Help! My house is being submerged in scuba equipment!

A somewhat dated picture, but here is how I keep some of it....

Bob, I think you have more gear in that picture than my shop did before we moved into our new building last year. And I'm actually not exaggerating. The only thing I don't see is the compressor.

Utilitarian, yes. Classy, might be very subjective. If I tried to put your shelves and dive inside our house, I and my dive gear/shelves would be looking for a new place to live.

It was temporarily relocated to a heated space for winter storage. It typically is where you see the grey box on the wall at the end of the pcture. There is the switch/hour meter/power supply there...

I have enough dive stuff that it was a separate complaint in my recent divorce case.

Take up woodworking with hand tools (or mail order CNC prepped wood) and build custom storage like that walk-in closet. It also avoids the dive gear getting worse by diverting funds to those hand tools.

On the less classy side, these come in various sizes: Sterilite 15qt Clear View Storage Bin with Latch Purple. Put those in some nice custom shelves with doors and you might be fine. Or build wooden bins/boxes as well.

Call at Realtor(tm) and get a larger house.

Have to wait to move in!

This reminded me to go check mousetraps around my gear so they don’t get into it and start nibbling on hoses

My problem is less equipment, but tanks. I swear they multiple overnight. And the UPS man just dropped off a box that suspiciously looks like another tank.

I am doing a purge right now as part of a larger decluttering program. I am determined to get down to two full kits (outside of backplates and tanks) and keep it that way.

I have a bunch of guitars, amplifiers, and sound equipment ready to go, too, if anyone is interested.

Ha ha!

Who has asked to pay cash or have the receipt show a lower price?
