tank will be filled in due time, I have a day job to deal with which tends to slow down my progress. By Jan 1 it will be full, running and finished ( i hope )

damn if I had to buy enough of these for the tank and the new kitchen it would be almost $1000. Since the boys have figured out the other ones already they have also learned that if they go in the cupboards they might get a little paddle on the arse and neither of them like that idea. without a doubt 2 of the smartest little ankle bitters I have seen in a long time, oldest one even knows what screw driver to use on almost all the different screws.

Mmmm! Your right, but I don't remember spending that much on mine...only need one magnet and the latches are sold separate.
But, my magnet has a picture of a little bear on it...Huh.

I like these, especially the price. Almost the same idea as the ones Donald posted but at a much nicer price point. Going to stop while I'm up in Edmonton tomorrow & check them out. Even the wife want some for the new kitchen lower cabinets.
