The folks at The Family Handyman are awesome. They are always my 'go-to' when I need to DIY something. I love them! And today I wanted to pass along some valuable info that can help everyone, not just a few people, but everyone.

We all need hiding places for our valuables. I'm talking about things that you can't or don't want to put in a safety deposit box at the bank.
