Do it Yourself: [DIY] retired people, toilet paper rolls and kleenex boxes

18 June 2013

[DIY] retired people, toilet paper rolls and kleenex boxes

being retired as well, (but not a real redneck!!) I had
to avail myself of two of these ideas (I will get to the
others someday..you know we retirees...take things a little
dose at a time..especially the moonshine (hehehe)

so far..38 plastic bags in one kleenex box and that
was just a mornings effort...painted a few tp rolls
black (took a while-- had to use 3 magic markers..I am not
allowed by law to handle spray cans any longer..hahaha...
,my aim 'taint so good anymore...so had to search for
dry tp rolls (refer back to the aim statement...)

I am amazed that my closet (full of 60 years of
plastic bags that I KNOW fool around and multiply every night)
(more than I can do,by the way!!) has shrunk significantly..as
I did fill 7 kleenex boxes with those dang unruly plastic
bags..

My only question now is "What do I do with all the
kleenex laying around?"

Seriously-- list of great ideas!! Thank you for posting!

PS-

Have no use for love seat so I won't tackle that old
bathtub..
