Enoch Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I just bought a second house about three miles from our house and two blocks from the new baseball stadium they are building. My rational to my wife is that our children and grandchildren could stay there when they come to visit and we could stay there and walk to the baseball games and not worry about parking or drinking and driving. But it also has a 1000 square foot cellar that I am thinking about converting into a place to store bourbon and beer. I figured we broke even since we would rent hotel rooms for them all. Seemed like a win-win to me. May even start a brown water society that can meet there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 But it also has a 1000 square foot cellar that I am thinking about converting into a place to store bourbon and beer. Are you sure 1000 square feet is enough room for all your "stuff"? But seriously, congrats on the house. Sounds like it has the all makings of great place for you and your family. Cheers!

kjbeggs Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks for the tip!Anyone else have experience with Parafilm?Probably not as effective as Parafilm, but I've had success with the Teflon plumber's tape you can pick up cheap at Home Depot.I haven't stored anything for a period of several years though. As my bunker is growing, it may be time to invest in some Parafilm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my bunker is growing, it may be time to invest in some Parafilm.Being familiar with both, teflon plumber's tape is a great alternative. May even be better, as there is an element of misuse of parafilm (which will reduce its effectiveness.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thig Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 an element of misuse of parafilm (which will reduce its effectiveness.)Can you explain what you mean here? I haven't used either one but just wondering what you mean by misuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used either one but just wondering what you mean by misuse.Parafilm works best when it has been prestretched. If you unrolling it and putting it on without stretching it will not be very effective. It's much more effective if stretched before using.

Harry in WashDC Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 When I say I'm out of OGD I mean the bottle I can reach without leaving my chair.As I sit here on a Sunday planning my week, I'm following Squire's lead: "reach" being key. The trash can next to me holds more than trash, but one wouldn't know that unless one lifted up some of the trash. Replenishment is the task at hand.
