Three Ways To Get Organized

Three Ways To Get Organized

Sandpaper organizer
An expanding file from an office-supply store keeps your sandpaper organized by grit, and gives you plenty of room to stash instruction manuals, warranties and other paperwork.

Plywood corral
Here’s a simple way to keep sheets of plywood and particleboard organized and tight against the wall. Bolt a pair of notched 3/4-by-3.5-inch strips of plywood to the wall studs, lean the plywood in place, then use a 2-by-4-inch crossarm to hold everything in place.

Garden-hose hanger
Here’s an easy way to stash your garden hose and those small, easily lost accessories. Attach a sturdy plastic pail to the side of your house with 2-inch galvanized drywall screws and washers. Loop your hose around the outside and store nozzles and sprayers on the inside.
