Any ideas on what to line cupboards with. In the past we have used soft plastic mesh and find it breaks down and goes soft and sticky. We also live in a hot climate.

I always have some of this handy. It works, and is the same as the repairer I called used, the first time I had the problem. If I remember rightly, he charged me $70.00. At $19.90 a tube, it's a lot cheaper than getting some-one else to do it. Glass and Windshield Fix, from Magnamail Mail Order. Che...

Want round fried eggs? Cut an onion into rings and put in the pan to cook the egg in. Havent tried it yet but thought that was a great idea. Depending on the onion diameter then thick or thin rings.....

I have noticed that a number of CP's amenity blocks quite often have no plugs for the basins. I carry 3 different sized rubber plugs cut from old car tubes. The three sizes make it easier to fit any plug hole. They have come in handy many times. They don't leak either. ( Old army trick) Kevin

i use a battery drill and old spool to quickly strip line from my fishing rod reel. Check your reel's spool skirt for the amount of line your reel will hold, fill your spool to within a few millimeters of the edge.

I was on another forum (MySwag.org) the other day and a guy was going to throw out his rechargeable drill as the batteries were stuffed and it was going to cost more for the batteries than what the drill cost. So what he did, he simply soldered two wires to the positive and negative in the bottom of drill...
