Then, Mark demystifies a common household item by breaking down the various tools found in a typical fireplace set, explaining the specific purpose of each one. Finally, Tom and Kevin head to the workshop for a lesson in organization. They show how to build a simple but sturdy storage rack for large container totes using nothing more than standard 2x4s, offering a perfect solution for anyone looking to reclaim their garage or basement from clutter.
