Like the labels on the crates. Saves 6 trips up the ladder looking for ...
Thx. I was going to use a label maker but too hard to see for these old eyes. Milk crates are working out well. Local guy selling them for $5 each. Bought 12, had 6, going to get 8 more. They stack well too so if you have heavy stuff you don’t access regularly they hide pretty well in a corner.
I use small furniture dollies and covered totes stacked for under bench storage. I add duct tape labels "painting", "gardening" etc.
I have tots
I guess I'm going to have to label my milk crates too
I am sick of crawling up and then move over and back up again
Good idea !!
I was tidying up my fan mountings for my hot air solar collectors and was thinking about where the heat exits the collectors
I get a little cold air coming back through the bottom inlet when the sun goes down and there not running (thermal siphoning?)
Right now I just have little pieces of polly that will suck against the outlets but could a person put like a P-trap on the outlets to stop this thermo siphoning and not have to rely on the polly

I doubt it. The p-trap is about being filled. Your poly flapper is probably the lowest restrict solution with out a t-stat controlled flapper. Unless someone else has an elegant solution.
But since you are powering a circulation fan a damper could be wired in.

Repeat
I'm trying to come up with a lightweight metal or plastic but I'm stumped for now
Your right about wiring in a damper that takes it's power from the fan wiring that would work

I just came across these and for $25 I might just buy one to try

My problem would be trying to find the tape and the marker pen to label the containers!
Most of my stuff is on dolly's. Makes it much easier on the rare occasion that I mop.
There in one of the totes
They're so simple you could make one yourself.
I just did a smoke test to see if there was that much cold air coming out of thre intake it's minimal at best it's more the pipe is just cold I just need to pretty up the exhaust
The Polly is working well enough it just looks a bit crude

No self respecting mechanic would ever have duct tape in the shop...
I have three different colors.
Since you have powered circulation, a cheap butterfly damperwill stop 70%-90% of your backflow. Your poly flapper may be as efficient.

More shelves and started insulating the garage doors.
