Say Barb.... I forgot to ask..... did you ever FIX the old net hamper thing?
Or should I make you another one like this but UGLIER, so you'll actually USE it?

Yeah. I bought a can of that purple stuff plumbers use on PVC pipe to hold it together. Plus, I used some clamps to hold it while the glue dried. It's put back together, but I don't expect it to last more than a year, if that.

Once I get the shelves for my rubber stamps built, I'll probably go ahead and use the hamper for a hamper.

Ummmm, you DO know the purple is just the PRIMER, not the actual GLUE and will not hold very well, right? You need BOTH. (primer & pvc cement)

If you had asked, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that, but I bought both cans and followed the directions. The clear stuff really smells.

You should see the beautiful cutting boards and other things he made for Mrs. DM from some wood that wasn't being used. I'll try to find the links to them on the diychatroom.

Does anyone buy the big box of baby wipes with 4 or 5 individual packages in them? some of them have a little plastic flip-top on them. I've been saving them to make a game for the kids. I'll try to post a picture of what I'm talking about later today.
