When you reach the "point of no return" which I have (and probably Terry also),
sorting in and of itself becomes way to labor intensive. I end up with buckets that
are nothing but bricks of assorted colors, with the windows, fences, slopes, rounds,
clears, arches, tiles and desireable specialty pieces removed. I have about 40 lb
of unused specialtly pieces that isn't even worth the bother to go thru. I just
don't have the time to even sort it for auctions, etc. Sometimes I feel badly
because someone will ask if I have a specific piece for trade. Well looking thru
several hundred boxes, buckets, etc, gets to be pretty crazy, and time consuming.
I'm to the point where I will no longer buy regular bricks because I have so many of
them still unsorted.
Tired of sorting,

| It seems you have a problem most of us would want! ;) Can I help you sort it out? My town will need lots of bricks in order for each building to be architecturally sound...
