I am trying to figure out where to store these things.
At present , in my entry closet which is not ideal. Thinking about perhaps hanging them in garage right outside the door.
Just figured I would see if someone has a great solution.
thank you
Check into fasttrack by Rubbermaid. Gladiator is the heavy duty version.

We have cabinets in the garage. I ran screws into the three non-door walls at various heights in one. Most of our brooms, mops, dusters, etc hang quite nicely on them.

We have a tiny broom closet-something that wasn't there when we bought the house but it was created when we moved a pipe from the upstairs bathroom inside our built-in pantry. We lost some shelving in the process but we now have a place to put brooms & mops.

Since there isn't a lot of room in there, what I did was put up a few of those 3-M Command hooks. They are cheap, come in different sizes, and can be put up in a matter of minutes. They can also be taken down if need be without hurting the wall/paint.

Put in a new Bosch 18-SEER heat pump, which produces 120-degree heat at the register. My highest electric bill (all electric house) was $160, and that was with a really brutal summer. Winter bills are under $100 a month.

I'm enamored with the little electronic food scale I bought last week. Now I know exactly how much I'm eating when measuring food with cups and tablespoons doesn't quite work.

I just bought one of those to do fecal samples on our goats bt they are great for measuring food






My husband and I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend who has an odd assortment of tools but never the right one. Anyway there is a very good sale on it plus you can get a $20.00 off coupon and it has excellent reviews. It's a complete household tool set on wheels

Staying with the tool set ylisa7 mentioned if you know a computer tech or someone who uses small tools this is ideal. I have this set and it's a life saver for glasses, computers, tablets, anything that requires smaller tool bits or a spudger to loosen case halves. If you need to open your tablet for example you push a spudger between the halves to pry it open. Using plastic doesn't damage the case and gives plenty of leverage.
