[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 24716, member: 25"]I am hatching a new plan. Now I have access to the shelves in the shed, I am going to take my store of empty plastic storage boxes and start systematically going through from one end to the other sorting stuff into trash, car boot stuff, flea market stuff and antique fair stuff, and packing it in some sort of order. My previous technique was to pick something up, look at it, and generally put it down somewhere else. This is not sorting out, it is just sifting nuggets from a spoil heap. Less ruth is needed. More must go. Because when I have some free shelf space, all the old photographic stuff including thousands of lantern slides and various projectors can come in from the garage and be sorted to some extent, freeing up more garage space. If I make it not quite room enough to put a car in there, really nice 'brown furniture' is terribly cheap here at the moment, so I could furnish the newly cleared garage with Regency and Victorian furniture. That'll go down well but hey-ho, what's the worst that can happen. Yeah, sleeping in the garage. Better get a big brass bed as well. As for channeling the energy, I'm going to need it all , but if the biggest slob in Slobovia can stagger through all this, anyone can.[/QUOTE]
