What is a ground selve? I'm assuming this is a ground sleeve? Is that the crimps some guys use? We have shelves built into the vans and some drawers too. Nail on boxes and remodel boxes are in three rubbermaid containers because I haven't found a better way yet.
Also not to be a spelling **** but at the end you are looking for etc...
it stands for et cetera. That's one of the only spelling/grammar things that really irks me. ect... ext... and so forth.

I don't store them, I buy material after the customer gives me a deposit and keep it in plastic Home Depot bags in my trunk until I could get over there to do the work.
