TP shortage

Pat Evans

TP is still in short supply around here, but my wife found a deal on 12 large commercial rolls. Needless to say, they don't fit residential holders and are not perforated. They also look tacky just sitting out.

With a little scrap plywood and some magnets, I put together this box to hide the tp. (Obviously it normally sits in the opposite direction.) The inside top edge of the opening is slanted upward and a piece of hacksaw blade glued in as a serrated edge to cut the paper. It's not particularly fancy or that well made, but it should be temporary anyway.

Most practical furniture I have seen posted. And it looks good too.

Man, are you studying for a pHD thesis in astrophysical engineering for your light bathroom reading? The top book looks heavy, but it's sitting on an even larger book!

I keep a few similar books in the guest bathroom to impress visitors. ;) But the book markers in this book looks like someone is actually reading it and they are half way through!

One is a dictionary. The other is Series II, Vol. 3 of "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion." I can't afford the entire set and it's so large I couldn't read it in my lifetime anyway. However, it's fun to peruse. You can find some fascinating jewels of info that I haven't seen in history books.
