I didn't read any where about not letting them become dry, unless of course you can wet sand with them.

You may not have to break anything!

Shhh! You may have just aborted the birth of a heathy baby superstition!!!

Looked for this photo for the last 3 days

There is a 4 " wide shelf at the top. Nothing on it.

That's what I'm talkin about! Looks like a lot of belts to be stored that way. May be a little bit of a hassle to separate, but hey, if you've got a lot of belts!

This method, consistent with the way the belts are shipped, appears to be an excellent solution for storage.

Selection and handling may be a bit of a hassle but that is of minimal concern.

Thanks for the post.

That, BTW, is the way my belts have been except that I never established a "place". They were here and then they were there. Wherever there was a place for me to discard them that is where they lay.

I used to be organized but no more.

Store them properly???
I consider it a miracle if I can find them!!!

I do have a lot of space up between the joist overhead where I could do the fruit-juice can bit. I might just go that route or something close.

Only if you have an existing collection of "fruit juice cans". Soft plastic bottles seem to now be the rule. I bemoan the day that I discarded my collection of old coffee cans.

Eat more chili. The big cans are great.

Cans??? I thought a pile of red beans, some beef and tomatoes - add some spices and chile and you have it.
