There’s nothing particularly wrong with this except that it’s a little messy and makes it hard to get a tool out. You have to go through a bunch of tools, and sometimes, they fall over. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a super simple solution to that problem that only requires three concrete blocks. All you need to do is stack up the blocks wherever you want to store your tools. What you end up with is two deep compartments for storing long-handled tools. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The blocks are heavy enough that you don’t have to worry about them falling over, no matter how many tools you put in there. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you don’t have enough headroom, you can use two blocks so you can lift the tools out. This will give you a neat place where your tools are out of the way and easily accessible, and you don’t have to worry about them falling over. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Garden Coffee Break</
