Steve, that's it. That isn't a mess in the shop it's a theft deterrent. I like your logic.

my logic too... ... ...if thieves came into my shop they would think, nothing here, the place has already been ransacked.

Steve I second your fathers thoughts. I think the tank of gas they filled there ride with may have saved me money too. Was always rather careful to lock the gas tank, as my kids played around it. I hauled something for a friend and had them mind the hose as the Chey C 60 filled. They did not lock the valve on tank. The tool box that was taken was more parts storage and specialized tools. As they filled their gas tank went through the tool box and pitched all sorts of things not tools. Was most of a year finding things as they throw some a long ways.
Was working on a pickup rear end. Tools all over under there, all they took there was the jack.

 Sounds like my shop. I used to know where everything was. It got out of hand real fast when I couldn't get out there for a time, and others used things, that may or may not have gotten put back where they found them. Last yer I started cleaning and tossing, and I found a large flat surface I used to call my welding table. I post a pic on facebook, said it had been covered for a decade and somebody commented "How did it get that way." I said, "I made it flat when I built it!" The welding table is now nearly covered again, but I did more cleaning in the west half this spring, where the CA sits in a pile. I now have room to get to the engine stand to start work on it, as soon as I find that "roundtuit" tool that Hubert mentioned. Maybe after the neighbors corn is put in, I can finish the "She Shed" and move all my garden tools out there, giving me another 10 feet of wall space to use. I'll bet SHE will notice it though and may complain. |

GREAT thread!! I HAD a work bench in the small barn, I can't find it right now though. It COULD be under all that ......... My daughter sent me a pic with a guy whose yard is full of farm stuff and it says; "Boomer parents: One day this will all be yours. Grown children: Nooooo!" and my daughter wrote; "Sorry, not sorry!  " I guess that means she wants me to clean it all up before I pass.... I (almost) always put the tools away, but the parts and pile that I'm working on just sits and IF I can find a place on the workbench....well, that's where it'll be.
To wife; "NO, it is NOT a mess, I know where everything is!"........until I forgot.

I had great intensions to go out and do a super cleanup of the barn this past Winter. Then I remembered, there's no heat in the barn. Looked at the thermometer- +20 Nah, never mind!! This thread came just at the right time. This past weekend I started the super cleanup! Tools under the 620, tools on the model T's running boards, tools under the Nova wagon. Found the cutting pliers I was lookin' for on the seat of the Victoria. No wonder I couldn't find anything. Sheesh, I had crap everywhere but where it belonged!  Steve@B&B

Haha, guys, are you talking about how, after cleaning, you find things you thought you lost? How many times has this happened to me! I was even in trouble when I noticed that my wedding ring was lost. I knew my wife would terrorize me because of inattention. Do you know what idea came to me? I decided to call a cleaning agency. I knew that if I searched the house alone, I had no chance to find anything. So I requested the cleaning service from https://endoftenancycleaningnearme.co.uk/end-of-lease-cleaning/, and they found my wedding ring.

Update since my last post...it was posted before retirement... As of July one I am now doing what I want to do...which means I do have time to work on cleaning the shed. I have a long way to go cause I clean by piddling , finding things to take my mind off of cleaning. And I have fixed a few bicycles that needed some minor work. They are ol' junkers that i have when people come for a get together. Now I need to work on some of the kiddy size ones. I was able to play a little the other day with the WD-45 and Oxnard blade with extensions. smoothing out rough ground in the yard. Peace...
