Title: I need to get organized....
Post by: slowtwitch on January 22, 2010, 05:29:26 pm: At least that is what the better half said (love.........My wife came over to my basement work bench and made a comment...."Cheez....what a mess!!!!" :icon_puke_l: "How do you get anything done in this mess" @7@ Stunned, I couldn't understand what she was talking about shocked I have everything organized. I know that the nuts for the manifolds are under the terminal spool, or the vacuum fittings are behind the small battery and the small barrel nuts are tucked away safely under the type 4 rods. What is this woman talking about screwey))

Here are a couple shots of my organized mess LAUGH@

that is organized compaired to my work bench! I just last week went over to the garage and got my tools. ( the garage is 7 blocks from the house ) They were sitting since late September from when I had to stop working on the Bradley. I got tired of searching all over for a screwdriver when I needed it at home!

Women just don't get it!! screwey))

Post by: lovebus (jack) on January 22, 2010, 10:16:54 pm: Looks like a normal work bench to me Pete. A guy made a comment on one of my videos, he said how can you work in that mess and I replied, its an organized mess.

Post by: 66-Ghia on January 23, 2010, 06:48:59 pm: John: you are the man BO** Back when we had the addition put on our house the contractor built us a BIG basement, with an office room, a complete darkroom with all the latest air filter systems, water, heat etc. than a very large family room. Over
the years it has become one big storage area. :wallbash: ./// So Holly had
a storage shed built out back for garden tools etc. four years ago I bought a canvas
"garage" for the ghia and my tools etc. that didn't work out to good for all the tools I now have (thanks to harbor freight) then two years ago Holly and Ray bought and
assembled a work shop complete with air, heat and handicap work bench etc.
I hope I can keep that looking half as good as your work area looks. :icon_cheers:

So I started to make some sense of the mess :icon_cheesygrin:
