   And the layout fo the room--



That might be just a WEE bit overorganized, that you drew elaborate diagrams ... :)

One of the thoughts was, ‘Hey, if Lar++ (1) ever visits our humble abode for a cuppa LEGO, I’d better be able to easily find what he requested or I’d look the fool!’

No, seriously, it was. With that, and probably more mainly, I’m trying to reduce the amount of time it takes me to find a specific part to add to actual building time. Of course, 3.5 yr olds have a different method--big piles on the floor. So sorting day is always like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Lately (past 3 weeks) he is actually helping sort a bit--since I sort by colour first, he’s getting very good at that. However, as soon as he finds a minifig, or a boat hull, or a motorcycle, or, well, almost anything related to transporation, well, there goes the help :)

And the pic is a little outdated already--I’m down to 2 and a half totes of unsorted stuff now--that makes me so much happier.

With that, I do have one tote completely full of tires (‘tyres’ for those across the pond) and wheels.

As well, almost the entire top shelf is baseplates and toolboxes now.

And you will note I still ahve a tote full of instructions that were suppose to make their way to a friend in the US of A... Some day... :) Letting ya know, they’re still here!

I also have a tote overflowing with just bionicle bits--and it’s just bionicle bits--all bushings/axles/friction/frictionless pegs and anything else that can be used to build a Dave’bot to whup Chris’s heinie in any robot competiton have been removed and sorted into my technic collection. So it’s just like arms, chests, masks, brains, feet, weapons, etc... and it’s full (5)

1. substitute Larry for, well, anyone who may visit just to see the LEGO collection.. (2)

2. btw, that is a standing invite for everyone--when in The Mighty Hammer!!, look us up and come over for a meet ‘n greet--we have an open door policy (3)

3. a proviso--it is a townhouse, so, say, your LUG of 50 members might have a wee bit of ‘shoe horning’ if y’all visit at the same time...(4)

4. though, to be said, we did have that many ppl in our abode for my mom’s wake, so we can do it

5. and looking for a good home for anyone that has some spare cash--seriously again--I will never use it. I was mildly interested in bionicle and I love the absolutely fantastic builds that I see ppl make using these parts ‘n pieces, but I’m not that builder, nor do I plan to be. There’s no need for me to have an overflowing bin of bionicle pieces...

(...) Mmmkay! If anyone ever visited my place they'd be appalled at how disorganized it is. Mostly I'm just in awe of how it's such a totally over the top use of Visio. :) (which I have used in the past for trying to decide what buildings go where) (...)
