Now that's a work bench! |
It
has only taken five months but I am finally getting around to organizing my
work space. Within the first couple of weeks after we moved in, I did take the
time to get all the boxes downstairs, unpacked a few, and stacked the rest
neatly in the corner for when I had some more time to dedicate to the endeavor.
With the exception of adding a few boxes and retrieving a few items, this is
pretty much as far as I got with regard to organizing my work space.
The
reason for this lack of progress is simple. It was quite the adjustment during
the first few months in our new home and during that period of time there were
other projects that took precedence over my designated basement work space. When
there was some free time on the horizon a couple of months ago, once again,
there were other matters that needed to be taken care of before I could spend
the time needed below ground.
Now
that a few things have seemingly slowed down and I am finally getting caught up
on the various projects and responsibilities that have been hanging over me
over the past couple of months, the time has come to set aside the time to get
things organized. Of course there is also the motivation (mentioned last week)
to complete a few projects and pull together a number of items to be sold.
Sometimes you just have those moments when you need to cull the heard and with
the unexpected expenses that my wife and I have incurred lately, a little extra
cash would be welcomed.
It
will also be nice to take stock of the parts that I have. While I have a spreadsheet
to track much of the material huddled in the corner of the basement, I am
certain that there are a few things that may have slipped through and I would
like to know exactly what I have before I resume building. After all, you never
know... I might be able to take a few of my personal projects up a few notches.
However, the most important thing is that I will be able to have the space
organized so that, in the future, I can take care of a few things when I have
ten minutes here or there rather than waiting, as I have been, until I have a
day to get things done. That would be nice.
