Time to clean the shop

There is another type of cleaning the shop that helps the bottom line. I will survey all the items in the shop that are just taking up space. If they have not been moved in say a few years I will post them on Craigslist. If someone needs it more than I do it will be gone. Makes them happy and space is freed up in the shop. I now have more space available to store more new junk.:sidelaugh

JUST A THOUGHT HERE

Hartland--That shop space looks good--and you are 'light years' ahead of me...Boy--I've got to get mine done in some sem-balance so I can 'project -up' this winter....
However--I did find and consolidate all the house painting supplies and suh-not I had last month and they fit in two big boxes--so I should never have to buy another brush or scrapper.:fing32: Old paint over a year old went to recycle ing place...and of paint ever freezes'==chunk it.

On lookout now for more good stuff to fill the spaces.

Mine opens about half way. I've been thinking about getting a new door that swings outward. That will surely solve my problem.

If it were to open outward,,you would have to stand to the side every time you opened it ,,,,, or be injured by falling ,,stuff.:sidelaugh:sidelaugh my shop is only 3 years old, and I can't see most of the floor or either work bench .

It is only fair that I show the less cleaned side of the shop.

Maybe less clean, but by no means in any state resembling disarray.

I really admire my neighbor's garge. On any given day, it contains two cars (60s mustank, driving work in progress, and their newer Malibu. On the walls a couple Mustang posters. A small maybe 3' shelving unit containing a few pairs of shoes and cordless drill charging station. That's literally it. It is absolutely immaculate. Even the broom and dustpan are in their shed!

I need to get closer to that goal, if even in the garage that's attached to the house.

Your fastidious neighbor probably has someone else do the work on the Mustangs & Malibu. Probably has a mower shop do all the work on his mower as well. From a medical standpoint He is probably immune to Hoarders Disease.

Incorrect on all points but the hoarder disease. He's VERY meticulous, and an overall great guy!
Does most of his own work on all his stuff except the malibu, which is still under warranty.

Well I cleaned the shop... not the garage... I haven't seen the work bench in my garage in 15 years. It holds two vehicles, the pickup and the Dodge Journey. It gets swept out, but it is piled high on the garage bench. And since you guys haven't posted disaster photos, I'm not posting photos of the garage bench.

I've always believed, and lived by, that if you can see any portion of the workbench, then you don't have enough stuff on it.
