If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!
Warehouse dock plate aka the thing that extends into a truck so it can be unloaded. They are solid metal and get cold/hot.
Oh shit okay, I get it now totally! Yeah, there have been a handful of times when standing next to trucks that I have wondered how anyone gets things safetly up and down on their beds without breaking their backs. This makes sense! I am glad you found a way to make a cheap utility out of used stuff because I bet you some kind of official plate has a crazy markup and you probably don’t need it often.
We need it consistenly but they are 100+ dollars and this cost $8 of glue.
Hahahaha, you’ve got me cracking up here! Apologies for the assumption! I love the creativity though, seriously!
