Storage solutions

You can never have too many hiding places for your candy.

Candy = good.

Nice hide job there.

Jeff you are incorrigible.

But I am sure that no matter how hard you try to hide anything like this your daughter will find it without any trouble. I find it amazing how resourceful and inquisitive this age group really is. So just give up the candy bars, put them out in plain sight and she will probably just ignore them.

Nice solution to your dilemma about the water heater by the way.

Here’s a sugestion that comes from experience—- Take the knob off. With 3 kids of my own plus a 10 year old grandson in the house, trust me I have become quite good at hiding my stash of yummy things to eat from the bottomless pits known as Children. I have a ongoing “battle” of wiles when it comes to keeping the kids safe from sugar overload. I win often, but they are ingenious little buggers. Oh if they would only put that much effort into schoolwork!

Looks like a great hiding spot… I hate to rain on your parade, but the heat from the water heater will turn your Snickers into soup…

You’ll just have to go for the small dorm fridge with a lock on it…

Tom beat me to the punch – I was thinking the same thing – 12 hours in there with the hot water heater going and the snickers will be nice and soft. Good luck with your hiding place.

What type of water heater—gas or electric. Where I live (PA) gas water heaters by code cannot be enclosed. Something about gas fumes in an enclosed area, flammable, explode, fire. Check it out before your Snickers really get melted.

Well, Snickers aside, it is still a cool stash box.

I really was kidding about the candy. My two kids are still under 3. Top of the fridge works fine (for now). I just can’t put more storage on that side of the door due to the lazy susan cabinet leaving only an inch or so of clearence. Blocks everything but the little shelf near the floor!

You may have been kidding about the candy, but my kids are all adults and I still say you can’t have too many hiding places. ;-)
