How to Track Hardware

Category: Random Tips | Related: ,

Are you like me and have a fear of not remembering which bolts go in which hole, or worse ending up with an extra nut or two? Sneak into the kitchen before your next afternoon under the shade tree and "borrow" some of those empty cottage cheese containers saved for leftovers. Tupperware works fine too but expect an explosion upon discovery! With a notebook and masking tape you can write down the order in which you removed the bolts and put them in a labeled container.
