Thread: Level 4 tidy up. What have you found you forgot you had

Found 10x 500 3" cases I forgot I had
That brings it up to 35 rounds total on hand once I load them

That's 3 or 4 shoulder crushing sessions there

Sorting out and shifting some of my huge old shop sign collection



Ah those were the days
Remember when good coffee only cost $2.80

I found enough cafe menus like the coffee one to line a whole wall in my new machine shop area

O the simplicity of that menu.... And soy was 50c back then, but no almond/oat/rice/coconut

Had a tidy up and found I have at least a dozen small tiedown strops, and a decent collection of big ones. Now tidily rolled up on a shelf

Nothing. I'm OCD about everything, the wife on the other hand...

found a security camera thats been waiting to be installed since i cant remember when

I knew I had a lot of truck blankets from when I sent Joinery all over the country

Chucked 30 of the roughest ones in the fire pile but there are still about 150 left !




At the rate I'm going I should have the 30m2 junk catch all cleaned out by the time SI goes to level 3 and I go back to work
Then it will be a dedicated machine shop

@akaroa1 - my garage looks about as crowded as yours - only it’s two utes, a car and a motorbike that’s filling it. (And about a gazillion parts etc for them)

It doesn't usually look that bad
But I'm shifting everything out of the machine shop space
Some will go to the timber store
Some will be kept
I have found enough left overs to insulate and line the 30m2 area
Found all the power points and light switches I need
Have enough circuits left on the mains to do it all
Just need to relocate two 3 phase circuits there

Anything you can see that you want just ask

Thanks for the offer, in return you wouldn’t happen to need Mk1 and Mk2 Zephyr radiators in good order by any chance?

...a wife and kids?

Ya gotta love lockdown: lots of firearms to clean, fondle, dream about using again.....lots of fishing gear to upgrade, sort, maintain, dream about using again....how did we cope without lockdowns?

Shit that last photo makes so very happy!

Found enough polystyrene insulation in my site container and timber store to insulate the entire ceiling area of the new machine shop




I just wish a few more of my hand tools were home and not miles away on my building site
