All the boxes my LEGO is sorted into are rather large, so while building,
I tend to stack them around me. However, in order to be able to reach
certain pieces, I often have to move boxes around or shift them, so most
of the time, the boxes are precariously balanced. When I reach over to
grab a box just out of reach, I sometimes lose my balance and set my hand
into the unsupported portion of one of these precariously balanced boxes.
If I'm lucky, the pieces spill only onto the carpet, and not into half a
dozen other boxes...
Enough rambling,

| This is perhaps my biggest problem whenever I'm trying to rebuild an old set. The piece I need is ALWAYS in the one box that has been buried under all the other boxes. Dave Bram Lambrecht <braml@juno.com> wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.general)
