I have the “can’t do that until ...” issue!

I can’t put my potting bench together or build my 2 raised beds (bare minimum is 2) until I get the shop cleaned up enough to know where my tools are & to have space to work.

There is a huge pile of boxes that were in the shop that need burning .... can’t do that until I get a calm wind day after 4 pm. due to current regs during wildfire season.

And on & on it goes. :-)

Would help if I took a bird's eye view of things but I'm a details guy and often overlook the big picture. Now I have many things in the way of many other things and want to make a circular driveway but there are things in the way like the coup. I have too much stuff. To really finish burning, I'd have to move 50 things, burn those areas and move the 50 things back. Rain has started and we have three full days of rain coming so that's not happening for a while.

I need to make a scrap run, a dump run and sell and/or fix some things.

Got too much stuff in the house too. Yes, I have the standard tote full of wires, AC adapters, USB cables, printer cables etc. Might come in handy some day. 😂

Temp dropped from 59 to 52 since rain started but supposed to be a high of 78. Weird and probably wrong. Just stuck a thermometer outside. Feels chilly and moist. Might dig at a garden bed and if it's too chilly with the wind or wind blows rain on me, tidy up the shed which is a mess.

Speaking of boxes, the 24' travel trailer is loaded with them. Good time to burn them in this light rain and make room for some stuff. The shed has too much stuff in it and much of it things don't I need right away(and some I probably should just get rid of)

I need a rule. If I haven't done anything with it in 3 years, trash it. I've got a him/her twin bathroom sink from the house I tore down for materials to build with here. That was 12 years ago and I've been divorced for three. Got a single sink to match. That old yellow swirl color/design that was popular after avocado green went out of style. LOL
