OHMYGOSH! Did I make this mess???(and some tips)

Project by Cathy Krumrei posted 271 days ago 774 views 0 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Some have seen my clean shop…well… this is what happens when I am doing a project. The place just totally exploded! But I had a blast working on my project!!! Also, wanted to share some storage ideas. If you have run out of those little boxes that don’t hold much…I keep things in these large jerky containers and if I have alot of the same item they all go in one container. The rest is just..goodies you don’t know when you will want them. I got these where I had worked, they had been throwing them out…until I rescued them and brought them home. I’m sure if you ask they will let you have them when they are empty. I can see what is in there and roll it until I find it. Or I do the next best step-dump it out on a tray. Then dump back in. Also I love these as they stack this way or thataway. Mine I set under the sander stand I made. Keeps them handy but out of the way. I thought of making a box holder but had room elsewhere. Well, I have coffee on if you want to stop by and help clean the door is open! LOL

There room for more storage. And I can see the floor so room for another assembly table.

Easy to solve this—-just get a bigger shop and it won’t seem cluttered. It’s always worked for me.

I blow more sawdust out of my nose than what’s in that pic. (LOL)

Mine is trashed too… it looks like a sawdust beach in my shop.

MESS ?... MESS ? ...Well I don’t want to brag but I once won a contest for the messiest garage (my shop) And those large jerky containers…great ideal. I use two and a half gal. Pretzel containers. But they don’t stack very good.

As Crocodile Dundee would say ” That’s not a mess, this is a mess” but I cant get into my shed to take a photo. Why, it is to big a mess.
