Recently while visiting a friend's house
I saw an extension cord which had been wound up for storing
but it was not the usual 'look' of the way most folks wind and store power cords.
Wondering how to do this I found this link.
Check it out. It is unusual and interesting.
Whether it is the 'best way' is probably arguable but it is interesting.
