    sahls01gmc got a reaction from TheWolf in How do you fill out an Adam's shopping cart?   
    Me too. My wife and 3 daughters....and even the dog is female.
     
     
    That all makes perfect sense to me. Although adding up the cost of 6 months worth of towels is mind boggling. But 1 at a time, I'll get there.
     
    I have learned many great tips from you. As a kid I had the posters of Ferrari's and Corvette's on my wall in hopes of one day obtaining one. Now, I have pictures of your detail garage....wife is not a fan....

    Yes it is.  They will hold well over 20oz of liquid without spilling onto the carpet.  Ask me how I know.....

    Adam's does sell 32oz bottles....just saying.  
     
    I agree with the large bottles being too heavy.  I think the 16oz size is perfect, even if I have to refill it more often.

    I think he is saying he wants them to be in the new Nalgene bottles, just 16oz size.

    Alright, after looking at many carts and deciding what I wanted to have readily available, this is what I came up with:
     

     

     
    I'm about 90% ready now!  Just need to make a storage rack for the 32oz bottles (thanks jgrant54 for the 16oz racks!), and then get a tub or 2 for my towels, still not sure how I want that setup just yet.

    sahls01gmc got a reaction from Audog in Need new lights in garage   
    You can also use toggle bolts if you don't hit studs. I've installed hundreds of 4' lights with these, are they are a breeze to use. They make perfect alignment easier. 4' lights don't really weight that much. Even if the anchors do come loose, you've still got the wires that would hold it up.....assuming you did that part right!

    So there I was.....
     
    I had remodeled our front bathroom, minus the shower.  Everything came out except the ceiling (although it was smoothed out to get rid of the popcorn), and was completely redone.  All that was left was to redo the shower....just waiting on the wife's final "design" to get it all done.  I had been out of town when she told me that one of the kids "might have messed up the shower..."  Confused, I asked for more clarification (1st mistake).  She told me one of the shelves of the side had just "fallen off" when the 2 little ones were taking a bath.  Wait for it....I asked "How did that happen?"  (2nd mistake).  She told me that they were playing with one of the loofah's and it got stuck on one of the towel holders (see pic below).  Try as they might, they pulled until it broke free....including the shower surround!  Apparently she (my 3 year old) also fell backwards and took out the shower curtain (I have the broken screws to prove it).  I said, "Ok, I'll fix it when I get home."  Upon arrival, I notice the crime scene has mostly been cleaned up.  Wife's first words were, "I'm sorry!"  I was able to get the surround back into place, thanks to a few screws to maintain structural integrity.  But, I'd had enough at that point.  I told her I was going to go with her most recent design, and I was going to install it that weekend.  She couldn't argue at this point, although she was unaware that didn't have all of the tools necessary to get the job done.
     
    So here's how it started.  Note the "storage racks" on the side of the shower:

     
    Then I had to completely remove everything:

     
    My say in the design process was "nothing up high to cause any further damage"

     
    So the final result ended up with a smooth look, and nothing too high to cause harm:

     
    She couldn't argue anything, and I ended up with a tile saw, grinder and tile hole saw out of the deal.  And she got her bathroom finished, and no kids were injured in the process.  Win/win all around I suppose.

    I made the mistake and asked my wife that one time.....never again.  Now I just use these instances as an excuse to buy more tools and supplies.

    I agree with the foaming cleaner method.  Might take several attempts, but you'd need a chemical strong enough to break down bat guano, yet delicate enough to not damage the cloth.
