2) Going well prepared is good - enough other stuff will go wrong
without setting yourself up for a fall ;- I have cheap stackable
Tesco's toolboxes (also in Wickes for more money) - 1 Plumbing, 2
Electrical tools, 3 Electrical odd bits (sleeve, earth blocks, random
stuff), 4 Screws and rawlplugs, 5 Screwdriver and power driver set.
Means I can grab and stack the right boxes for the jobs. I'm told
buckets also work quite well.

Problem I face on a daily basis Tim :-)

On the van I carry a 'first response' bag with tools likely to be used every
job; tape rule, hammer, stanley knife, screwdrivers, level, filling knife,
scraper etc. I have a plumbing bag, an electrics bag, a drill/fix bag
(combi, driver, charger, spare batts, screws, about 9 types/sizes of
fixing).

It does double up on tools sometimes, but being able to grab that bag & know
I have everything is a real boon.

Then plastic boxes holding plumbing stuff, electrical bits,
silicone/gripfill etc.

Just inside the workshop is the decorating box, laminate floor box, tiling
box etc.

Its the only way I can keep organised, I can't be doing with going back home
for something.
