Andrew, you hit my problem at its core -- that's exactly what I HAVE been doing! :palm:

Great story btw. And smart that you only allowed them to take back some of the clutter. :thumbup:

But I've got another shot at using the great outdoors as temp storage while I work on shelves -- we just had a cold front that passed through overnight that stretched from Canada down across the the entire US, north to south, then across the Gulf of Mexico to landfall again deep into southern Mexico. Very impressive looking unbroken line of storm on the satellite map and radar -- looked like a continental windshield wiper.

Behind such a huge front is clear weather, that looks permanent! :beer:

AdeV:
Which way was it going (the front)? If it was heading East, then we in the UK should get a month of uninterrupted rain starting next week... (we usually get your east-bound leftovers...)

Andrew,

From 1966 until 1980 I worked for a large electronics engineering company in Ilford, Essex. The company had many sites and the company big-wigs would occasionally come on visits. (If the local manager was in favour, he'd get a tip-off - if not, they'd arrive unexpected.)

We were supposed to be very tidy, only one piece of paper on the desk at any time and all that. One particular no-no was piles of paper on top of filing cabinets. As I was a 'coal-face worker', my desk and filing cabinet were usually awash with papers. :bang: :bang: :bang:

When we had warning of a VIP visit, I would stuff as much paper as I could into my filing cabinets and get a beefy colleague to help me shut the drawers. Anything that was left over, I used to put in large brown envelopes, address them to myself and put them into the internal post just before the VIPs arrived. By the time the envelopes had gone round the internal mail circuit and arrived back in my In-Tray, the VIPs had gone. Never let me down! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi there, Andrew,

Well, close but no. It was Horns Road and then Uppark Drive, actually. Right company logo though.
