the wife is so smart - 1/22/2007 6:50:19 PM    epgorge   Posts: 2524 Joined: 12/29/2006 From: USA Status: offline I was reading a post the other day about carpets on the floor to stop bottles from breaking, so I discussed this with my wife. My wife doesn't understand my obsession with bottles but does appreciate their history and diversity. She stops at fondling. Regardless, she is just so smart and usually looks at things in the most simplistic ways. She told me, rather than carpet our entire house (we live in a federal with wooden floors) I should fasten filament (transparent fish line) across my displays of bottles. It works. Post #: 1

We don't have to many quakes but we do have hurricanes an though I have yet to have one fall off a shelf I am still concidering using the idea myself. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 2

You can barely notice it.  Check out the photos under Soda's-Green Fanta and the Tab bottle postings.  I think it is going to work for me. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7
