I had no less than 4 people, out of the whopping 4 people I know on TikTok, send me this video. Are they trying to tell me something?
LOL My daughter one day said I like those little library's that you see in front of people's houses for kids. Off to the garage I went, built from scrap wood. I bought Attachment 46868Attachment 46869Attachment 46870hinges and plexiglass. I built it to mimic her house. She loved it.
I shall not be showing the video to Mrs Davies. “All that stuff!”
Whenever you fix something that the wife uses, never overlook the opportunity to offhandedly mention how you used that (real or imagined) whatsit "that I've had lying around for ages" and how happy you are to finally be rid of it.Quote:

My problem is I know I have the exact item that I need, I just cannot ever remember where it is at, so end up having to go out and buy it anyway.
I've long contended that the major advantage of computers for the layman is not their speed of computation but their speed of search.Quote:

Now, when you need to retrieve it, search on its name or, having forgotten that, search on one of the associated words.
It all sounds a bit OCD, but, believe me, it's infinitely better than sifting through dusty stacks and boxes.
I have self-diagnosed myself as having extreme T.A.D. (tool acquisition disorder) and H.A.D. (hardware acquisition disorder) these mental conditions are often fed by one or more of my other high spectrum disorders. Not the least of which is my A.P.S. (auction participation syndrome) If a tool in an auction catches my eye, I'm going to place at least a minimal nuisance bid on it. Should the tool be contained in a mixed lot along with an assortment of other items so much the better. When it comes to bins, trays or drawers, denoting contents included. I will bid on it, regardless of the unknown quantity or types or even quality of hardware contained within. I now have literally dozens of those plastic and small metal assorted parts bin cabinets with hundreds of little plastic trays in them. The eclectic assortment of hardware I own will rival any good ACE, TrueValue, or even Home gone to pot (Home Depo) hardware isles. I open each bin or tray to see what treasures are contained inside but that is about as far as I go to catalog the contents. 5,6, or even 10 years down the line I might be doing something that requires an odd item. I usually remember I have seen one in my inventory; I may have seen it many times through the years but was it in a blue, red, gray, yellow or other color parts cabinet? Or could it have been in a metal drawer? For me sometimes the search is more fun than finding what I am looking for because I will see so many things I'm not even aware of still having.
These same guys did a good job with this entry for the TikTok short film competition. Note their use of reflections. 1:20 video:
