been using a variety of storage systems. I have the containers for the bulk
bricks and various size tilt bins for the more smaller parts.

I know some people don't like the tilt bins, but I love them. They work
well, open easy and give me easy access.

As for how to sort, I've been first sorting out bricks, slopes and plates.
Then I've sub-sorted the elements from there into color and size. A lot of
my unsorted bricks are currently in 60 gallon tubs:

I hope by the end of the winter to have all of it sorted....but of course my
6 year old son will unsort a great deal of it by then.
