More organizing of tools has occurred and I’m coming down the home stretch with my newly hung pegboard & a small number of loose tools to deal with.
I have wanted a tool box on wheels for a couple of years now, especially since my old garden was a small distance from the garage/shop. I have a tool ‘bag’, but it had gotten so heavy, it was a pain to lug around; plus, no organization, just everything jumbled up in there. The last time I needed something, I pretty much had to dump everything out to find it.
My new garden will literally be right outside the shop door, but I often need tools for projects in/around the house. Since the shop is getting really organized, I’ve decided to grab what I think I need & use a tool carrier dad had for toting those items to the house. The carrier has pockets & dividers so some organization is possible. When I’m finished, the tools will mostly go back to their spot in the shop. I have a couple of favorite items I find myself using just about every time I work on something so those items will likely stay in the carrier. The whole ‘getting organized’ project is a work in progress, but so far, I’m far enough along I no longer have to go ‘hunting’ for something I need when I can’t remember which pile or box it’s in. :-)
My work area is cleared off enough I can start building my 2 initial raised beds. I have 3 beds I built for mom that need filling with good dirt & I don’t want to haul or have it delivered until I have my 2 beds ready to go. Another one of those “can’t do that until” issues .... :-)
The ideal thing would be for those wheels to be small bicycle rims/tires, 10-12 inch but this is only temporary while I finish the tunnel.
More ideally is to have multiples of some things and keep them where they're used. I decided I need another multimeter so I have one in the house and one in the shed. I already have a tire plug kit for each vehicle.
We'll get there. :)
