And tryin to find stuff later won't be a problem.
Boss gave me today and tomorrow off from buildin clubs and subs, so I decided I'd start the front gears of my Jeep install.
....okay, so where's the damned wrenches to start this crap?! Oh yeah, strewn about the garage after spring cleaning.
So I've decided I'll just organize all my tools according to size, use, and frequency of use. The weather wasn't warm enough for my likings anyway ;)
Did I mention I'm a perfectionist? That means cleaning down all my tools, making sure they're all in working order, etc etc.
Holy crap, who'd a thunk that two tool boxes FULL could take so long to gather, sort, clean and organize?! It took almost as long as it does to clean my room. (yeah, still live with the parentals, yeah, its a small room, but I have way too much shit and need to move out asap, blah blah blah).
In the mean time, gotta make sure all tools are mine, and return my fathers that are rightfully his. (we end up swapping from time to time too. he has so many more its way cool to just lean over the bench and snag a couple).
So in short, remember kiddies- use a tool, put it back when you're done. Don't just toss it on the top. That's how messes are made, and the few seconds it would have taken you to put the tool in the drawer is now multiplied by the amount of tools stacked, divided by the nastiness of the accumulated dirt and grime, and then squared by the amount of time it will NOW take you to go through it all. -And have a few beers in the process.
