mean if you don't mind the rears of your shoes sticking out a little bit, you can put in whatever sizes you want.

I will share with you my ongoing positive experience with CD'ing.

My husband is the one who got us started. To date, we've spent ~$400 on diapers and supplies. There will be hardly any extra cost on diapers when we have baby #2 (whenever that happens). We started CD'ing when my LO was two weeks old. Our daughter is now almost four months old. We used what disposables we had left over from the hospital for her meconium poops. We never had leaks or blowouts once we started cloth diapering. We started out with thirsties size one duowrap and Osocozy prefolds since she was a tiny newborn weighing 6lbs 3oz.

We wash with Original Tide and hang dry every other day. This is the clothing rack we use to hang the pocket diapers, inserts, and covers: clothingrack!. We sometimes hang dry the prefolds, but if we have extra time we do dry the prefolds on the rack.

Both my husband and I work full-time and manage to handle the small amount of extra laundry from the diapers quite well. We LOVE having the extra money left over in our budget from not having to spend on diapers every week or month. We use our small wet bag and pocket diapers with our 2-3hours spent at the babysitters. We have two large wetbag pail liners we interchange with each dirty load of diapers. Sometimes it would be nice to have a gas mask when the poop smell is overwhelming, but seriously, the smell is nothing compared to the awful chemical smell you get built up from disposables sitting in a bag for a week. I don't miss the smell from when my daughter's newborn days. In fact, the diaper laundry helped keep me occupied when I was home on my three month leave from work.

When the baby starts solids there are plenty of options for dumping the solid poo out. There is the Potty Pail! that hooks up to your toilet. There is no dunking in the toilet (which seems really gross to me!), and there is a plug to dump the water in the toilet. There are also stand-alone diaper sprayers like the many available at Kelly's Closet!. We will be buying the potty pail when my daughter starts solids/100% formula. Oh! I forget to mention if you EBF your baby, you won't need to rinse out the poo. Breastfed poo is completely water soluble! You just throw it in the wet bag and wash when ready! We combo-feed right now and her poos are still mostly runny like an EBF baby.

My daughter is a heavywetter at night (she sleeps 8-9 hours straight), so we are in the process of finding a solution to help her sleep through the night without leaking. Sometimes we use our few AIOs, double stuff pockets, or use a hemp with a prefold. Her diapers are saturated when she leaks. I've read that some people must resort to disposables; hopefully we can avoid it.

The problem I have now is trying not to spend more money on cute diapers/prints! I
would suggest trying a diaper trial from Jillian's Drawers!. You rent what diapers you want per month. You return your diapers and get most of your money back when you're finished! You don't lose very much money AND you can decide whether cloth diapering is right for you.

I sincerely hope cloth diapering works out for you! If not, at least you gave it the college try!

get a drying rack like this one and hang your shirts as shown in the picture.

When I would wash by hand I would put them in cold water with maybe like a teaspoon of laundry detergent and let them soak for 20 minutes. And then rinse, roll up with a towel to get the excess water out (don't ring out, it will lose shape faster that way) hang dry, but I know flat dry is better if you can do that ( I actually got this thing to be able to flat dry more stuff). I now use a lingerie bag and put them on the gentle cycle in the washer, but I only use the washer because it's a front load, and I always found top load ones with the agitator in the middle were too rough for it.

I am a FTM, due in August, so not CDing just yet. Thought I'd give my 2cents because I also live in the lovely rainy PNW, and hang dry a majority of my clothes in a small indoor space and plan to continue with it for CD.

I have a neat fold out drying rack that fits a lot of stuff, and I point a Walmart box fan at it overnight. Preferably from the side so the air flows in between the clothes. I recently did this after prepping some gifted diapers and they were all dry in the morning. I have never had any issues with mildew or smell with my other clothes this way. I will probably take advantage of the sun for stains when it's here, but otherwise I have never had issues drying without the sun.

We got this at our shower and it's very sturdy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00383O2UU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p201_d0_i5?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1H5M5VVP2106VZYWFV56&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop

Would be pretty easy to stabilize outside with sandbags, too. I also like that I can put just one side up if I don't need all the space and can lay things flat as well as drape them.

First of all, I want to say I'm sorry you're dealing with this. This must be so frustrating and hard for you & your family. I do think there are times when a dog needs to be rehomed, and I wouldn't judge you for doing that if you & your family decide that's best for everyone. Biting people is unacceptable behavior, especially with little kids around.

That said, there are two things that come to mind as ideas for you. When our dogs started getting into the trash, we bought a locking trash can like this one for the kitchen, and kept the doors to other rooms with trash cans shut. Immediate improvement there.

Without seeing how you interact with your dog, it's hard to tell what's going on in terms of discipline, but I'm not sure "ignore her behavior & not scold" is a good solution. Have you brought in a dog trainer for an in-home consultation? Classes are one thing, but I wonder if having a trainer observe you guys might give you some more insight in what's going on.

Good luck and my sympathy to you guys =(

edit: also, looks like r/dogtraining exists and might be helpful to you too....

Get a trash can like this: https://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Gallon-Semi-Round-Kitchen-Plastic/dp/B003VWMS5E/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=locking+trash+can&qid=1569594155&s=gateway&sr=8-4

We have two dogs that used to rip into the garbage all the time. This one has teeth marks on the lid and they haven't been able to get it open in going on two years.

Best thing to do in these situations if she has access to items like the trash when you are not around is prevention - get a high quality, sturdy, LOCKING trash can (Example) or remove it from her access (put it in the garage, in a different room with a closed door, use gates, or put it in a cabinet). You can also make a habit of emptying the trash when you leave every day (if it is a problem of them getting into it when you leave for work - but it sounds like this was more of a 'we are home and she snuck off and got into the garbage' scenario).

Throwing away harmful trash directly in the curbside bin is a good idea and keep working on 'leave it' and redirection. Unfortunately, she now knows she CAN get into the trash if no one is looking and there are awesome things in there, so it may be more prudent just to remove access all together.

Use a combination of 'leave it' and preventing the behavior from being reinforcing (the trash is always empty or locked so she can never get any 'treats'/rewards from it) will should eventually cause the behavior to extinguish, but it only takes one time for her to figure out how to open the trash for it to be wildly reinforcing again.

TL;DR: You are right, remove the trashcan.

I would avoid purchasing any accessories now that require power from the port. Right now, there are too many variables to buy any accessories that may require power from the accessory port such as headlights, etc., but you can get those once the port is revealed. To my knowledge, their are no backpacks that can carry the board. You can, however, slide your boosted board through the 2 straps on a regular backpack wheel-side facing your back and then put the backpack on to carry it around. A good option for a wall mount would be this: https://www.amazon.com/Tornado-00520-Large-J-Hook/dp/B0050PLCUW?ie=UTF8&redirect=true If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Depending on the lag screws you used you might be fine. I did a pair of screws in each 2x4 (1 per joist spanned) as each screw was rated for 300 lbs. The pulleys are all rated at 250lb and the rope is 280lb. The eyes that each pulley hangs from are rated for 200lbs, and the little rings between the pulley and eye are like 300lb. I made sure each point of failure could/should be able to hold the entire weight of the top.

I just bought some of these to type into the ropes, I think they might work really well:

https://www.amazon.com/Tornado-00520-Large-J-Hook/dp/B0050PLCUW

They were in stock at Home Depot. they should avoid weight on the seals and not slip out. I might still do a bungee or something between them, though.

buy/build a gun rack to sit at the bottom for your long guns, I'd put it where the mortar is sitting just now. They're pretty simple if you can do even basic DIY.
get a pistol rack to go above that, again pretty easy to DIY, you could raise it up or put a drawer underneath to keep all your mags.
next to the pistols have a space to charge batteries and maybe a desktop drawer sized thing to hold parts, not sure how many there are.
get some drawers/shelves/really useful boxes to store your gear next to your long guns.

gust get some lumber from home depot to DIY most of this stuff super cheap or look around, here some examples...
Gun rack
Pistol rack
desk drawer
gear drawers
really useful boxes

how I'd set it up

I use little Sterilite drawers like these and pretty pencil cups/organizers for brushes (currently this and this.) I separate products by type. There's a drawer for face products, eyeshadow, eyeliner/mascara/brows, lips. I keep brushes of the same type together too.

The organizers are stackable and fit this type of sterilite drawer:

If you want to bundle together cables in a sheath, these ones with zippers work better than velcro ones:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Management-JOTO-Computer-Entertainment-Organizer/dp/B015HWXG4M/ref=sr_1_7/261-9295406-7442635?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1540176119&sr=1-7&keywords=cable+zipper

(word or warning: the zippers are not exactly premium YKK or RiRi quality, be careful when engaging them to avoid cross-threading..

For routing cables, these Danish organizers are pretty sweet (not available on Amazon.co.uk for some reason):

https://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/258-3647476-1208213?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cablox

Generally speaking, it pays to replace power cords, Ethernet cords and the like with shorter versions to avoid having slack cable turn into spaghetti. In the UK, your plugs are so bulky a splitter cable like these makes sense:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/258-6762083-9871312?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=IEC+power+cord+uk+plug+dual&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AIEC+power+cord+uk+plug+dual

Finally don't forget to label your cables. This Brother flexible tape works in some of their label makers (you need either a PC-connectable one or one that has software to print labels that can be wrapped around the cable):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brother-TZEFX651-TZEFX-651-BLACK-YELLOW/dp/B00WFOQERC/ref=sr_1_4/261-5989537-8091249?ie=UTF8&qid=1540177234&sr=8-4&keywords=TZe-FX651

here is a shot of it in action:

https://majid.info/images/FullSizeRender.jpg

They also have some label makers that will print on heat-shrink tube labels, but obviously that will not work on ready-made patch cables.

As others have said - get a longer cable.

In case your parents don't want any more holes in their walls, you could use some of these clips to help route the cables:

https://www.amazon.com/Command-Clips-Small-8-Clips-17302CLRES/dp/B0084M696K

or
https://www.amazon.com/Command-Outdoor-Light-16-Clips-17017CLR-AWES/dp/B01LXI1R71

We used these in one of our kids' college apartment to get the cables up off the floor - no holes in the walls at move-out time.

It may seem counterintuitive, but install curtains and sheers. Once you have them installed you can leave the blinds up at a higher height all of the time. It works for my boys. I also took all of the cord pulls and tucked them behind and fastened the ends between the window and blinds with this 3M hook. I know this description is a little confusing but it works. If you would like more details, please let me know!

I have three and they work fine with command strips. One has been on the wall for about 4 months with no issues, and just put two more the ceiling. You can use either normal command strips, or the velcro ones and they should be fine. Makes moving it to adjust the position much cleaner.

I also use the command strip cord clips to secure the cable to the ceiling/walls to prevent the cable from moving the sensor over
time. If it hangs from the sensor it could shift it and then your tracking would be off.

There are a few items I really need/want (in order of importance):

• I have way too many bottles of nail polish and I really need this polish rack
  
• My dog needs a new dog bed
  
• I could use this watch since my last one broke apart.
  
• My cats would love this cat tree

I highly recommend this flavor rack, it makes everything much easier.

Those racks are great for making the bottles visible and easy to pick. My current project is building a shallow cabinet with fold-out doors which will contain 4 racks and have a benchtop base.

Get a folding clothes rack like this one and keep it in your closet. It means you can't wash too much at once, but it's better than nothing.

Ive always lived in small apartments so I do laundry in the morning and hang it to dry through the day and put it away in the evenening or next day. Here are some of the types of drying racks Ive used (you can buy them at walmart or target for maybe less):

AmazonBasics Foldable Drying Rack - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4vE0Cb4EQR7RE

Cresnel Stainless Steel Clothes Drying Rack – Adjustable Gullwing and Foldable for Easy Storage – Rust-proof for Indoor and Outdoor Use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQU1C60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7wE0Cb0ZWR0A5

Simple Houseware Heavy Duty Clothing Garment Rack, Chrome https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSAVQJO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_txE0Cb4BD64J9

As a rule, men's clothing is not made of delicate fabrics like women's, and can just be chucked in the washer and dryer on any old setting. As a result, it's REALLY HARD to train guys to read the tags on your stuff when they're doing laundry. You can ruin a lot of bras and sweaters that way.

Pro laundry tip:
I bought a bunch of zip-up lingerie bags on Amazon. Now all my "don't throw this in the dryer" clothing goes in those bags, and it's super easy for my husband to set them aside when he's switching laundry from the washer to the dryer. (Then I hang those items on a collapsible rack to air dry.)

Wash in cold water and hang up to dry. You'll never need to worry about shrinkage again, since dryers are responsible for virtually all of the shrinking. If you find the clothes are a bit stiff after the hang dry, put them in the dryer on the "fluff" or no heat setting with a dryer sheet added. If you lack space for hang drying, you can get something like this. But to answer your question, I think the shirt is a touch too slim even pre-wash, but you could wear it no problem.

A drying rack + a couple closet organizers works for me.

Maybe buy a spin dryer for the clothes. This is the one I have but you can find other brands that I am sure will work just as well. Put it in the bathroom, give her a demonstration on how to run it and wring the clothes in it.

Maybe get a clothes drying rack (this is the one I have and I love it!) for when she is done full-clothes showering and wringing out her clothes.

Then drop the subject of why she is showering with clothes on and focus on the part about leaving huge puddles of water all over the bathroom as that is the real risk here. Someone could slip and fall and end up with a concussion or get knocked unconscious.

Hang dry pretty much everything, with t-shirts being an exception. You can do it inside with hangars, but I recommend a drying rack.

Edit: I dry tshirts for 15 in the dryer and then hang dry the rest.

Unrelated but important. If you keep hanging your shirts like that to dry you're gonna end up stretching the fabric. I recommend getting a collapsable drying rack like this

Some form of clear shoe organizers. You can cut them up and assemble them horizontally. You also have a place for phones and IEM cases.

If you want them locked up, a tool chest has the perfect drawer height for wireless mics.

I use a hanging shoe rack that just hangs on the back of my office door.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D58DRVC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_n503DbG72VJMQ

Not sure I'd say BIFL as it's pretty flimsy but it's worked great for a couple years and is an awesome way to organize all my random cables/dongles/adapters/chargers/etc.

Try getting one of those clear organizers that go on the back of doors. I think they are for shoes or something, but look like this:

Do you FOLD your wool shirt/larger garments in the bag before you put them in?

So really this garment bag stops, in a top down washer, the wool from wrapping around/extending around the agitator correct? Eucalan says 'no wash' so is it even suppose to go into the washer, or is just handwash in a big bucket?

Because you're buying a reusable mesh knit bag, vice a disposable garbage bag

Never lose socks again.

Word. Step your washing machine game up with these. Put shoe trees in them and then put one in each bag. Gentle cycle cold water wash. Air dry them with the shoe trees still in.

Laces can be washed separately if the colors are different than the sneakers. Put the laces in a separate bag. Air dry them out of the bag or tumble dry them low heat while still in the bag.

Wash it all in cold water unless you're sanitizing towels or something similarly specific. Put anything delicate in a mesh laundry bag and hang dry it. Also hang dry everything that is tailored or that you love very much, so jeans are also a hang dry item (they're actually quite tailored). Unless it's a knit, something with stretch in it like a sweater, those you lay flat to dry. Don't toss heavy items in the wash with the delicates, even if they are in the mesh bags. If you have the slightest suspicion that a new item of clothing might bleed dye then hand wash it and check, and if it does bleed then continue to hand wash it separately.

Yes!! Great to hang over the door to store sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. Keeps everything organized and off the limited tabletop space

Headset Hooks are off Amazon. 2 pack for $12.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P9GYUE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are pretty cheap plastic and wasn't too happy when I got them. But they do their job and have been holding up fine, so I guess it's worth it considering other headset stands are big and usually $15-20+ each.


As far as the desk extensions, since Ikea removed their Galant lineup, I don't think you can anymore. But they were sold separately a few weeks/months ago. Try craigslist or searching through their online store, might get lucky.

This guy right here

I bought this shoe rack from Amazon.

I organize from top to bottom: boots, heels, wedges, flats, sneakers.

I try to only fill up at least five shelves because years ago I was a shoe addict and I realized that was such a waste of money for me.

Not having the rack filled to capacity means I can put my shoes wherever I want if I'm feeling lazy and organizing it nicely later on isn't a daunting task.

I really like your suggestions and omg you people are so creative :) I was going to suggest painting the shelves and the dresser as well. I love teal and lime green. They should definitely go for lighter colors. They can check Walmart for a duvet. There were very beautiful designs for back to school.

They should go for lighter color curtains and match them with the furniture and shelves or the bedspread. They can even buy some sheer curtains. They give a more fresh and light sense to any room.

I would also suggest putting away your shoes. You can put them under your bed in a box or inside your closet using a door hanging organizer

And yes, please post the results :)

Probably not what you're looking for but I figure the more contributions the better.

You can put your more valuable shoes on the top shelves to avoid the pup going to town on them.

I've used the net bag for garments and plush toys but never to wash a backpack...I'm all grown up now and this is what I currently use...

​

https://www.amazon.com/Laundry-Hosiery-Stocking-Underwear-Lingerie/dp/B017NEYOQQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=DY19AOUZV0O6&keywords=laundry+washing+bag+for+delicates&qid=1562784329&s=gateway&sprefix=washing+bag+%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

I don't wash unmade skeins, but I have read that some people do so in a lingerie bag and it works. If you were to try it, I would recommend washing on the gentle/delicate setting and drying on delicate as well, all in a very small bag. Otherwise with a made product, I just wash on those settings and don't worry about any unraveling unless I did a poor job of making it or the original maker did. The project might feel a bit "slick" to some people, but otherwise I have had success with this.

I wash my aprons, workclothes and maybe jeans/darks together. I buy these mesh cloth bags to put my apron in so they don't tangle up. you can buy them from IKEA or amazon something like this. I put a safety pin in the zipper so that way the aprons don't fall out. I also use a japanese wash board to get stains out of my clothes.

These two items are not just for my aprons, but all my laundry and I had them for a few years. I use it for safely washing my delicates or washing some tough stains and they are wonderful.

And more detergent wont help if the stains are tough and stuck on your clothes. You need to scrub the milk stains out.

i think a mesh wash bag would help with that- something like this

I wash my jerseys just fine without any damage (knock on wood) in the regular wash.

The full protective method of washing them would be to...

Turn the jersey inside out, and wash inside a mesh laundry bag on delicate / gentle.

I've bot a bunch of the cloths because I kept misplacing them. So every once in a while I round them all up toss them in a laundry bag and throw it in the wash.

Any sort of wash bag should do the trick. Before going to uni I bought a bunch of these from the supermarket so I'm pretty sure you can find them anywhere (or just order them online!).

Something like this.

Use a lingerie bag when you machine wash, air dry, and the Last Resort will last forever.

Would you pay half that price? A cheaper bra will fall apart and you'll need to replace it long before something this solidly constructed will. I honestly do not remember how many years ago I bought mine. I've owned more of the Wired because they are much lighter and I've worn them as everyday bras too (it's that comfortable!)

Title9 has a comprehensive return policy. I had one that had a wire snap - I'd worn it many months - but a mid wire break is not from wear but a faulty wire... I brought it to the store and they looked at it and gave me a brand new one.

They have retail stores Anywhere I've lived the last decade has had had one - if you're lucky enough to be near one go try them all on :) They really are worth it.

You can reduce dry time after boiling with one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Mesh-Lingerie-Delicates-Wash-Bag/dp/B0001E83AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379540154&sr=8-1&keywords=delicates+dryer+bag

Maybe try these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001E83AE. I use them for my tank tops and delicates. They keep sleeves from tangling in the washer and dryer. The only downside is that you may need to increase the dry time. Best of luck!

I use these to make my pens, though they won't work great as dividers (atleast not straight dividers) as they need a bend in them to keep them from folding over.

Two packages would make a decent size pen for two baby bunnies, you could even make a second level!

I cannabilized a wire shelf. I think it came from Walmart or something.

https://smile.amazon.com/Whitmor-6070-1723-Storage-Cubes-Black/dp/B000LRBSFI

the easiest way I found was "bunny proofing" anywhere that absolutely needs to have cords, like behind the tv. And keeping other cords out of reach when not in use, like laptop cords and phone chargers.

Behind the TV or anywhere we don't want the bunny to access, we lined the wall with NIC Cubes. These are sold to build little shelves out of, but they are PERFECT for zip-tying together as a barrier to cords, bookshelves (my buns chew on my books), or anything else. I also made their pen out of them, since they're so customizable. This is an earlier pen, but I have since re-arranged it.

/r/rabbits has a lot of good links on how to bun-proof your home and troubleshoot specific issues!

I use a set of wire shelves and can keep a couple dozen skeins/balls per cube. When the skeins are placed front-to-back, I can even see all of them and just grab the one I want.

I like these wire style ones since you can disassemble them for moving. A cheap file box is good too.

I'm not sure you would need to fix the extra board. It might just lay on top of the mantle. If not, as said, holes in the wall are less difficult to deal with. Or I wonder if you could do something clever with something like this...

> as long as your not stressing any wires i think it would be fine to just. i used this for a while for my logitech g430 headphones http://www.amazon.com/Command-Large-Plastic-Hooks-White/dp/B000M3V8XI not sure how well it would work for the hyperx

I've had mine for a while now (8 months) and I can safely say they're quite durable by themselves, even dropped it a few times. If you're worried about damaging it, I advise getting some adhesive hooks and hanging off of that.

I use these hooks on an ikea storage thingy and it's been rock solid for months. Use two, one for both of the remotes and the other for the HMD. Hang by the rear of the headband (the triangle hole thingy).

[Here's a pic of the jersey hanging up and a pic of the hook] (http://imgur.com/a/jeKXW). You can find them literally anywhere. I think I got mine at target and they're like 6 bucks for a pack of 2.

Edit: the hooks on amazon. They work like a charm and they are cheap as hell.

I use standard 3M wall hooks (large size). They fit the ring on top of the wands perfectly, and the strap on the headset sits comfortably on them as well.

Three of these bad boys: http://www.amazon.com/Command-Large-Plastic-Hooks-White/dp/B000M3V8XI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452097700&sr=8-4&keywords=Command+hooks

Well, I used to have a blue one of these, and it held up really well, so I have to recommend it. You can get them cheaper at places like Target, though.

This sort of container is the same concept, more stackable, but less convenient. It's also cheaper in some stores.

If you want to go more fancy, this is a spiffy stackable container. The top is a lid that comes off. My parents have one, and it's pretty nice.

Thanks for the contest!

I like these things, and you can usually get them in lots of sizes You could always grab a few, too. :) i

Edit: Saw that you linked them already I'll look around some more.

You could probably try something like a book shelf. I'm not sure how else you could store them without stacking besides that or a wall rack.

This might work!

So after a quick search I saw these which are really neat, and if you wanna display I saw these nice shelves, also I think the ones you liked are good too even if its plastic here are some slightly cheaper ones in case you decide on those.

I hope you find something you like :)

The not cheap, but really cool solution.

The cheap solution

Honestly, we don't really use the back door much. On our last few trips, we actually put a set of plastic drawers (like this one) in front of the door for a little more storage. It's nice to be able to open both doors for a breeze though.

The front door is far enough away from the bunks that we don't wake the kids up. It also helps to really tire them out. Run around all day, go swimming if you can, etc. Also, we have one of these night light switches down by the floor right next to the front door. It's enough light that we can come in and grab something or see our way to the bathroom without turning on a light.

It can be a plastic drawer type thing you stick in that's not permanently mounted.

You can hang pot lids on doors with 3M hooks

How about those Sterilite drawer carts, like these ? They vary by height, width, depth. You can easity cut holes in the back for cables. Stick the units in each drawer with controllers and accessories. Pull them out when you play. Close them up and wheel them back when you're done.

1. Iron X is a completely different product than Sonax. Iron X is for decontamination and is more for your paint where as Sonax is an actual cleaner that is designed to work on your wheels.
   
   
2. The very best spray bottles you can get for the money are the HDX Widemouth Sprayers.
   
   
3. Check Harbor Frieght for M105 /M205 and use the digital 20% off coupon. You will have to make 2 seperate trips inside but you can use the same digital coupon from your phone.
   
   
4. Foaming guns are a good thing to have. If it is for a pressure washer, make sure you get the short handle with the largest capacity bottle you can get. When you try and put those things on the end of the PW wand, it will spin in the collet and not go where you are wanting it to. This is the one that I have.
   And this is the handle for the unit
   
   
5. Not sure what pads you are referring to but if you are talking about buffer pads, then the best deal flying on what I think are the best pads out there are the Buff N Shine multiple pad pack
   
   
6. I keep the majority of my equipment in a couple of Husky Job Boxes
   
   
7. I keep my pads and MF towels in a couple of these Sterilite Drawer Carts
   
   
8. To keep mold and mildew out of all of my totes and carts, I also throw in some Silica packs
   
   
9. For all of my chemicals and supplies I keep everything on a simple set of Metal Shelving
   
   Best of luck.

I forgot to consider you might be out of the U.S, but my tips should still apply.

This might sound obvious but don't overpack clothes. Some of my roommates and myself included brought so many clothes that we don't use and it's just taking up space.

For kitchen use, take your own utensils but just one of each you're not going to need more than that trust me. For kitchen equipment like pans and pots, if your buddys do get in coordinate who takes what so you don't have multiples.

In the beginning it's all about taking what's absolutely essential, if you're able to go home during breaks that's when you bring some more stuff if you have the space.

I'm gonna link some stuff in a moment that you should absolutely consider buying. They're going to be amazon links but big chain stores in your area should carry similar products.

These three products fold so they're easy to pack in any suitcase.

Thanks for the contest! And making me all nervous :x lol

Our baby is also going without a nursery for the first couple of months. We bought a storage bin for clothes for the future and another one for our room for newborn and 0-3 stuff that looks like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MPQ2S2/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1417895515&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

We will store the bin on the back porch and the bin with the newborn clothes next to the bassinet in our room.

We cleared half the dresser for the changing pad. underneath her bassinet are all the changing supplies.

In terms of toys and swings etc, that's all in storage in the basement and will come up on an as-needed basis, and will probably get stored in a closet or in her room right after we get it painted and the floor cleaned.

Same situation, I got something like this from Home Depot, and slid it under my home office desk (where she never looks).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MPQ2S2/ref=mw_dp_img?is=l&qid=1374962910&sr=8-4

This would be handy

You could even keep your games organized and what not!

these seem like they would be perfect.

I would love a gift card if I win please.

If you are looking for a temporary permanent solution Command strips work wonders. I've nailed a few USB hubs down with them. No marks when you remove them either.

> I'd set one of my sensors right on top of the thermostat

Don't do this. Heat rises. Heat from the thermostat will affect the sensor. Stick on the wall next to the ecobee3 using a Command Strip or something else that won't leave a mark when you remove it.

[I wondered the same thing earlier] (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/47503q/help_question_for_the_modders_and_custom_builders/). I'm inclined to take a0-c's advice and just do the command strips. They do make those strips without the hooks included.

They don't damage any surface. (thought you Americans would be pretty cluey about 3M products)

https://www.amazon.com/Command-Refill-Strips-Medium-9-Strips/dp/B0014CQGW4/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1497431231&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=3m+command

3M command strips are what you want.
I mount all my door/window sensors + IR sensors with them.

http://www.amazon.com/Command-Medium-Mounting-Refill-9-Strip/dp/B0014CQGW4/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1457396625&sr=1-1&keywords=3m+command+strips

The Planeswalker art above the TV are actually posters. You could try multiple 3M sticky strips https://www.amazon.com/Command-Refill-Strips-Medium-9-Strips/dp/B0014CQGW4
might take a few since playmats are heavier.

(sorry - thought this got eaten in a spam filter and was sad)
This is 3M magic adhesive that I have used before and doesn't cause damage when removed a year after application.

My flatmate speculates the wall is made of plaster, if that helps.

I was planning on using either:
large 3m strips
which are rated by 3M at 5 lbs/strip, and put 9 strips/board, and maybe fill in the gaps with something that comes 9 strips/pack like these medium strips (3lbs/strip)

I got my mount over the weekend but adhesive was stuck to the paper and I couldn't take it off. I ended up taking off all the foam and replaced it with Command Medium Mounting Strips and it seems to be holding up.

Yeah. Just use those same Command Refill Strips. Each strip holds 1-2 lbs. They are safe for painted drywall and do not leave a residue when removed.

In fact, I used two of them to adhere the USB Charger behind my dresser. I'm sure 4 strips would be plenty to adhere a router to the wall.

Or get a collapsible clothes drying rack like this one. This is the exact one I use and it has saved me tons of dress shirts from being shrunk.

Whitmor 6023-741 Folding Clothes Drying Rack, White by Whitmor http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UE8ILI/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Zdigtb0X49V5E

I use one of these:racks and I got to admit I like it. I put my laundry on it and then put it under a ceiling fan for an few hours then hang it all up. Works great.

dam ur a cleaning professional i'd say.

i think i understand washing better but what about air drying? im mostly concerned about my supreme box logo hoodies. i got these wooden hangers from amazon. would they be good enough to hang dry some thick bogo hoodies, without damaging them (like shoulder bumps)? or should I try air drying them on a folding rack like this.

Outside. We have small patio area outside our backdoor where we set up a collapsible drying rack. If it gets too windy it can be blown over, but it generally does the job. Our model is pretty close to this one: http://amzn.com/B001UE8ILI

There are rods on the interior as well that will still get somewhat dried, but the real sunning benefits goes to the diapers on the top and sides facing the sun. I generally prioritize placement for particularly stained diapers.

Storage

futz I got no MP3's so if I win give it to some one else or get me a .15 gift card :P

storage racks like https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Double-Freestanding-Storage-Organizer/dp/B002DGM4IU/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1536541075&sr=1-7&keywords=clothes%2Brack&th=1 are useful, give each shelf a purpose for an item and put them there. You can use hangers and s-hooks to hang smaller things.


I also have the most successed staying organized when I put things on hooks, and put them on the wal. Give everything a home and it makes cleaning so much easier.

:( I'm sorry. I know how frustrating that can be! I recently got some new household organization things, and there are a few more on my "to-get" list. Maybe you could benefit from some of them, too? Especially with having so little storage space!

• 5-tier closet organizer to put a bunch of shit on so you'll have more room for a bunch of other shit, and not lose half your shit all the time! (or the bonus version: garment racks WITH built in 5-tier shelf!
  
• Over the door organizer! You can use these for shoes, cleaning supplies, bathroom/hair/makeup stuff, art/craft supplies, tiny things in the kids' rooms, anything!
  
• Stackable letter trays - I got 6 of these and use 3 of them for my school papers and 3 of them for papers/mail at home and have them labeled with my name on one, Keagan's name on another, and "Kids" on the last one. That way I have a place to put all of the papers as they come in and don't end up leaving them all over the tables/counters/everywhere else!
  
• Stacking drawers for small things like notebooks, pens, other small stuff you're always losing. I'm using mine for my school badge and clinical notepad/pen right now, as well as bobby pins/hair ties and little alcohol prep pads.
  
• When all else fails, BASKETS! :D
  
  Hopefully some of that will help! :)

I have something like this in my room, which is good for storage and pretty cheap. Look at the customer review images for some good ideas and inspiration!

This is good for organizing stuff in your kitchen cabinets.

Sounds like the dryer may have got mold or something in it. You can hang dry your clothes on a line, or a clothing drying rack like this;

( https://www.amazon.com/Honey-Can-Do-DRY-01610-Heavy-Gullwing-Drying/dp/B00383O2UU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473543642&sr=8-3&keywords=Clothing+drying+rack)

I put up strong closet rod mounts over my bathtub running longwise then I drop in a long closet rod when I need to dry stuff. When done, I put the rod in a closet.

I bring stuff in, wash it in the tub then hang it to dry over the tub.

You need to hit studs with the screws holding the closet rod holders or it won't bear the weight. And it helps to not have too much stuff hanging there or have another shower to use while everything dries but it works well.

EDIT: I use this for my drysuit.

http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Can-Do-DRY-01610-Heavy-Gullwing-Drying/dp/B00383O2UU/ref=zg_bs_695488011_1

My wife and I have two of these and they are amazing - they hold soo much clothes and fold up flat.

Yeah so did mine, but I never knew it was a problem until I got tall which wasn't until I was like 17 (I was a little late). The drying rack really is awesome. Apparently outside of Canada/US (especially in Korea/Japan) they are everywhere.

We have one of these types but the taller standup ones like this also work in small spaces, though for way less clothes.

One of these works fairly well for drying, and won't boost your electric bills. Clothes might take up to a day to dry, but it's also much gentler on fabrics compared to a tumble dry.

I'd say forget about the dryer, something like this costs a lot less to buy and is free to use.

This is the one I have, but unfortunately it's not available right now.

This rack is the most sturdy one I've had so far, if you're in the market for one of those as well.

I use this trash can, keeps my 60lb black lab out of the trash. Just have to remember to lock it when you aren't home.

https://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Semi-Round-Trash-Black-Plastic/dp/B003VWMS5E

I have a Simple Human with a locking lid and a foot pedal that would make a good CD bin. The Planet Wise liner we use would def fit it. We use it for our actual trash, I love it. We just have a generic white trash bin for our diapers, it works fine.

This is the one we have

Something like this would be perfect, but this one is too expensive for me: http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Semi-Round-Trash-Black-Plastic/dp/B003VWMS5E

We got one with a locking lid. It's a Simple Human trash can that my mom got us because we'd rather complain than spend $50 on a trash can and she'd rather spend the money than listen to us complain.

Hey, I've got both a GP mix (91lbs) and a cat that like to get into the trash. We had to get one that is made well and has a lock on it. I love my trashcan. :)

I'm not home atm, but I'm pretty sure this is the one we have: https://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Gallon-Semi-Round-Kitchen-Plastic/dp/B003VWMS5E/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=trash+can+locking+lid&qid=1554572689&s=gateway&sr=8-3

I also have a SimpleHuman trash can. This one, specifically.

Though I've only really had it a month, I can assure you I did a great deal of research on trash cans before buying it, as the hinge of my last step can would snag the bag, tear it, and cause depression.

SimpleHuman is a great brand and they have awesome warranties.

Not sure what youre going for or have looked at. This might be way off, but i looked up 'j hook' and these are pretty nice id buy 2 of them.

The hooks are sort of like this, but dual single hooks rather than a double hook (although the double would work fine if balanced properly):

If you have a garage, the simplest way is a couple of these bike hooks, of course I only used them for like 2-3 sticks at a time, but I imagine there'd be larger hooks you could use.

10 easy things

This is a great desk organizer.

Easy boosters

Cute baby animal!

I keep most of my pens, pencils, airbrush equipment, markers, inks, and smaller items inside these, I like the black ones, and the larger/oddly shaped items like spray paint, gesso, palettes, and acrylics get tossed into these folding canvas boxes you can find pretty much anywhere now. I can fit one of each side by side on my shelves and they keep everything neat and organized. I have 4 of the canvas containers and 3 of the Sterilite drawers along side all my art books and video games on these dinky waist high shelves I got at Target. You'd be surprised how much stuff you can cram into them.

My drawing desk is just a smallish dinner table I bought for $10 bucks, best deal ever! On it, I keep a rotating pencil holder from Office Depot that holds my brushes, rulers, and nib holders. I also have a few jars of water for water coloring, two lamps, and some of those wooden hands/mannequins for still lifes on there. I nailed some nails to the side of the table to hang a pencil case filled with the essentials for when I'm traveling or want to paint/sketch outside, I also have some nails for artist's tape, my heat gun, and a dust brush.

I generally don't work on paper larger than 9x12, so most of my pads of paper and sketch books go right in my shelf standing up.

I can't stand working in a messy studio or losing any of my supplies, so having multiple drawers and boxes where I can just throw things into and sort them out later is perfect for me. I really recommend the Sterilite drawers. They have them at Target and Walmart and come in different colors.

what if I have started doing for pen parts is I bought some small plastic drawers like these: https://www.amazon.com/STERILITE-Drawer-Mini-20738006-Clear/dp/B006SOJFDA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481388074&sr=8-2&keywords=small+drawers

and hotglued in dividers made from some 1/4" plywood.

Each pen type gets its own drawer, and every part from that pen gets its own section in the drawer. So when I get a shipment of pen parts, I divide them up between the drawers and dividers, so when I am working on a specific pen I just pull out 1 of each part and assemble.

My blanks are still just in a pile with there species written on the side though.

I can't take pictures as they're currently across the country, but I use something very similar to these for storage. They fit the normal human-size figures well, and everything taller went into a couple separate storage bins.

I second the wiremold recommendation, I used one in the past and it served it purpose well. Also you might look at Command Cord Clips, small plastic clips with an adhesive back to go up walls, desks, etc without having to put holes in things. They breakaway easy if someone trips/snags on the cord (sometimes a good thing) and the adhesive comes off clean when you need to remove them.

I think you will appreciate these instead of those nails. http://www.amazon.com/Command-Small-Clips-Clear-8-Clip/dp/B0084M696K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407009922&sr=8-1&keywords=command+small+cord+clips

Do you mean to say that you have the cable just hanging down from the rear view mirror, or did you at least pinch it along the edge of the ceiling and A-pillar? Because four dollars' worth of 3M cord clips did absolutely wonderfully for my setup... although I did find that Gorilla Mounting Tape works better than 3M's supplied adhesive strips.

Command Strips are safe for your banister and could help support the vine without creating an eye sore.

The smallest I am aware of is 3m command cord clips.

I need to run an ethernet cable about 50 ft along a wall, and I was wondering if anybody had some good recommendations for some wall cable holders that won't damage the paint. I was looking at something like these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084M696K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Link to the wall clips. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084M696K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had to break off a little part of the clip with some pliers to get things to sit right.

Until recently, in one of these stacks of drawers. I decided I wanted to free up more space on my desk and switched to a wall rack I made at work.It's sort of like a nailpolish rack.

I have two of these. They are very sturdy and claim to hold 102 bottles, but I fit just shy of 100 bottles in each. One row can hold 17 Essie bottles or 14 OPI bottles or 14 Orly bottles or 14 Nicole by OPI bottles.

Gotta love nail polish racks

Use a nail polish rack. They can be found on eBay cheaper.

I have one of these they are worth every penny! I have one of these and two home made wooden racks my father in law made me. I love them! It keeps my bottles out where I can see all the colors and they are easily reachable. Best investment ever!! I much prefer it over ones in drawers.

Thanks! Its super useful lol. I got my rack as a Christmas gift but I was told it was from Amazon. The box said it holds about 100 polishes, which doesn't hold my entire collection as you can see. But I like how you can clearly see each bottle with this rack.

Just want to make a suggestion. Nothing wrong with wanting to save money on drying clothes, but can I suggest a rack to do it indoors? Like this one from Amazon.

Great idea. Seems like something I should have thought of. I was trying to be too specific to MF towels :).
Something similar to this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO

Cold Water and do not use the dryer. Hang them one something like this

Foldable drying racks - they take very little place when not fully executed and dry a good bit of clothes when they are

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Foldable-Drying-Rack-White/dp/B00H7P1GPO/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=drying+rack&qid=1569603091&rnid=2941120011&s=home-garden&sr=1-4

I use this, works well for me

Get yourself a drying rack and set a fan next to it. Mainly for your clothes but it works for shoes and helmets too.

I had a combo washer/dryer and the dryer stopped working. So I bought a drying rack to hang dry towels, socks and underwear and a garment rack to dry pants and shirts on hangers. This drying rack and this garment rack are similar to the ones I bought.

> ... than sticking a TV on the door of a refrigerator.

Don't buy them.

> However, if I could actually dry some clothes in a dryer that didn't make the disk on my electric meter spin at the speed of light?

Here is a solution which will make your electric meter stop spinning: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Foldable-Drying-Rack-White/dp/B00H7P1GPO/

> I mean, when was the last time anyone did anything innovative with a washer and a dryer? Or a dishwasher? Or a stove?

They do. The most energy efficient dishwashers, dryers and washing machines need around half the energy than models from 10 years ago. As for your stove ... we are already quite good in transforming electric energy into heat. There is not much you can improve.

Nah, I just use a regular old foldable drying rack, like this. I might have more success with a better/advanced drying rack but this has worked fine for me for years. My games are usually at night, so I come home, shower, then set up the drying rack and leave it overnight. By morning it is usually dried out enough. The bathroom smells for for a few more hours after removing the equipment but its contained and my morning shit smells worse.

The other poster's idea about adding a dehumidifier also sounds like a good idea and I might try that.

I use something like this. I dry all my merino wool items on there as well. If you dry you boxers to much they will start to pill.

You know what would also work. And I'll confirm this. Currently buying 2 more.

But I think this would work great.

I'm thinking one by itself, you can use it in three ways. Put a very thick blanket on top of it and you can actually :

1. Use it as a blanket fort
   
2. Put it on top of your desk on the side and it will serve as a way to absorb sound. It's just a huge barrier and it sits perfectly fine on top of a desk
   
   ​
   
   But I'm thinking.......three would be awesome. And it's $17 each. So if you get three of those. One in front. One on the left. One on the right. And layer it with blankets, it should work. For added sound absorption, add blankets on the top too connecting all three. It could serve as a huge blanket fort or it could basically serve as a huge sound absorber on all areas. I'll confirm this on Wednesday but it should work. This would be cheaper and less hassle than a PVC booth.

Nice. I was looking into solutions for this myself. Don't want to frame them because I want to be able to take them down and listen to them easily. Was thinking about trying something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/AlbumMount-Mount-Display-Records-Covers/dp/B00IBZ1CDK/

I kind of like the 3d effect.

Well honestly I wasn't planning to buy vinyl a bunch either and I found an item that let you hang it on the wall (https://www.amazon.com/AlbumMount-Adjustable-Display-Records-Covers/dp/B00IBZ1CDK).

Which is what I was going to do, I don't even own any vinyls and really only have one in mind (https://ghost-ramp.myshopify.com/products/hollowknight)

So I really don't know when I'd get more, I just don't want the record messing up or anything cause of the cheaper smaller ones.

Thanks for your suggestion though I'll look into the vertical ones.

What's a good way to hang vinyl on my wall?
I like these, but they're really pretty expensive. Any alternatives?

I use these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IBZ1CDK/?coliid=I1031U3QY0W4NP&colid=CXJSFYSB3B6R&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

This with command strips.

AlbumMount on Amazon

Not in frames, but on mounts!

I found them on amazon, really easy to use.

I actually have one that mounts to the side of my desk, it's a sticky pad attachment here is a link Stick-on Headphone Hooks 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P9GYUE2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0ia6xbBTSYNMG
I would highly reccomend it if you have space for it. I used to use one that is just a stand on my desk and using this new one allowed me to use dual monitors

Thank you

I use these. They're ok for $10, my only complaint is that it kinda kills the headband on my M50 due to the extra force on it. I don't have the room for headphone stands so I'm stuck with hangers until I change my living arrangements.

I would use something like to dry it inside. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00383O2UU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ( you can buy it here) https://jet.com/product/detail/24063100b61645478bd6eafd162dcce1?jcmp=afl:link:3*BIL10dmOI:na:na:na&siteID=3.BIL10dmOI-v4UR2Qkok5fBK_cAG_1bPg

I've been eyeing these, though I don't have any experience with them, but the reviews look good.

Its just a shoe organizer, you can get them lots of places but there is one for $8

I use an over-the-door shoe organizer (kinds like this https://www.amazon.com/24-Pockets-SimpleHouseware-Crystal-Organizer/dp/B01D58DRVC/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ACYNQX4XD6ACV7ZJ670T) for most of my gear. The helmet hangs on the bike, tools are always packed in the hydration bag. There's another set of tools in the bag on my commuter bike.

I saw a comment that says you have a pantry--are you using the door? My spice area was a huge mess until we hung a shoe organizer on the inside of the pantry door. Clear, large pockets mean we can see everything easily. Like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/24-Pockets-SimpleHouseware-Crystal-Organizer/dp/B01D58DRVC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542510220&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=shoe+organizer&dpPl=1&dpID=41djiRmreZL&ref=plSrch

stop being a noob and get a shoe rack:

Get a Mesh Laundry bag like this that you can put your socks in and throw in the wash. You'll never lose a sock again.
