Half of Conan's basement is a room with the sorted containers, where stuff
is built. The other half is largely overflow - large Rubbermaid containers
with bulk stuff (not just bricks) that doesn't fit in the building room.

We did a lot of the teardown in the garage, which helped. The basic bricks
went into large Rubbermaid/Sterilite containers, with most of the 2x2s
still assembled in the columns we use for the "honeycomb" interiors of the
modules. Everything else went through a first-stage sort and then got
hauled down to the basement to be sorted into the actual bins/overflow. I
think we finished up this week (but I thought that a few weeks ago too. ;)
The teardown and sorting really wasn't too bad, many hands etc...
Anyway, on to building again! Once we finish haggling over at least some
of the gross details of the layout, that is.
