re: Shop cleanup

MsDebbieP – glad to see you here helping the site develop.

Not a hoarder, did not consider myself a packrat until this past weekend. I wonder if a 12 step program exists. It was suggested that I’ve never met a garage sale that I didn’t like, maybe I could start there.

MJCD, I’m happy with the progress. Multiple heart attacks, bypass surgery fixed any anger problems I had, or will have. I’m constantly reveling in life. I have gotten rid of things, now getting a few things I’ve always wanted.

Murphy’s law is alive and well. I was going to put my planer in a more stationary location; no 220 on that wall. If I don’t do this now, it’ll never get done. It seems that I do a lot of planning in real time.

I have taped some of the ceiling and walls, and can say very confidently, I suck at finishing drywall. My wife has suggested that I paint stripes over the joints and call it art. I think Norm would say it’s really celebrating the joint.

This is a hobby. Lots of projects planned, no deadlines to worry about.
