I'm doing it now. As I have been going through and ditching . I have been thinking. Everyones different because everyones shed and what they get up to in there differs but this aside, I reckon that you can get away with frick all in them and just keep tools and a collection of those blue little plastic boxes of split pins, O rings etc. Everything else - buy as required and treat Ripco etc as your extended warehouse. Just thoughts as you grit your teeth and toss goodies. I like what I am seeing though - clear shelves and space!

Yeah and when you chuck out some of the more useless junk you find yourself needing it.

My wifey and son 'tidied' up one of my garages for a Christmas present. Wow. I now understand that i have a 'bit of a hoarding problem'.Over the last week i have been doing all sorts of fix it jobs, while before when the place was a mess, I felt too depressed to even go down there! Slowly learning to let go. Who wants HEAPS of electronics bits and pieces! I still have stuff I collected as a kid 40 years ago.I'm in Picton.

Same here! I've done the lions share of it all and already have started on jobs that have been 'waiting'

The best thing I did was bin all my bolts etc and when I need some I buy double what I need and put them into storage containers. That way I can easily find that nut. Or washer or fuse or connector. My work truck has 7 of the orange storage trays from supercheap. Brilliant.

Wife said WHO is going to clear your shed if I kark it before her, well I said it will not be my problem. But can see the challenge caused. Then again I may be left and who would get that job done. I think I will leave it for another day or two. Ho Hum.

And its often just after you have got rid of it you find a need. You have to ask yourself Can I afford to buy a new one should I find a future need!

I was serious about giving away my electronics stuff - anyone with a youngster with an electronics bent! Circuit boards, components, etc. Can't be bothered selling it- rather see it go to help some young person get into electronics.

I started today, had a bit of a shift around, made the place a bit better looking, Swept up some dust and dirt and have filled one bin with stuff. Butall in all I have pretended to do it. Never mind there may be another day tomorrow. To nice a day to mess around in the shed.

I had a binge on the front of my garage last night (must be the season for it). I wanted to clear all my weights equipement to use it to get fitter for our cycling season. It looks great but the rest is just as bad. A lot of what I need to get rid of is old paint - household (from rental houses now sold) and car paint I'll never use. I'd better sift through that and take a trip to the recycling centre.
