Hi, Norrine! Love this video. I found a box with a hinged lid and a hole drilled in it for my bedroom and all our chargers at a thrift store. It was already painted a color that worked in my room. It was a lucky day! Now I have to replace my surge protector because it doesn’t have enough room anymore. We just have to keep updating our solutions. Can’t wait for the Wednesday video! 😊🌺💕

Great find on that box!!! And, so true with things needing updating! My old kitchen had one plug. ONE! But, the the 1940's when it was built, who needed plugs in the kitchen?? Now, newer kitchens have plugs every few feet!! I wonder what things will look like in 40 years... Thanks for checking in!

Another great idea!!!

Brilliant! I can't bear cord mess. I've finally learned that having anything in lidded boxes (which was the solution I came up with that failed) does not work for me, but I like to have things out of sight. This is perfect for me, thank you! You've sold me on the brad gun, Norrine. I'd really love a tutorial on cutting wood for us absolute beginners who don't have the slightest bit of experience of woodworking. I've smelled wood, that's the full extent of my knowledge in full-size woodwork (miniature woodworking does not count). I'd really like to know the quickest, easiest, safest tools and techniques.

You don’t need books. You just need to find book covers and copy them and print them out (so you will always have the original). Then wrap them around edges of Mac and cheese boxes (each box should give you two book spines). If Mac and cheese boxes don’t work, measure them and look for food sources such as cereal that fit. Perhaps you can add the part of a paper towel tube to the edge of the box to give it the rounded edge of the spine.

I think everything is expensive!!! 😆 We got it during Black Friday, so it was $40 off the normal price. If you don't have any of the tools, it will be a bit more, because you will need to buy the battery and charger. But it's usually around $100. Ryobi runs specials often with 'starter' kits! You get a drill, charger, battery, a case, and sometimes some bits for about $100 - that is a GREAT deal.
