What I have done so far with the pieces I have sorted is:
1. Put all pieces which currently have a classification in my system in one pile
and all unclassified parts in another.
2. Sort all of the classified pieces into three catagories
a) bricks
b) plates
c) other
3. Sort the bricks by size and put into their final containers.
I have continued to break down each pile into smaller catagories, until I finally
have several unique piece piles. Except for a stiff back (from working on the
carpet) things have gone much quicker than expected. I am about 1/2 way
through.
