Squirrels got into my bins because I stacked lids wrong, and a neighbor kid set me straight
A kid from two houses down watched me fighting with my bins for maybe ten minutes last Saturday before he just walked over and flipped each lid so the flat side faces up. He says his dad works at a garden center in Boise and that stacked lids catch rain in the lip and warp, so they never sit flat again. I had no clue, I had been stacking them lip up for three years thinking it kept the seals clean. He grabbed a level out of my garage to prove it and sure enough my lids were bowed about a quarter inch in the middle. The bins let in water and the squirrels chewed a hole the size of a golf ball through one of the lids, and now I'm out $34 for a replacement lid set. Anyone else learn basic storage stuff from someone under twelve?
