Mui uses disposable gloves to do all kinds of chores around the Phaeton. They are especially handy when dumping the tanks.
At first, he was keeping the box of gloves in the wet bay, but that wasn’t ideal. So, he shopped around for a dispenser he could mount on the inside of one of the basement doors.
Nothing he found really fit the bill, so he started thinking outside the box. From a thrift store, he bought a mesh inbox — you know, the kind that you put on the desk to collect bills and whatnot — and he cut it down the middle. A couple of snips of the cross wires on the bottom created a wider opening to make it easy to pull gloves out. After filing down any rough edges, all it took to then install the dispenser was a couple of self-tapping screws.
Total cost: $1. Can’t beat that.
When the box is empty, it can be slid out from the top to replace it with a full box.
The dispenser is on the inside of the basement door where Mui installed
the custom-built sewer hose storage tube.
