If you’re tired of constantly untangling and tripping over your extension cord, try turning a 5-gallon plastic bucket into this handy cord caddy.
- Start by using a 1½” diameter hole saw to drill through the side of the bucket near the bottom.
- Next, insert the pronged end of the cord through the hole from the inside.
- Store the remainder of the cord in the bucket.
- To use, place the bucket near an electrical outlet and plug the end of the cord that extends through the hole into the outlet. (It’s a good idea to spread the cord out during use to keep it from overheating.)
