O K, I know - a clean shop is the sign of a sick person. But, I decided to take advantage of the 46 away

to the body shop for a few days and clean/organize the shop. I was amazed at the "stuff" I had forgot that I had or had given up for lost. Now, for a short time, the Missus won't be saying "what a mess you have out there".

My shop looked that good once. When I first built it. Great looking pop bottle holder you have there!

IVT1 · 04-28-2012, 11:25 AM

Looks good, you must be one sick dude, enjoy it while it last

Lawson Cox · 04-28-2012, 11:57 AM

Now you are making me feel bad because my shop is not clean by any definition of that word. Cleaning out a shop is something you have to do yourself, most any helper will surely throw out that part made from "unobtainium" thinking it is trash. LOL

Now you won't be able to find anything.

every time my wife comes into my shop she says i need to clean it up, i tell her to go into the house!

Vic Piano · 04-28-2012, 07:51 PM

Lookin' good there John.

I'll keep a broom handy for you when you get back to the sunshine state

as I can't keep the garage clean for even a day...

That old motor is taking up too much floorspace... I can take it off your hands to help in the cleanup... least I could do.....

That's funny Bredan. My wife is one of my "sharpest" tool's, without her I could not find half my stuff.

She's right, I need to move stuff and look behind it. I find what I'm lookin for every time

Is that a drink holder or a place to "go" when you need to without going inside and dirtying up your wife's bathroom?

John, now that just looks way too clean and definitely not enough FH 'stuff' around on the walls and floor

. The stuff that is there must be very lonely. With a garage that clean and empty, you need to start renting out space to us fellow hoarding friends who are completely out of space

. I would be first in line to bring a couple truck loads

....just don't tell Barb about this plan

I agree with 39portlander, whenever I drop some small part & can not find it I call for the wife & she usually finds it.
