I think I have a problem...

I guess that is what happens when you don't throw away any minicell. Ever. Same problem with other elements of outfitting...

I have that problem, and live in one single 5' by 9' room in university halls of residence (with my three boats), it's becoming a real issue.

I don't get it :-? What's the problem? Looks like a fairly decent stock of foam. I am impressed w/ the organization.

Does that Viking blade need a good home? :wink:

OH, the Bear Branch suace is even better than the Shealy's :P :o :D I didn't think that was possible!

See now that is why Scott posted! He does have a problem! Too much order and nicely boxed materials.
He needs to learn to place those scraps in trash bags and stuff them in his garage along with that OC!
Not enough clutter! Don't worry Scott - I'm sure the kids can help you out there! :wink:

I roughly sorted them and consolidated (creating two empty boxes) and found some big pieces I'd missed (enough for a pedestal). Took some old ethafoam plus some coroplast campaign signes and made an archery target. So proud of myself til I found a bag I'd overlooked! :o Anyone ever make a boat from minicell scraps?!

Scott, I can give you a course in 'How to turn a neatly organized place into something resembling a war zone within 5 minutes!' :lol:
Trust me, I am the master when it comes to that :lol: !

well actually yes.... a guy down south of here works at a Meriwether plant, where they make the stuff... he played around w/shaping one a couple years ago... need to ask how it turned out, he was going for a playboat ???

oh, about that 12 step program...

1 - convince wife that you need a new boat
2 - finding someone or time to bring back - that hard to find gem of a boat
3 - locating another pair of those bomber thigh straps

Scott, my basement looks the same way! Last year I went through and attempted to "consolidate" all the good minicell pieces. I meant to throw out all the useless pieces. I think I put them all in a special box . . . and you know, I don't think that box ever got thrown out . . .

Some cycles are just unbreakable.

Anybody ever justified buying a new boat just so that they could use up some of their minicell? Um, me neither . . .

All you really need to do is:

1) obtain one large cardboard box (three hundred cubic feet should do it minimally...);
2) place all of the minicell scraps in it;
3) label it "Pieces of Minicell too Small to Save"
4) and place it behind all of the more immediately-needed gear.

Problem solved...

Box up all the foam and send it to me. I promise that my present similar stock will not be jealous.

Cut each of the scraps into 2" x 2" x 2" cubes and have your son contact-cement them together to make a bigger piece. This will not only give you a more usable size, your kid will have glued himself together so he can no longer get into trouble. :roll:
