Storage and Sorting...

Well, after not having sorted in about a year, I decided to plunge into it and
try to clear out much of my backlog.  That was about a month and a half ago,
and I am still not finished...  I doubt I've hit the halfway point, actually...
Word to the Wise:  Don't put off sorting.  ;)

Anyway, I figured I might as well get some pictures of it, and scare everyone.
:D  So, without further ado, here it is!

Told ya it was scary...  ;)

Now for description time!  :)

The first 20 images are fairly self explanatory.  They are all drawers devoted
to a specific part or part type, from slopes to arches, animals to plates.

Next we have the brick bins:

11 large and 5 small tubs devoted to different types of basic bricks.  I'm
getting close to needing more, too...

Two shots, taken from the doorway into my little room.  The differences are
due to me taking them on different nights.  :)  In the first image, you see
three empty boxes.  One held my UCS sets, and the other two held my Droid
Fighters.  Those Droid Fighters were actually rather fun to sort...  :)  In the
second image, you see a box full of polybags.  I needed to clear out some space
last year, so I opened a number of my sets and just dumped the bags into this
giant box.  :)

Here you see some silver buckets, and a lot of empty boxes.  You can also see a
small portion of my anime collection!  :D

A few shots of parts sorted into ziplock bags, most of which I haven't found
boxes to store them in yet...

A few overview shots of my room.  Cozy, isn't it?  ;)  You can see the drawer
units I use to store some Lego parts (I have two more in my bedroom, but
haven't filled 'em yet).

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=31528
Here you can see that I presort parts.  I seperate tham into the trays and
boxes, depending on where the destination bag is located.

One of my (Lego) boxes of sorted parts.  I currently have six different set
boxes that I use in such a way, but I'll soon be adding a couple more.  I doubt
it'll be enough, though.  :\  I need a new sorting method...

Here is another shot of that box of polybags...

Yet more unsorted Lego, including Garden Playmates!  :)

Well, that's all for now.  Hopefully I can get my bedroom cleaned rather
quickly after I sort (of course, that may take a few months...), so I can get
some pictures of that.  There is lots more Lego in there!  ;)
