Personally, I use the items shown when you search for "storage bins" but I
have a high turnover rate with my small parts so dust is not really a
factor... If you need something sealed, jars are better.
Roam the site for millions of useful items - and no, I'm not working for
them...

I don't know, we haven't been looking to buy any for 20 years or so. :-)

Do they still sell baby food in glass jars? I haven't looked at baby food
lately, but the commerials all seem to be advertising peel off seal type
containers like yogurt.
My dad, years ago in the '70s had a work shop in his basement. He had a rack
that was specially made to hold baby food jars. The lids had to be on the
jars, and they slid into compartments that were just the right size. It made
it easy to sort and store different size bolts, nuts, screws etc. If I
remember correctly, it held probably 16-20 jars and was made out of red
sheet metal.
I have no idea if someone made it for him, or if it was an item available at
hard ware stores back then.

Of course. What I typed is not what I was thinking. Point is, firing time
alone is not the determining factor for cost of operation. Longer time at a
lower rate can be cheaper than a huge inefficient burner cycling.

... 1200 ft^2 of 4" concrete is 400 ft^3 with about 25x400 = 10K Btu/F of
capacitance, or more, if there's no insulation beneath. You might warm it
from 50 to 70 F in 2 hours with a 10K(70-50)/2h = 100K Btu/h boiler.

It is, if there's an unoccupied setback, compared to a heating system with
no time lag, because the heated space needs to be warmer for some time
before the setback, and it stays warmer after the setback, so it loses
more heat to the outdoors.

No. The former uses 60K Btu. The latter uses 75K Btu.

I just saw an article in our local paper about reusing common household
items. Most of the suggestions were a little silly, but I thought it was a
good attempt at encouraging people to give thought to what their "trash"
might be good for. My tip for the day is for cyclists to use their old,
flatted tubes. Instead of throwing mine away, I keep them in a bin in the
closet and use them for multiple tasks. We used two to tie the Christmas
tree to the top of our factory roof rack in December, and I used them a cut
up one as a rubber cushioned door stop in the laundry room. Any other cool
tips?
