As an airplane mechanic, i guess i use up all my neat freak gene on my toolbox. Everything else is a bit more haphazard. Felix and I would never get along. :D

Seems I can sometimes spend more time finding everthing I need for a project than I spend actually working on it. But then I have an outdoor shop, it's just gotta be in one of those 5 large tool boxes.........(usually)...... :)

I've finally got organized enough to quit looking for things I haven't seen in several years. Lived on a (small) sailboat for a while, it really changed my perspective of what was a necessity and what wasn't. I'm starting to accumulate "stuff" again though. Maybe there is a 12 step program for that...

Yep, everything in it's place and a place for everything, now if I only new which place was for which thing at any given time I'd be in good shape. It always seems like my tools and stuff all switch places after I turn the lights out at night and sometimes when they are feeling really frisky they even do it while I am working!! Just once I would like to catch them in the act.
That's why I voted, 'I know it's here somewhere'.

Steve That's one of the most interesting statements I have ever read, might just have to give that a try.

When I got married, my organization skills went down...
When I had kids, they went down further
When I became self employed... further yet.
When I got divorced, I entered a new dimension of kayos...
It is so bad now that I can even loose papers on my desk... Or go to a jobsite and take everything with me except what I'm supposed to be installing...
Don't believe me?
Just ask Joanie, the Teardrop Nanny, she's my saving grace...
I think she calls it ADD, I call it being spread thin at times.

I can be very disorganized sometimes. :oops: Many times when working on a job if I can't find it right away i'ts cheaper (easier) just to buy a new one.

I know this is bad but that's the way it is some times. :oops:

My dog is absolutely worthless in reminding me to bring anything other than a tennis ball or the frisbee.... Doug :thumbsup:

Don't mean to brag but I am VERY organized. I have everything in the same pile so I know right were it is. I can find the pile, I just can't find anything in it. I started buying those flourescent colored tools so I could find them more easily, it makes the pile much more colorful. Still can't find the tool.

:? :?
