It is, however, wise to label at least one drawer or bin "Somewhere Safe", and another one "The Obvious Place".

Anything you subsequently cannot find should be in one of those two places :lol:

That is the perfect solution. I'm going to label half of my drawers "Somewhere Safe", and the other half "The Obvious Place". That way I'll always be able to find it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well one strike for order achieved today, the mill is in the workshop. Not back together yet but up the steps and inside out of the rain. :ddb:

Mill and lathe moved are two steps forward, but had to take one step back due to rain -- had to pile everything I took out of the shed back inside -- still without building shelves or other orderly means to deal with the clutter. :loco: HOWEVER, I put them mostly inside the storage shed, NOT the workshop. It helped that the storage shed had more room due to the vacating of the mill. And it will shortly have even more room when I move the rolling tool chest out.

Looks like we will just have a night of heavy rain, and then clear weather for a spell, so I'll trot all the stuff back out again :loco: :loco: and then start work on shelving, etc.

There's light at the end of the tunnel! :beer:

Many years ago I had to act as the company liaison officer with the British Standards Institute when the company was going through BS5750 accreditation (forerunner of ISO9001). An inspection was due at our Livingston office in Scotland, so I went up a couple of days before to check that the local staff were organised. Everything was fine, paperwork in order, everything suitably labelled. BUT the first impressions were AWFUL ! Stuff everywhere, jammed into odd corners, piled high - looked dreadful. Absolutely nowhere to put anything to tidy the place up as the office was too small. I called a local lorry rental place and got the biggest van they had, and parked it in the car park, and got everything that could be, shoved into it. We worked late that night but the transformation was very dramatic. Next morning, Mr BSI walked in, got the right first impression, and the rest of the inspection was a breeze. Passed with flying colours! Left the local staff to unpack only what was essential from the lorry and scrap the rest.

Point of the story: is there no way you can create a temporary, albeit rather ad hoc, storage to avoid all the double shifting to let you sort things out?
