Please include links to pictures, explanations as to how you made your choice
and just how far down does your sorting go (i.e. "Every brick has it's bin" or
"All red bricks are in 1 container"). I figured I'd ask here first so as to get
a good idea of WHERE to even start ;-)

Another one of these threads is going to force me to finally do a full
photographic documentation of my sorting system, I think.  At 250,000
pieces, my collection is fairly large, and is sorted very rigorously.  I'd
say 99% of the pieces are sorted by type or by type AND color.   The
containers vary from Bulk tubs to tupperware bins to tackle containers, with
lots of ziplock baggies abounding.  The current basement project layout
shows the grand details, but doesn't get into the finer details of the
chaos.  Once I'm done with my current reorganization/sorting scheme, I'll
probably document the whole mess.

(...) handle that load again ;-) Adrian, that is one plush building area that you have. I'm surprised your wife hasn't banned you to the garage. I can understand why you were banished from the upstairs ;-) Thanks for the link and good luck sorting. (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
