Beer fridges! I remember those. One of the saddest things about getting older. Then something else and oh, the memory starts to go. I still love beer, but if there is much around I start putting on weight. If they could make beer from brocoli, I might be able to find an exception. The one thing that drives me to lose weight is being able to fit in my driver's suit...

YOU LIE!!!

I can tell by the cleanliness of your garage/shop that you never work on anything. You're spending too much time organizing and puttin' stuff up to have any time to work.[/quote]


The opposite is true the place is used all the time but because I cant stand looking for things for the sake of the few minutes it takes I put everything away at night and have a clean up. I used to be a mucky bugger but worked with a clean freak for a while and a bit of it rubbed off on me, its just a better place to work. This week , a gearbox change in a landrover, a clutch in an l200, brake discs on a ford transit, new rear light units on a truck,welded up some different mounting lugs on a forestry mulcher and fitted a new starter on the forklift. I still had time for some work on the toys and the workshop is still clean :)

THIS is something I need to get better at. Alas, I am still a mucky bugger. (I must work that term into my daily life now) :D

Hello. My name is Chuck and I am a Mucky Bugger. It has been 8 years since I last cleaned my workbench or garage.

There!

Hi Chuck. So I see you are a clean freak too.

Hardly. I cannot work where I am constantly having to put things away. It slows down the creative, and any other form of, progress. And I know exactly where, and under how much clutter, each piece of scrap left over from last year's project is. If I cleaned up, I wouldn't know were anything is.

I organize by piles.

I know what's in each pile and approximately how far down in the pile it is. That goes for my paperwork at the office too.

Don't touch it and definitely don't move or put up anything or I'm lost. That's about the biggest fights my wife & I have.

I've got to use that line about it destroying the creative process. That's a good one.

regarding paperwork and the wife re arranging it.

i was half way through a house purchase involving a lot of money, my wife had "filed" the paperwork somewhere but i had a phone call that urgently required the paperwork that now i could not find.

after the phone call i called her at work, she said it was filed in, oh i don't know, somewhere.

i spent 2 or 3 hours looking for it but to no avail. when she came home i asked her to look for it, which she did and after another 5 hours she found it in the trash bin outside with the three news papers that she had read the day before.

so i nailed the paperwork to our new dining room table where it could be found easily with very large nails and placed a claw hammer next to it so i could remove it if required!!!

Even when I file the paperwork I can't find it. It seems that the logical place to file it isn't always the logical place to find it.
