Clean up the basement--Confessions of a cord horder.

Step 10 TADAAA !!! THE ARISTOCRATS!!!!

---

In all seriousness, this took about 2 hours. The pole is terribly solid, and the hook was just there and I forgot to pull it down. I figured with all the weight of the cables it couldn't hurt anything. 90% of the time spent was to de-spaghetti-ing the wires. If your cables and cords are neater this could go much faster. Then again, if your cords and cables are not a mess, then you don't need to do this I imagine.

This isn't my personal idea by any stretch. I have seen this trick in many homes and copied it to work for me. In my last home I did the same thing in a old closet that wasn't used much. Its not a clever trick or anything, but I found it a helpful method to store cables in some sort of organised fashion.

I've been sorting my cables for the last two days.  It's been 6 years since I sorted through them.

Thanks, this is probably the way I'll go to clean 'em up for a while.

A buddy of mine read this and came up with a better title for it. Phoenix @ 6:54 That's a guide that should be called: "From a messy floor to a clean floor (a guide to making your wall look like shit)"
