I do the same with the larger parts...the vertical nesting stacks. I have to
do the same, always running to the shelfs. Drives me nuts. I also have about
twenty Plano thin, clear boxes (with lids) for the smaller parts. That
helps, but still always running back and forth to get the appropriate parts.
My biggest problem is my small apartment in NYC that *requires* I put
everything away when I am done building. Oh to have an empty basement!
