What makes you crazy S It’s time to DIY
o maybe you’ve been home a little more than usual, and you’ve started to notice a few things. Things that have bugged you but now it’s just apparent something needs to change. Not to worry, there is a solution. Here are a few suggestions on how to solve what’s making you crazy.
Pan storage Finding a way to store bulky and awkward pans and lids needs to end! Here is one ingenious approach. DIY IT: This takes some skills, tools, and time but the step-by-step with pictures are provided. Find the DIY for the pot-and-pan-pullout at FamilyHandyMan.com.
Linen closet hack Finding storage for towels and bath essentials can be inexpensive, attractive, and fast thanks to this handy idea from MyWeeAbode.com. DIY IT: Secure a few baskets to the wall using long screws and sheetrock anchors. For more ideas, go to myweeabode.com.
Litter box fix If the cat’s litter box is a source of contention, this may be the answer. A lidded, topentry litter box helps contain the odors better, makes sure all the waste goes in the box (and not over the edge), and cuts way down on tracking litter out of the box. DIY IT: Cut a hole in the lid of any large tote. Boom! Done. (Just make sure it’s tall enough for the cat to sit without crouching.) Or order the Petmate Litter Pan (shown) for around $20.
