Oh, another sorting tidbit: Be careful of over sorting. I have bins with 1xN bricks sorted by exact size and color and bagged. These rarely get used during construction. Instead, my overflow storage bins are what is usually used. My overflow bins (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.storage)

Hi! I've read a lot of threads about what to use when sorting and/or building. Most seem to favour the old plastic trays that came with larger sets. I got another idea when I was doing some serious cleaning in the kitchen. In our drawers we have (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build)

Wow. You all have some great sorting systems. The beauty of this project, as I was telling Tim Courtney earlier today, is that I am in the process of gutting my basement and rebuilding it.
