274839 | Darrell <larchmont479@g...> | 2021‑11‑30 | Shop cleanup |
Galoots My shop is a mess. I usually have my Galoot BBQ events twice a year. That always forces me to actually clean up the shop. You know, put away tools, shovel up the shavings, sort offcuts into Burn It or Save It, sweep, vacuum, and all that. But with covid and all, there hasn't been any reason to clean, because no guests and, uh, lazy Galoot. Next week I am having a shop guest. We're going to be making some side rounds. So now I have to clean the shop. After 2 years of messing about and piling stuff everywhere. It's a good thing I'm retired now, otherwise it might not get done in time.

I have cleaned my shop every day this week. Every day. But even if I showed you before and after pix you'd barely notice. The good part is, lots of things have been repaired, rehandled, refinished, resharpened, rearranged, sorted.... I did sweep up one measly bag of floor mess, doh haahaahah yours scott wishin I had Esther coming -- ******************************* Scott Grandstaff Box 409 Happy Camp, Ca 96039 scottg@s... http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/ http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/index.html |

We recently had both cars 'detailed' by our dealer. MLW's car had the remains of several bales of hay scattered throughout its interior, brought home from the garden centre in spring of 2019, as well as a bin of miscellany. Nice having them clean again. Workshop ---not so much! Don On 2021-11-30 9:04 a.m., Stager, Scott P. wrote: > > On Nov 30, 2021, at 8:14 AM, galoot via groups.io<http://groups.io> |

I have a lot of stuff that I have accumulated in what is actually a fairly short time. I just keep thinking that my estate sale will make a lot of people happy! Not that I've got anything planned - I'm still in the accumulation phase.

Don't want to give the > border police any reason to inspect me ;-) Yeah, I cleaned off about 3 ft of the bench prior to heading up to Madison-Bouchville this past August and it's back to being 3 flats deep at that end. And the truck, well that is kind of my secondary storage for stuff, since I don't have much in the way of uncluttered space in here. There is a young guy down in Virginia that sells tools (he used to live up in New York) that has been hauling some of my less desirable accumulations out of here (to the tune of at least 10 12x12x8 Post Office boxes full, plus a number of larger sized boxes) and it's barely made a dent in the piles... But I keep on keeping on.

This sounds so familiar. A few years ago I decided I wanted more light in the cave, and that the thing for me to do was to shift my shop from one end of the basement to t'other, where the windows are more numerous. In the process, I had to shift all of the stuff we had in storage both for ourselves and our daughter. Many, many hours of boxing, shifting, dragging and carrying later, I then had to start the process of unboxing and organizing. I'm not sure I could bring myself to do it again...
