Scoured the house for all the tools I've left in random places. Still missing a few but I'm getting there.
Bonus: charging station

I’d go a little further and associate tools with use type more closely. Hand tools like wrenches, drivers of all types, and pliers should all be in the same place. Electric tools, batteries and bits all together. Lawn and garden, etc… You’re close, but I’d refine it a bit more.
Just having all your tools in one spot and plainly visible is fantastically dull, and I congratulate you sir.

Yes, but by doing it wrong, not only have I given myself another procrastination project, I've also increased engagement by two comments

Thank you for creating organizational content!

THANK YOU this was my first reaction as well, there's no grouping by type...
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 82d
Grouping was done by proximity to wall

Also, this is kinda how I organized as I went

Out of curiosity and slight discomfort, what is that black object in the top left corner?
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 82d
Pellet gun. Mostly for shooting beer cans but also the occasional pest.
rowdy@piefed.social · 6 pts · 82d
Looks like an air pistol. Shoots pellets and is normally used for pest control.

Just want to plink with the boys sometimes
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 82d
Yeah, I've shot more beer cans than varmints
Creepo@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 82d
Agreed, tin of pellets right below it.
uhmbah@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 82d
My guess, drives nails into concrete?
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 82d
No, but I know what my next dumb purchase will be
uhmbah@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 82d
A gun. Just noticed the tin of pellets under it. :^)

By Day 1577 of your three-day special organizing operation, will the firewood logs have their own wall sorted by size?

Lmao. The woodpile is migrating to the backyard soon. Chipmunks took up residence over winter and I didn't have the heart to evict them in the cold.
In related news, I now store my birdseed and suet in airtight 5 gallon buckets.

Was gonna comment on no battery station then clicked on thread and was satisfied
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 82d
I didn't even think about putting them on the peg board until I noticed the chargers had slots for mounting.
The Ryobi battery fits perfectly into one of the pegboard hangers. The DeWalt battery has slots in the sides where it slides into the tool, so I bent another hanger so it goes into that slot and holds it securely. Not near the contacts, of course.

When you move into a house in the suburbs, you're assigned one of those yellow and blue ladders.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 82d
Hah, that's actually my suburban dad's. He just left it here after helping me with my gutters. I think it's mine now?
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 82d
It's yours. If he needs a ladder, he'll buy a new one. Complaining about how much ladders cost is a favorite pastime of old men.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 82d
I actually just borrowed another ladder from him, too. I'll never get this one from him though. A nice collapsible aluminum ladder, about 20' extended but you can carry it under one arm.
He talks about it every time he gets to use it. It's kind of an inside joke in the family.
I've had it for a week and I've already told my neighbors and now all of you wonderfully dull people.
I'm turning into my father and I don't like it
swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 82d
Why not? Sounds like you'd at least get a cool ladder out of it
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 82d
That's an impressive looking axe. Are you expecting any Viking invasions?
blueduck@piefed.social · 8 pts · 82d
That’s a maul for splitting wood. Usually 2.5-4 kg / 6-8 lbs
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 82d
It's a splitting maul. I split a lot of firewood, got a fire pit in the back and a fireplace inside.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 82d
Also, the only invasion we'd get here would be Canadians, and they'd be welcomed like heroes 🍻
