As discussed in anther thread, I am working at various small jobs around the house.
Yesterday I was sorting a cupboard in my office, moving office supplies to another shelf. As I worked, I realized that I would retire before I could possibly use up the file folders on that shelf.
Today I took an hour to sort screws and nails and various other cr*p in the garage.
Here is what I learned:
1. I am turning into (turned into?) my father. I found more little plastic containers (including in the small storage drawers) that all seemed to have three drill bits, two nails, an allen key and a screw bit for an battery operated screwdriver - which didn't match the screws in the container. why?
2. In said small storage drawers (a unit like this this https://www.harborfreight.com/40-bin-organizer-with-full-length-drawer-94375.html ) I found more than once two drawers holding the same thing - like roofing nails but never enough to fill one drawer - why?
3. As I started into bigger bins where nails and screws and stuff had just been dumped for years, I realized that I will not have to buy small finishing nails for the rest of my life, or small wood screws or likely wall anchors and the list goes on.
Sigh, as I did it I could hear very clearly the conversation my children were having as they cleared out my stuff after the funeral and laughing because dad couldn't throw anything away.
