I learned a long time ago to never accept "gifts" from neighbors.
?Last guy tried to give me a broken week-eater that needed a fuel
hose - guess what would have been expected of me once I got it
running?
No thanks, I've got my own sh*t to deal with.

you never know when any tool may be of use!! May not be for plumbing
but some other wierd application.
Just put in drawer for future use if ever needed
When I need a tool, I buy it. Been doing it this way ever since I
started working with tools in high school, and especially since I
bought my home.
They really do tend to add up over the years.

Chuckle. Especially for disorganized people like me. Very frustrating,
knowing I own a certain tool, not being able to find it, and running out
and buying another one to get a job done. I'm 3-4 deep in some stuff by
now. Mostly cheap stuff, thankfully.
I really need to take a week of vacation, have somebody confiscate my
car keys, dsl modem, and satt TV box, and do nothing but sort all this
crap out. But there is always something more interesting to do than sort
stuff. Need me a SWMBO, I guess, since I seem to lack the nesting gene.
I wouldn't expect her to do the work or anything, just keep prodding me
with a stick.
Better go see a doctor...I don't recall seeing any man say he needed
someone to nag him

) There are professional organizers who will come
in a bring order to a home...my daughter hired one, after I spent about
five years resisting the urge to just dig in and take care of it. I did
vacuum her furnace ducts and other little things, but felt guilty about
that

) I used to organize my husband's tool closets (condo, no
garage) but it isn't worth the punishment....he has filed for divorce,
but had a small stroke so I guess things will go slow. Picking up his
s--- will be good occupational therapy

) I didn't wish it on him, it
just happened
