Dude, you need to get out of there ASAP. Contact your local housing board, contact a local attorney for a free consultation, this is a really big deal and just changing your diet is not gonna help. If the infestation is as bad as you say AND the landlord has failed to do anything about it, you are usually open to legal recourse. Review your lease with an attorney and see what recourse you have.
If you're seeing multiple out in the open, thats a really bad sign. Roaches don't like being out in the open and will only really go out in the open if theres a real infestation.
With that being said, below check out the best most effective ways to make your house as unlivable as possible for those sons of bitches:
The key to taking care of the roaches is essentially making your house a living hell for them to live in.
First, Determine the kind of roach you have. German roaches are the most common, and tend to be the ones found in apartments.
Second-of-ly, Throw out any and all cardboard you have. They live on the glue holding it together. This means ALL of it, every old amazon box, cereal box, shoe box, old pizza box, gift box from your aunt you wanted to reuse for your other nephews birthday... throw all that shit out. I hope you were planning on spring cleaning because that's next.
Once you've thrown out all your cardboard, I highly suggest deep cleaning the entire apartment, get up every single crumb you can, do it around the entrance to your apartment, do it on every window sil, every shelf. Just....everywhere. Every crumb, hair, and just general shit you pick up is one less morsel for them to eat.
Clean every single dish, bowl, culterly, all of your dishes and put them in large storage bins something like this.
Now, go through your fridge and remove everything, clean the entire fridge out. If you can empty it I would, though this is /r/budgetfood so just I'm sure others will disagree if this is needed. All of your canned good, rice, pantry crap go into another empty bin. Put these in the middle of your living room floor.
Move all your furniture away from the walls and try to get as much of it off the floor as possible. Try to remove as many "hiding spaces" as possible.
Got textbooks, novels, bibles or any other book that has glue in it? Either throw them away or check and comb every single page for roach eggs. They like to lay them deeeep inside the bindings. Once searched, put them in a bin and stack with the rest of your stuff.
At this point, see if your landlord will come in and fill any open holes in the apartment, this includes pipes for plumbing, heater pipes coming out of drywall, underneath dishwasher, cabinet seams. Basically anything that can be caulked should be. If your landlord is an ass and doesn't want to/won't its gonna make this next part harder but not undoable.
So now that's done, you're next gonna wanna buy these two things:
Depending on the size of your place, a shit ton of boric acid
a drill
A Powder duster
The boric acid dries out and fucks up the roaches exoskeleton and they then ingest it causing themselves to (hopefully painful) death.
Take the boric acid and cover your entire floor with it. You don't need to use the duster quite yet, but just make sure your floor is completely covered. Next cover your furniture. In your now empty pantry and drawers, cover them in boric acid. This includes bath tubs, under the sinks, around the toilet etc.
Now at the bottom of one of your walls take your drill and drill a hole into your wall deep enough to get to the internals. Using the powder duster filled with boric acid, shoot the powder up into the wall. The idea is to coat the entire inside with it. It more important to get the acid everywhere. After your first hole, move about 8inches to a foot in either direction and continue spraying internally in the wall. continue to do this until every walls inside is covered in boric acid.
So now the adults are slowly on their way to perish, Nope the fuck out of your apartment for a few days, if you can't for some reason leave for a few days, in the very least do not bring any food, water, plastic, glue, boxes, paper, anything new into the house. Trash should be taken out multiple times a day and laundry needs to be stored in ziploc bags.
Okay, so now the adults should be slowly dying. Unfortunately, prior to their death, besides eating all of your food, they've been nonstop fucking and laying eggs all over your house. So now your house is literally about to be filled with shitty roach orphans and outside of going back in time and trying to teach the roaches in your apartment safe sex methods, there isn't much you can do to stop them from hatching.
Unfortunately this means in about 10-20 days after your initial treatment, you'll have to do the entire thing again. After that, outside of maintaining an impeccably clean apartment your roach problem should become more bearable. Sadly, unless EVERYONE in your building follows the above steps, you'll always have that problem.
Source: Dealt with these little shits for about 6 months, every treatment I basically grilled the bug guy to give me as much info as possible on roaches....
Plenty of people use tupperdors/coolerdors for long term storage. There's nothing wrong with it.
There's also nothing wrong with storing the cigars loose, as opposed to in the boxes. If this makes them all fit in your existing tupperdor, go for it.
You can also just get a bigger tupperdor. I use one of THESE and am perfectly happy with it.
You can also go with a large 'igloo'-type cooler if you deal with crazy temperature swings in your house.
Spanish cedar helps to stabilize humidity a little bit but its' not a magic material. Your bovedas are going to do more to maintain stable humidity than the spanish cedar ever would.
Wineadors are nice for maintaining stable temperature... unless your power flickers. Most of them automatically reset to the lowest temperature setting when they turn back on from a power failure. You'd be wise to purchase a cheap UPS battery backup to run your wine cooler on, if you go that route.
Most of the hardcore collectors I know do not go the fancy route for storage. Large tupperdors and coolerdors with bovedas are far more common. They do just as good a job for long term storage, and allow you to spend the extra money on cigars instead of fancy storage containers.
Okay, you can't go wrong with a monotub then. Most commercial growers I know use them because they're fairly bullet proof (this is an extremely relative term for mushies) and are low cost. To get going you'll need the following, please be aware that there are no real shortcuts and cutting costs initially will ultimately cost you time and money. Rather get the correct kit second hand, than substitute with an inferior product.
Check Out Roger Rabbit's How to Grow Mushrooms Videos They're old and cheesy, but the advice is rock solid. You may have to torrent full copies, I'll leave that in your hands.
Personally, I found growing mushrooms to be a challenge. It's not difficult, once you know how to do it, but it fucking is when you don't. For me, forums were a total cluster fuck. Shroomery was the worst. There's tons of incredible growers there, but also a lot of dickheads who post teks for the sake of posting teks. Not knowing the difference between a dickhead tek and a pro tek was my downfall. Then one day, a buddy showed me where I was going wrong, and it all clicked into place very quickly. I strongly recommend RRs Vids for the first timer. They'll give you a good understanding of the basics and get you to a crop. Feel free to PM me for additional help, especially when you get to prepping grain.
Stay away from the exotic strains for now. Get cubensis. Get Amazons (They're my favourite, and the mycelium is aggressive which makes it a little more forgiving to the beginner). Galandoi ALT7 (truffles) are super easy too, because you don't fruit them. They just take a lot longer.
Using the kit I've outlined you should be able to produce 100 - 200g of dry shrooms within six weeks. I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of things, please watch the videos. When you get the inevitable trichoderma, don't give up. I really sucked at growing shrooms when i started. Keep logs, understand sterile technique, and keep pushing. It'll come. Ultimately, I ended up doing 40 tubs at a time with loads of strains running at a time. I do not recommend this, but I was able to pay for my wedding and an epic honeymoon over 16 weeks of growing hard

your heating system and temperatures are a problem. your equipment to monitor your temperature and humidity is a problem. your humidity maintenance is a problem. your log hide is a problem. your small water dish is a problem. your lid clips are a problem.
my advice is to ditch the tank and start over. it's possible to make glass tanks with screen lids work for ball pythons, but it requires a lot of modification and maintenance. many of the tricks to increase heat will decrease humidity, and it becomes this domino effect you have to balance properly or everything falls to pieces. a plastic setup is your best bet right now. plastic is a better insulator for heat, and with a tub you have 100% control over the air flow [and therefor 100% control over the humidity] because you have to drill your own air holes. here's a list of basic necessities for a low budget:
Maybe a large plastic storage box that has a gasket seal, that you can pipck up at a home improvement store and put cardboard boxes inside that,
Example: https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-WeatherShield-Quart-Storage-Clear/dp/B00MWTJXP0/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1527304184&sr=1-4&keywords=seal+plastic+box
Plastic bins are usually the best way to go, no small holes for the tiny pieces to get through.

I realize you probably don't need a 12-pack, I'm just showing you what I'm on about.
If he's an avid builder, you might want to try sorting the pieces into drawers like this:

Makes it much easier to find pieces than endlessly pawing through a bucket of all your bricks.
I have a 12 yr old cat that started doing the same thing. There can be many issues that are leading up to this. I'll post more after I'm done eating dinner. Just know that it's absolutely possible (and quite likely) to fix this situation!
Edit:
Ok, so given what you're saying, this sounds like it's stress based behavior. The first thing that any vet is going to say is:
I know that she's already spent a lot of mental energy (and at least some money) on this situation, but it will take patience for her to figure out what can change to help her cat cope with this. Cats are very social creatures, and in your friend's case she has a 15 year bond with this cat. She has been this cats only friend and social companion for its entire life, so of course bringing a baby into the mix (who she now has to focus her attention on, and who all home routines now revolve around) stresses the cat out.
If your friend would like to talk, or if she has any specific questions, shoot me a message. If she wants to talk over the phone, I'd be happy to help Q&A there too. I'm not a vet, I'm not even a crazy cat lady (for one, I'm a guy). I'm just an IT guy with 2 old cats who went through a lot to figure out what was wrong with them.
This tank is referenced a lot. I'll give you the bullet points on why it might not be ideal:
So, just as a quick reference, here's what you might spend on a basic ball python set up:
Plastic enclosure, or a glass one bought on craigslist if you insist on glass: $0-$20.
2 hiding spots: $0-$20. You can make them for FREE by finding some cardboard boxes and cutting some holes in them.
A good UTH for a small tank: $25-$30 including shipping.
Shredded Aspen: $10
Water bowl: $0-$5. You probably have something in your house that will do.
A thermostat: $30 JumpStart Thermostat on Amazon.
Filtered Spring Water: $1 at the grocery store for a gallon.
Total: $71-$106, for a better setup than you would get in this kit, and then you have $68 with which to get a snake. Now, if you do end up needing another heat source to keep the tank warm enough, then it will be a bit more expensive. Maybe another $50, for a ceramic heat emitter, lamp, and another thermostat.
So, could a ball python live in the terrarium with the kit set up? I guess, but it's not the best thing for a ball python, and you could do it cheaper, snake included. Heck, on craigslist in my area someone is selling a ball python in a 50 gallon tank with some of the better items I mentioned for $75. If I were in the market for a ball python I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Since you said you don't know much about ball pythons specifically, I would once again, read the care sheets in the side bar. I would compare them to corn snakes, which also get pretty big, have lower heat and humidity requirements, and are less picky eaters.
Not OP, but we use something like [this] (https://smile.amazon.com/STERILITE-17511712-Clearview-Storage-Container/dp/B007IT6JB0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1536005083&sr=8-7&keywords=plastic+bin&dpID=31eX-1NIETL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) and we measure out their daily servings into a Ziploc bag and then toss the bags into the bin with leashes and other dog supplies. They basically have their own camping bin and we just add food and treats to it before we leave each time.
Here's the blog post text:
Our wooden donation crate
Have you ever decided to donate an unwanted item only to forget about it entirely until you found it again months later sill taking up space in a corner somewhere in your house? Have you ever started to fill up a cardboard box with stuff to donate, only to find yourself taking things in and out of the box a few weeks later, unsure of which items you finally decided to keep, donate or throw away? Has your partner or roommate ever accidentally given away an object of yours, stating that they thought you had recently made passing comment about wanting to get rid of it?
If so, I have a simple solution: modify a wooden crate to make it into a permanent donation bin.
There’s a bright orange wooden crate which has lived in a dedicated space at the bottom of one of our closets for the last two years. This is our donation box. We call it the “orange crate”. It has a sole one purpose: everything that goes in it is donated. No exceptions. My partner and I are never unsure about the fate of items which end up in the orange crate: items that are placed in it will eventually be donated (usually at the local thrift store).
Why use a wooden crate?
I selected a wooden crate as the box because those are relatively cheap, they have sturdy handles, they’re able to hold heavy items, liquids won’t damage them (contrary to cardboard boxes), they hold no smells, items at the bottom of the box can be seen through the wooden slits, and theses cases can last for multiple generations since you can easily repair them.
Why paint it orange?
I spray painted the wooden crate a bright orange so that there will never be any ambiguity with other crates or boxes in our house; it is clear that this crate is not a storage container which can be used for moving or storing various items. I never have to worry about whether or not my partner forgot about what will happen to stuff that is placed in the only bright orange wooden crate that we own.
How did you make it?
Step 1: Choose a crate
First, select your crate size and type. We went with a basic pine crate that measures 18” x 12.5” X 9.5” but there are crates made of different woods and of different sizes. Find what works best for you.
Step 2: Sanding
Then, you’ll want to sand it to get rid of rough surfaces and get the handles nice and smooth for splinter free transportation.
Step 3: Painting
When you’re ready to paint, get some cardboard boxes or plastic sheets to cover the floor and one or two sides of where you decide to work and get spraying. Follow the distance and spray patters as directed on the can. Ideally you should paint outside or in a well-ventilated space. I ended up needing two cans of oil aerosol paint to get a nice even coat on every surface of the crate, inside and out. Let the crate dry for approximately 72 hours to make sure the paint doesn’t transfer onto other surfaces or objects. I decided not to prime or seal the crate because I wanted to keep costs down on this project. I wouldn’t add any of those steps if I had to make another one; it has held up perfectly so far.
Step 4. Furniture glides
Once everything is dry, stick some plastic furniture glides beneath each corner of the crate so that it can easily be moved around on the floor or in your car trunk, and to help protect it from rough surfaces (such as pavement).
A few extra features
So, our orange crate functions according to a basic rule which never changes: items placed in it are to be donated. However, over time, a few extra features have been added.
First, there’s a binder clip which holds rebate cards for our local thrift store. It always stays clipped to one of the walls of the crate. Whenever we go there to empty out the crate, a staff member punches one or several holes in the card. Once the card is full, it can be applied to purchases during a future visit to their store. What we do is fill up those cards each time we go to empty our orange crate and then we donate the cards to a local non-profit which provides free furniture and clothing to those in need. Staff or volunteers at the non-profit can then use them themselves to purchase items for clients or pass the cards on to their clients. It’s best to keep the rebate cards with the box so that the cards can be punched when we go to the thrift store, aren’t lost, forgotten at home before leaving with the crate or accidentally placed in my partner’s wallet, etc.
Second, I also keep a stack of orange stickers with the binder clip so that we can identify larger items for donation that don’t fit in the crate. The larger items are usually kept near the crate so that they’re brought along when one of us makes a trip to the thrift store. I’m using some old post-it stickers for now but I’ll eventually get some large orange stickers that don’t need additional tape to hold well.
Finally, I have a monthly recurring task on my to-do app to drop off the orange crate at the nearby thrift store. This helps ensure that the box doesn’t overflow and that items which might happen to be near the filled-up crate aren’t accidentally picked up and donated when we take the crate to go empty it at the thrift store.

My husband keeps a cable bag too! It's saved the day more than once. But if it's getting too big, it's time to get rid of duplicates... or at least only keeping a 3, 6, and 9' of each kind. I would also split them into two bins; computer and tv/video.
I bought small lidded plastic bins (that stack) to keep everything together. Like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-16428012-Quart-Liter-Storage/dp/B002BDTETW/ref=pd_aw_sim_201_of_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2XQKQZZMSWMJEXC29BMT
I also like to keep things where they are needed and don't store anything non seasonal in the basement. So I have some of these in the office area... one has cables, one has printer ink, etc. The tv/video cable box is in the living room with another one holding rechargeable batteries, etc.
I just don't allow myself to buy more bins... So it has to fit or I have to get rid of something else.
Also, please don't throw away the extras. Most counties offer recycle days where they will take all of your old cables, wall worts, power supplies, etc. Check your local e-waste management website.
These are the best imo

These boxes are as close to an ideal size as I could find in a plastic storage box with lid. They work well for me.

Saw these online too. Look real nice, but no lid.
Dynamic Discs Storage Bin
This right here works great. I'm
notnow using a mixture of of a couple of containers off amazon and I just rinse them out with some baking soda with a little water then let them air out a bit.I'm using these and these and they both work great. I really like the little ones for singles because it's a perfect shape.
Yes, i used a crate to put under it. I used it vertical at first which worked well then all of a sudden it started to rotate right left when i used gas and clutch. Then i put it horizontal and works perfect. The crate and the pedals are against the wall which is important.

Ok, so here's what the footlockers look like. They're under $20 at Walmart also available on Amazon.
Here's the 7 quart container. The links I have for Walmart and Amazon are both to cases of 14, which is kinda overkill. You can get them a few bucks each at Walmart and probably similar stores.
For eyepieces, I bought gray foam from a local place called, believe it or not, the Foam Store. But I found this place online that sells it at a reasonable price.
Finally, here's an example of how things fit together. The 7 quart bins fit perfectly sideways. I think I can get 4 full rows if I want. The larger one you see on its side (with the foam in it) is my Meade 5000 series set (40mm 2", 32mm 2", 26mm 1.25"/2", 14mm 1.25", and 5.5mm 1.25") along with my 2" diagonal. I don't have good lighting in my observatory, so I couldn't get much in the way of pics. I might go out this weekend and get some better ones so you can see better how I pack them into the containers.
I have four of these footlockers. One is lined with gray foam and is a case for my 8" SCT (Meade 2080 OTA). When I haul everything out to my club's dark site, typically one of the bins has my SBIG in it's small Pelican case, my DSLR which is in a 15 qt version of those bins (which doesn't fit sideways, which annoys me), another 7qt with my two meade DSI's (mostly used for guiding), and two 7 qart bins with cables and adapters, and two more half-size ones (I think they're 4 quart, one of which contains a white tshirt for flats, and the other a focal reducer, and some odds and ends. Another bin has the meade eyepieces, two other 7 quart bins with my other eyepieces, a 7 quart with my hand control, power suply and dec cable for my mount, another with a small tool kit, and one more with my red flashlight, mosquito repellant, and some other odds and ends. The fourth container is for my two 80 mm refractors, red screen for my laptop, a book of paper logs, a 50' extension cable, and some other various odds and ends. It sounds like a lot, but because I mostly keep them packed with whatever isn't set up in the observatory, it takes only a few minutes to load them into the back of my Ford Escape - the ideal vehicle for hauling this crap. ANd that's only if I"m taking everything (which I frequently don't).
I have a Pelican rolling case for my mount head. The only thing I don't have a case for that I'd like one for is the mount tripod - it won't fit in the footlockers and I haven't found anything else that works. But, since it's all now permanetly set up in the observatory, that's something of a moot point.
I bought a couple of these last winter to store food in the snow in case the power went out. I'm using them for clothes and bedding now. They're very sturdy and they have different sizes.
I have display cases that look like this:
https://www.amazon.com/JW-AD-F6804BK-DISPLAY-Acrylic-Display-Tower/dp/B00MYC5200/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500953302&sr=8-2&keywords=display+cabinet
This is just an example, I have purchased mine at tag sales or jewelry stores or other retail shops that have gone out of business and have paid less than $40 for each of the 3 I have.
If you want to store in boxes. These work and I have some in these:
https://www.amazon.com/IRIS-Quart-Stack-Pull-Pack/dp/B00CQGTGZQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1500953505&sr=8-5&keywords=storage+boxes
You can make separators using card stock. I usually keep my packaged miniatures in the plastic storage bins and then when painted I move them to the display case. I also print out a sheet with a catalog of the miniatures and tape them to the boxes and then cross them out as I paint them.
Hope that helps.
I recommend buying bed risers to elevate your bed so you can fit some storage bins under the bed.
In the UK, in winter? Only if you're happy with a starter that never gets going.
I had to do something similar to OP as it's super cold at the moment, so my starter wasn't really doing much of anything. I ended up building this enclosure, which is made up of the following items:
I took the surface temperature of the starter a number of times using an IR thermometer that I bought, and after sitting in the box for a few hours it's a good 5 degrees centigrade higher than just sitting on the side, which brings it into the ideal range.
Total cost was £21, and as you can see, my starter is a lot more active now :)
Plus it's big enough to act as a proofing box, so it's doubly useful.
I use a plastic flip-top bin like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IARN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_me02DbJYMCNXS
It fits perfectly between the front seats and back seats and is the perfect height if you use a couple pillows (or spare clothes) to pad the top. I’m 6’4” and I can sleep like this in the back of my 2019 CrossTrek.
I just switched to using these. You can add on more as your collection grows. They are exactly the right height for almost all polishes; the only ones I have that are slightly too tall are Finger Paints, and those fit if you put them in the top container (with the lid). I used to use those Sterilite three-drawer things you can get at Wal-Mart but there was a lot of wasted space with the height of the drawers. Don't carry the Snapware by the handle with polish in them because it can unsnap from the weight, but they are awesome anyway.
This guy right here
I keep extra tools, my nail dryer, bottles that are too tall for the bottom, and my practice nails in the top. I would do the rack but dusting isn't my favorite chore, plus theres enough space under a shelf in my room that fits this container perfectly with my other two nail-related containers :-).
I currently use a clear acrylic wall shelf like they have at the nail salon, and keep my tools, files, glitter, etc in the tote I used to use for polish. This tote is really great as it has two levels and dividers - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PQAITM I will say the handle cannot handle (no pun intended) the weight when full of polish, but I would never risk carrying it by the handle anyway.
I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003KWJ9TS/
this gives you another 4" of height
or this gives you another 7"
I have some Sterelite plastic bins that have a gasket around the lid. They keep dust dirt and moisture out so that I know I always have fresh rags to grab, regardless of how messy my garage gets from power tools and compressors.

I was trying to find a link to the Sterilite three tier container I use that I got at Target, but apparently it's not on their site. But there is a picture here: http://www.thissimplehome.com/2013/12/small-lego-storage.html?m=1

I used this storage container for a while and it was great, although when it's full, you really can't carry it by the handle. I thought it would last me a long time, but thanks to RL, RAoP, PG, it lasted a few months. I replaced it with a Helmer a little while back. I'm considering getting another Helmer because..erm...things have gotten a little outta hand.

i'm very careful now after bringing home a grain beetle infested bag of dry beans. i buy from high turnover sources and double bag all snacks and starches using airtight bags, not loose garbage liners. anything you buy in the store that's a bag in a box, or box only (like pasta) should discard the box and be double bagged or bell jarred or lock&lock containers when you get home. i also put one small fly traps in my containers as moth indicators. i really don't bulk up much since between aldi's and online walmart shopping, there is no money to be saved by going bulk.

my building has lots of roaches and mice, but i have other strategies to keep them out of my apartment, so i'm more concerned with containing bugs i may inadvertently bring home, then anything already living in my building.
I just use one of these types of tubs although my carboys are 18.9L, I believe. Another benefit of a tub of water is that it creates a thermal ballast, so your beer doesn't have any bad temp swings.
Another approach is just to brew styles that work with the temps you have. Saisons are really good for the summer, or you can use HotHead yeast for other ales. Lagers for the winter
If you have a LOT of books that will be stacked in boxes, consider 12 gallon folding lid storage bins sold at Costco. It's a different brand (than the Amazon link) and sells for about $7 each. I use about 30 bins to store children's books for schools.
The downsides:
The upside:
Thanks for all the great advice :) You've been exceptionally helpful. I'm watching a couple if thermostats on Ebay now!
Would this RUB be a suitable depth?
Buy a plastic box from amazon for ~£15
- 'Really Useful Box' is a good brand which you can see through the clear plastic.

You can find things like these at Walmart for pretty cheap. When organizing, I like to have a large open space to work with (ideally) and just start picking things up from the main mess and putting them into category piles. Once you have this complete then you'll have a pretty good idea of what sizes of containers you'll need to buy. I would also suggest buying something like this if you have a lot of something or big things. I prefer clear totes/drawers as it is easier to tell what is in them, but I also like to print out labels too.
Just remember that when it comes to organizing, the mess always appears to be worse before it gets better! Good luck!
They do make airtight tubs. They are expensive though...

I use the EvaDry desiccant cartridges. They are full of desiccant and they have a wall plug. When the desiccant changes color you just plug it in for a while and it's recharged. I use these sealed storage tubs that hold around 10 spools of filament. Humidity indicating strip taped to the top and I can always check to see how things are going, plus I can see what color filament is in each tub when I'm looking for a particular filament.
I have dozens of these and they work AMAZING for keeping my filament dry and out of the humid air:

Worth every single penny and you can find 4 packs for relatively inexpensively on amazon.
I would say probably something like this (a single one, of course). You could fill it with either a full 72-hour kit, or just maybe a week's worth of food. It might be a bit heavy, but if you're just taking it to your car, it would probably be worth it.
Thank you! I'm really happy with how they turned out, especially since they are the first miniatures I've ever painted and I was told Infinity is a tough game to start a miniature painting career on.
So the case was actually pretty easy to make, the hardest part was finding the right size container and trimming the steel.
This is the Snapware container I settled on, and I found it on sale for like $4 at my local craft store. Most miniatures are about 2 inches in height so they fit just fine on the larger section, but my father knight ended up being a little over 2.5" so i cut a section out of the bottom of one container to fit him and a future TAG.
The magnets were Primal Horizon 3/16" x 1/16". They fit perfectly in the little round openings on the standard infinity bases. I bought them from a local table top store and they were stupid expensive, so I recommend trying to find some online. I read somewhere that the opening on the bottom of the bases is 4.75mm, and the ones I had were not super tight or loose, so you can prolly wiggle up or down from that diameter a little. Also, I'm not really sure what jherazob's point is with the position of the magnets. The steel I used for the bottom of the box is not magnetized, so you don't need to worry which way the magnets are flipped in the miniature's base.
The metal base is a piece of 22 Gauge steel I picked up from Home Depot. The hard part with the steel was tin snipping it to shape, then using a grinding wheel to smooth out the edges. I think 22 Gauge is the perfect thickness, because it still gives enough thickness for the magnets to adhere strongly to it, but it is thin enough to be easily trimmed and shaped without being so thin that it is easily bent.
I coated the metal with Blaze Blue Plasti-Dip (4 coats), to rubberize the surface and keep the miniatures from sliding. The coating seems pretty durable so far, but I imagine i will show wear in time. I roughed up the top and bottom of the steel with a little high grit sandpaper to help the plasti-dip and contact cement stick to it.
I secured the metal to the bottom of the container using contact cement. Stay away from using a bunch of super glue because it will melt the plastic container. Another benefit of the cement is that it is flexible, so in the event that you drop your case (oh no!) the metal hopefully will not give way.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!
What storage containers do you use (or have you used) for your various bits and baubles?
What were the advantages/disadvantages? I'm thinking of trying to standardize on just a few types of storage and don't want to back myself into a corner.
Cloth baskets because I know he has no where to put his clothes
I use these boxes with this STL model to store a lot of filament. Each box holds 5-6 regular spools. These containers are also awesome, but expensive. The PrintDry is just an expensive food dehydrator with custom top-pieces so you could possibly print with the filament that is being actively dried.
proof in one of these
A pack of these guys.
Granted, I'm only feeding two and it sounds like you need a lot bigger bins. But yeah, stackable bins. Maybe one of these too. Like so.
Or, if you're trying to make it look pretty (or like there's no "pet junk" there at all), try getting a piece of furniture like an armoire and storing everything in bins in there, like so or like so.
That's awful! I hope insurance covers it.
We're planning on moving some books to the basement too, since we're running out of space, and we've decided to put the books in these airtight plastic containers (they're cheaper at Walmart). I know that's too late to help now, but maybe it will be for the future?
Possibly. It has more to do with moisture clinging to the outside of the filament. Nylon actually absorbs water, so you need to keep it super dry all the time. PLA is the least affected of common materials, but it will still suffer performance issues because of this.
My advice is get an airtight container/box and get a big pail of desiccant off of Amazon. Dump a bunch into the container so you have about an inch of desiccant on the bottom. Then just put your spools in their and keep it shut unless you need to get a different spool out. This can recondition material over the course of a week as well. Nylon would probably need a professional dryer of some sort, similar to what injection molding companies use to dry their plastic pellets before using them. I haven't had to dry nylon yet, but I would think that's what you'd have to do.
I'm about to order some off amazon

It comes from proofing the dough in a banneton, you put flour in the banneton to stop the dough sticking and some of it comes off when the dough is turned out, leaving a nice pattern.
It's more common with higher hydrations as if you tried to proof the dough without any support, it would flatten out considerably.
Something like this, they come in different sizes: Round banneton
Do you have any close friends that you could trust getting mail like that sent to? If the getting it mailed to you home address is the issue, I have heard of many people doing this because of nosy family members.
If its just having them at the house in general thats an issue you can get a lockbox/footlocker on amazon that you can keep your private things in.

If that isnt a possibility, working towards moving out i guess is your only other option.
Also, if they open your mail...thats very....illegal.
All that said, please dont stick things that arent meant for anal play up your butt. Those pool toys are a good example as they are not flared enough at either end to be anal safe. Anuses have a way of sucking things up into them and im sure a hospital trip because you got a foreign object stuck up there would be a lot worse than them finding a dildo. Please be safe.
I am very sorry for your situation, it sounds rough.
If you want something pretty sturdy, then this wooden box should do the job. Jo-Ann is having a 40% off sale right now, so you can get that for about $15. I got this idea from someone in this subreddit.
If you want to go on the cheaper side, then a plastic container like this or something similar should suffice. From what I've seen from other people doing something like this, it seems doable.
Both of those cases' dimensions should be good enough to house everything you need to put in your fightstick. You can either use these as your actual case or as examples of what you're looking for.
I'm a cheap bastard and instead use varying sizes of these that I can pick up very cheaply at local home goods stores (Target, Walmart, etc). Get a roll or two of non-skid plastic liner meant for cabinets and you've got a stackable storage option that your models won't slip in.
I find things like specially made army bags are far too expensive for what you get.
I bought these:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWTJXP0/
two of them are full of filaments, along with dessicant.
Not a big deal unless you really have stuff packed in there. What I do is use a few of the big flat plastic bins and put a couple items in there and keep them under my bed. Something like these:

Yeah good point. I'd prefer a male but I'm inclined to prepare for a female in the case of mis-sizing. But since tubs are cheap I could see the value in starting smaller. I mostly just want to guess a good adult size tub even if I'm not getting one now for purposes of allocating space. I'm an apartment dweller so each herp I add usually means a little bit of redecorating. Even if the current tub is smaller, I'd like it to be in the space of the future one. I've read a bunch of sources saying size preference also varies by animal so while I'm not looking forward to it, I suspect I may end up trying a bunch. I guess then the question is what size is a good start and what's a good indicator of time to size up. I've read a few sites where people go by weight but I've been sizing my corn by length using the "L+W should = Snake L" logic (although she's in a much bigger viv at the moment because I got a lucky craigslist posting).
Sorry for all the dumb questions but in my local area we technically can't own pythons (it's technically on the books but unenforced, ironically a citywide pet survey showed ball pythons to be the most popular reptile pet despite that) so if I ask at my favorite herp shop they get kind of clammy about the topic because city officials apparently try to trick them into "encouraging illegal animals" or some bother. Hit the same wall looking into kenyan sand boas.

I had something that looked like this under my bed to store extra sheets and things. I also had a duffle bag under there.
You may not have to loft your bed but sometimes they have bed risers available. I would recommend those if they are there.

I have one of those, and it's been great. I dust it with rice flour before proofing (I think it releases better) and just dust it out after. No complaints.
well, unless you show your newly acquired box of equipment, it wont get a lot of upvotes, but otherwise posts like this are just ignored by the majority.
As for your problem, seems like a basic crate on amazon might do. You could then also hardmount the pedal on it (probably M6 bolts) and if you dont have a drill, something basic like [this hand drill] ordered with it.
Depending on your budget, you could also build something out of t-slot alu, which you can re-purpose if you one day build a whole rig.
I think you need a much bigger litter box.
I go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy big storage bins and leave the lid off.
Laugh, but this works.

I've always simply used something like this. I put all my pastries in there, stacking them on top of each other (as long as it doesn't have any frosting/damageable pieces on top). I usually put a napkin in between each "layer" of the stack. Then I'll bring along a nice plate, and once I get over there I'll place them nicely on the plate and voila!
If you can't get the round cake caddy to work you can try something like this. It seems to be more like what you're looking for
While it looks very cool to have a bunch of filament spools hanging everywhere, it isn't a good way to store filament. Get a dry-box (a plastic box with a gasketed lid) and put a tub of Damp-rid inside with all your filament spools. It doesn't look as pretty, but it will keep your filament from absorbing moisture and getting bubbly or brittle.
In case you're worried about replacing the Damp-rid, I've got a box with a 10 oz tub that's been in there for 2 years and it is still working fine...
Almost 5%, donno if I can trust them. Let’s see. I got the Sistema box from Amazon, don’t like it at all. It’s so thin and delicate. Returning it and getting this IRIS 74 Quart WEATHERTIGHT Storage Box, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PKNWVZY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M-ceAbYMJC0A0
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 spend a lot of time outside geocaching I think that placing one of these caches would be really cool.
This container would be perfect to hold all of your craft supplies . Well if your anything like me you would need about a dozen of these but I’m sure tit would come in handy.
I I really really want it!
I have lots of small shelves built into a closet in my office, and I use plastic shoe-boxes for various add-in cards (mostly video and network) and RAM, sorted by form-factor. Hard drives and fans each go in larger, more sturdy containers. Power supplies, optical drives, and routers/switches/modems go in large totes. Cases just get stacked, as is. There's a small pail that's slowly filling up with screws. Cables get hung on wall hooks.
The coolest bit of furniture I have is my son's old loft bed. It has a built-in desk under it, and with the mattress off, the top is my work space. It fits up to a half dozen towers side-by-side, plus a stack of external drives and a KVM switch which leads down to the screen/key/mouse on the desk.
Thanks for sharing! if only that came in a larger size...
Edit: The Amazon reviews seems mixed regarding quality as they use Styrofoam to seal the lid and the latches sometimes fall off. Still if this is the only option in all of Edmonton I might have no choice haha...
I've got something like this:

Easy enough to pick up and go. If you filled one up completely with water, it would be too heavy, but if you put some water and other stuff in each then it's manageable.
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.
I use these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ORQFX6O/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_U\_EmdpDbTQJPED1
1-2 1/4 inch holes should be good at this point, maybe even just undoing the clamps on the side that make it airtight would work. I know thats how I do mine, but I use ziplock totes with a blue foam like o-ring thing at the top to makes it airtight when clamped shut.

Get an amazon prime account; the free two-day shipping makes getting pet supplies/cages/bins much easier and you don’t have to drive all the way to your local pet store/IKEA. I’d also suggest getting some of those small corn ears/whimzees as well to address the chewing problem. Btw, the cardboard maché packaging in amazonbasics orders makes for some pretty excellent hamster houses/platforms. I’d suggest something like [this](IRIS Weathertight Storage Box, 62 Quart - Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003KWJ9TS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bcWLAb4D31Q6Q) in terms of size, btw.
Not a lady, but I don't see anything wrong with some plastic tubs like these guys that you store under your bed or on the floor of your closet. I would just wrap things up in some sort of fabric before storing them so they don't possibly get dinged up if they get rattled around inside.
I use these Ziploc containers. They have a foam like seal in the lid to help keep out dust and moisture. They stack nicely as well. So far I'm liking them.
https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-WeatherShield-Quart-Storage-Clear/dp/B00MWTJXP0
mine are in clear, tiered Snapware containers. Example
Cigarobsession recommended this container and I've been happy with it. If I could do it over again, I'd get one about 1/2 or 2/3 the size.
It's a bit big for a casual.
I'm using humidity beads in that chicken salad tub and they work perfectly. $16 for the container and $4 for the beads and you've got a full setup without any real financial commitment.

I have a little oven that sits on a table in my garage to heat my spools of filament for 3-4 hours to go back into my box when I'm done using them.
Yeah, I just googled it since I have a BS2 and was wondering the same, and someone on GS said they emailed Decksaver about the BS2 and got a response that they would have to retool their equipment to make it for the BS2... which seems... odd.
You might consider looking at plastic storage bins - either the lid, or just find a small/shallow one that you can turn upside down. It may not be elegant, but it will work better than a soft cover, since I'm assuming your'e worried about impact/physical pressure/scratching damage and/or liquid damage. Something like this:

How do you transport your scopes and gear to a remote site? Take everything apart and put it in the original padded shipping boxes? I was thinking of getting a bunch of pick-n-pluck foam from Uline and making some custom plastic bins big enough for my various pieces. My pieces are EdgeHD 8 and ED80T CF, now with MoonLite focusers.

For the cost of one cheap humidor, you'll have a huge amount of space. They're made bpa-free by https://www.shopirisusa.com/ who make some decent plastic.
I've got four of these, and they're full. I'm planning to buy four more.
With these, you throw some of the big boveda's in them, put them somewhere where the temperature is stable (for us with a basement, we've really got it made)... and that's it. I don't have to mess with mine at all. The humidity is always perfect and they're always smoke ready out of the box.
Since the bins are huge, you can buy some of the cedar shelves online or make some, or whatever to hold singles. Old cigar boxes work. Lately I tend to buy more boxes than 5-packs so those stack pretty nicely inside these.
EDIT: Here's my cellar, https://i.imgur.com/N5Gc7gH.jpg
