Those with the clinically laid out sheds,never experience the joy of being re united with something that was "irretrievably lost'

Sorry I have been gone, I was out throwing rocks at my shop.

After that tour of Glen's shop I'm just gonna lock mine up and throw away the key. Although I do have admit I like 38HAULR's attitude and guess I'll adopt it. Appropriate useage fees to follow.

You mean you sometimes actually find those lost things?

Ok...obviously its not always that clean...I did pick up before taking the pictures.
But, I dont do any grinding in the shop. I usually grind outside or if its a big project I will take it to work and use the shop there. Once I had the bandsaws, I never used the chop saw again.

One of the reasons I am so thankful for everyones input is because I'm due for a change, As you can see, and so I've built a new shop not wanting to have this happen again.

Where in BC are you?

I live in the southern interior. Lillooet country, where we can't log the mountains any more so we let them burn.
This old shed was incredible. Full of cars and time. All the old tools scattered all over and two Model T pickups completely disasembled in the corner. Engines, wheels with the frames standing up against the back wall. I believe the Buick is late 20's

as far as the compresser goes it can be wired to a contacter switch , then it will only have power when the lights are on

Hey, this garage cleaning is OTAY. Today I found the pitman arm and steering joint for the Toyota box in my F-1 that I bought from No Limit on one of the recent trips to the Roadster Show. Like two or three years ago.

I've built myself a "safe" box.

It's literally a trunk size box about 4w x 2h x 2d and it's the "safe" place where I put the things I don't want to lose.

When one is full then I'll build another.

I have lost soooo many things over the years putting them some place "safe" where I won't lose them and then never seeing them again.

Iake a look, and see if my Buick exhaust manifolds are in there.
