Coffee Cans -- Everything but Coffee

What people enjoy a lot about coffee is that when it's gone, they're left with one of the most versatile items in the world. Indeed! Coffee comes in nifty containers, in three sizes. Most cans have snap-on, airtight lids making them ideal for many uses. They're great for all types of kitchen storage, and they make excellent cooking-grease holding cans. Spray-painted, they make a canister set with three graduated sizes, and a clear coat inside prevents rusting. In the garage and other rooms, they're great little organizers. Sturdy and stackable, they're great for shelves, boxes and drawers. And tops can be labeled with tape and a pen to indicate what's stored inside. With an "x" cut into the top, they're good for storing paintbrushes. Just push the handle through, and let it hang into the solution below. With a number of holes drilled in their tops, coffee cans become spreaders for fertilizer and grass seed. A second top will keep them sealed tight when they're not in use. And that's the On The House tip for today.
