Just a thought... dont put a freezer in your tying room unless its real well ventilated or nyou might get condensation problems, and that leads to mould. iain
Joyce It was Dan was doing his cleaning today but after reading your post I got lots of good ideas. I have them all in bins with moth balls now. Every time I read a post from you I know I need to do a little better I'm just asking for trouble here. My six year old has started raiding my stash and taking my extras. Now I'm struggling with him to teach him to put away his fly tying stuff every time he uses it. I use a lot of my extra stuff in the classes I teach for UFT and the DEM. It helps save both of them money in supplies and guarantees I have what I need when I get there. I think I will go out and buy a vacuum sealer. That is a great suggestion! I also need to move my JC to the freezer along with my more expensive salmon feathers. I never knew when I started fly tying how expensive it would be. Now I need to buy a full sized freezer for my basement. ;0) Thank you, Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce's crafts and flies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] I'm cleaning out my tying room > Deb, just cleaned my tying room and know what you are getting into.
