One great advantage of following other bloggers is to pick up some great ideas once in a while. Blogger friend Daniela from the blog: Frugal Ain't Cheap, is such an example. You will find two links below this post from where I got this idea for adding Roller Casters to our Storage Box in the garage. Thanks Daniela!
We used to keep this on our balcony to store the chaise's cushions.
With our remodeled attic we now can keep them there, nearby the balcony, for use.
It is a Suncast Resin Deluxe Deck Box with Seat from Wayfair.com and now it is in our garage as a favorite lounge area for our felines.
You see the Roller Casters underneath...
Pieter glued some planks underneath with the casters attached.
Detail of such a Roller Caster that we got at The Home Depot, together with those planks and they are cheap.
Photo taken from the spot where usually our car is parked. This is the corner where it is stored and easily rolls out of the way with items piled on top.

Goed gedaan, grappig dat de poezen het zo fijn vinden daarop te liggen. Ik zie ook een paar mooie fietsen staan eentje met een hondenmandje? Of gaan de poezen daar ook in mee?

P.S. When did you post the letter? Nothing arrived jet :O(
Hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHandige tip,Pieter steekt weer de handen uit de mouwen en rollen maar........
Ook ik heb zo'n handige man die de houten kist met klepdeksel gekocht bij hobby doe het zelf zaak zo'n 19 jaar geleden toen al voorzag van zwenkwieltjes,de eerste jaren deed de kist dienst voor het kinderspeelgoed zoals puzzels,leesboekjes etc. van kleinkinderen,later kreeg kist een blauwe beitskleur en belande in de keuken om mijn broodbakbenodigheden in op te bergen,hij maakte van de voorkant ook een scharnierende klep met haakje,zodat ik niet telkens dat wat er óp kist stond hoefde weg te pakken om erbij te kunnen.
Inmiddels hebben de wieltjes al heel wat kilometers afgelegd en staat nu al weer poosje boven en heeft weer een andere functie gekregen.
Fijne dag en lieve groet,
Ger

Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, simple idea. I've always stayed away from large storage containers due to the difficulty of moving them. You've solved the problem.
More rain, but it's soft and warm so kind of enjoyable when taking Winterpup out.
Enjoy your day.....*s*
