Problem is it all started over again.

Thats pretty much what I am doing now. If it has sat here more than a year or two with me saying "someday I might need that", its gone. Now if it is something with real value obviously I am keeping it, I have a couple big blocks sitting here that wont be making the scrap heap (sorry guys) but even I am shocked at what is finally getting tossed out.

The nice thing though Dave is if it does start over, I will have at least a few years of minimal frustration working around crap I dont really need.

I told my wife last night, after the garage is done I am moving on to the basement. When we bought our house, half the basement was completely finished off. Then a few years ago I discovered a massive leak in one of the foundation walls. So the basement became unfinished. I fixed the leak, and just had all new concrete poured around my house so now we have a completely dry basement, so time to refinish it. Before i do I am going through it, tossing all the furniture that was in the finished basement and we will just get new as a reward for getting it done again. That way I dont have to work around it and keep it protected and such.

This is actually fun, tossing stuff out. Everynight I stand back and admire how much more clear and clean room I have in my shop than I did the day before.
