Help!

My name is Kevin and I am a Legoholic.

I don't know what has come over me. I'm spending way too much on Lego! In
the last 2 months, I have spent over 4000$ on the little plastic bricks. I
have accumulated more parts than I can ever use. And forget about ever
sorting them even if I could live to be 150!

Boxes are piled in the basement, the bedroom and the living room. Sets are
displayed on shelves, the kitchen table, in the cupboards and in drawers!
Furniture is completely buried. We lost the dog under some boxes for a few
hours the other day.

Those darned holiday sales are to blame! This one is always better than the
first one. One store trying to beat the other store. 20, 30, 50% off!! When
will it all end??! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelllllppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a grip man. And then get organized.
If I can limit LEGO to a single room (BAYLIT and all...) So can anyone.
1) Disassemble all your sets.
2) Separate all packaging and instructions (parts rule afterall)
3) Recycle all buckets (their recyclable)
4) Sort all parts by shape into separate tubs
  (Yes, you _can_ do this - hire the neighborhood kids if you have to)
5) Put them all up for sale on brickbay - you'll have more $$ to spend.
6) Buy more
7) Repeat at step 2)
8) If you happen to break out of the 2-7 loop, simply mail the entire lot to
me... who has the process perfected. (I'll pay shipping, so you'll have
something to show for it all)

(...) Nope. There is no way possible for me to fit all of my Lego in one room. It already fills one room (including the attached bathroom and large closet) and spills out into the kitchen, dining room, and TV room. IF I threw out every box and (...)
