A fortnight ago, we completely emptied the 'van.
We now have a guest bedroom filled with clothing, books, toiletries and the like.
We also have a garage filled with chairs, buckets, ramps etc. etc. I'm sure you get the picture.
Yesterday, (a Sunday for goodness sake) Mrs. Emmit suggested we should tidy the garage.
Eh!
What!

 

[Boris7]

I must confess ive never heard of a cheese head before, is it the same as a cross head?

Don’t the Germans call the Dutch Chelse heads as an insult?

 

[bigwood]

e used to call the Dutch"Glogies". They thought we were being funny.

Nirvanauk I like the cash register

[Garfields]

The problem with having garage clear outs is there is always a tiny chance you well need something you have disposed of sometime in the future even if you haven't for the last thirty years
I'm happy to give things away if I think folk can use them
I did get rid of some Austin Mini tools to someone that has a collection of them. I'm sure I will not be working on mini's again, I hated them when I was getting payed for it. I'm not going to do it for fun.
Also some tools to a Harley owner as they well get plenty of use of them
Having a tidy at least reminds you of some of the stuff you have stashed though

 

[Ukeman]

I promised myself that when I had a moment, I would sort out my collection of screws. Separate the countersunk from the cheese headed screws, Done that..... this lockdown does funny things to your mind

Now you've got to organise them by size ....

I have all my medium and small screws in flat hinged lid plastic boxes which are segmented, different sizes, types etc, 2 boxes have flat heads in, the other domed/round etc, plus one for metal washers, another with fibre/other types of washers, nails are in 2 similar containers ... yet another with smaller nuts and bolts etc, etc ... unfortunately when my hubby wants a screw (stop it you smutty lot!) he has the knack of knocking the container over so they all get mixed up again!

Why am I not surprised by your efficiency Mel
Unlike others, I am doing the opposite, I want a bigger box of very mixed screws, connectors, washers etc for the van as I could not ever carry or need individual boxes of 200 screws.
The same with my toolboxes, I always try and make sure I have at least a handful of different screws, washers & rawl plugs etc when I have to go fix something away from home.
Trouble is if I haven't used something for a long time, I forget I have it, or cannot find it !

Ah, but just wait til it’s finished, which will be in about 2 weeks. I can’t rush it as I live next to a spring and in winter the walls get very damp. Good job the house doesn’t!

I bought a box of mixed screws from the centre aisle in Aldi, in sections by size. Sorted, literally.

 

[Sundowners]

Trouble is when it’s a mess, and can’t be found, down the shop to buy more, also takes so much time to look for it. Nigel always says I know I have one somewhere, grrrrr. I used to put everything in place and tidy up for Nigel but no longer able to do it. He seems to like it in a mess, but does my head in. I like to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

 

[Sundowners]

Pamalas idea of tidying up is to pack everything away into impossible to get at places-- takes too long to access anything!!!!!
When she tidies the house she has everything without a proper home moved to the shed!----- anything out in the garden is tidied into the shed!!!----------- but I will be the first to admit that I have never spent time tidying my shed----- my main excuse is lack of time!!!!------ that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!!!!

[Charlie57]

Life is too short to tidy the shed....unless SWMBO says it needs it

Probably best to lock and loose they key
