    I use the darkest peice's as a snow catcher in the winter time for the garage floor. I hate tracking snow all over my garage floor.

    I have one that broke in half I use as a big ass dust pan. LOL. Use it to sweep up the work area at times when I got a big mess going on!

    I reuse the mirror, an I save the lenses hoping someday someone will come along an need them. lol. Maybe I'll just use them to start a fire for the grill next summer. Hrrmm..

    Its ribbed on both sides, so its better than the smooth fronts and backs of the screen. I use it like a welcome door mat. Welcome to the scrap shack, Please stomp the snow off your boots before entering.
