The little things (on a budget)

[jerrymrc]

Today's little things. We have said it before. You can't have enough twine, rope or wire. 900' of twine was $3. Rope I buy whatever is on sale. $2-$10. Nice to have different sizes on hand.

Also in addition to the rope a few pulleys on hand are cheap. 2" singles are on sale for $3 a set of two. Coupled with a double for $4 and it makes for a simple block and tackle set up.

Wire can be a $6 spool of bailing wire or whatever ya need. I keep a couple of rolls of wire along with a spool of stainless safety wire in .035. If push comes to shove I always have the extra wire from the mig welder.

And the last one for today. Related to the rope above.... A clothesline and clothes pins. Colorado lends itself to drying by air. This can be used indoors or out. once again these are dollar store items. I think the line and pins were $3 total. The dedicated clothesline is handy because it has a built in adjusters on the hook.

That's it for today's budget tips.
