messy workspace . or abit O.C.D

[xpackken]

I hate the way my garage get sometimes , i go for weeks sometimes working in a mess , but doesnt it feel so much better to work in when clean and tidy !

 

who else is a messy worker , and whos going to admit to having obcesive compulsive disorders

[RS2kSX]

Tom (Tom28) and his dad......

 

helped to an engine/gearbox swap and the place was a mess, couldn't find half the bolts as they were put on the gravel drive.....

 

Tom, clear up the Mess

[Jiffer]

I must admit when I have a finished a job I do like to have a good clean up put all my tools away so I have a nice clean start and clear away the empty's

[over_head_cam]

I normally have shit everywhere by the time I've finished, but I do like a tidy-up at the end and come back to a clean workspace. Most of the time it looks like (dis)organised chaos

[dave waudby]

ive got ocd really badly so im always very tidy

 

dont have a workshop but my shed is tidy

[moredoorAsh]

There's nothing worse for me then having a spare hour or 2 on the motor and having to tidy up the mess i'd left from the time before

 

Tools at least are wiped and put back where they sleep

 

I've had to ban my dad from putting them away,as he never put them in the correct place. He's only trusted to clean if needed and put in a tidy pile on the floor

my garage is a mess at the moment, as i don't have enough shelving/storage boxes.

[Savvi]

I said to my mate the other day "i'm going to have a major clear up in this workshop"

 

His reply " Are you looking to buy a bigger toolbox then ?"

 

 

Needless to say any tools i need are normally where i last used them

 

 

I blame it on always being busy

[Posse]

I have deffo got that my tool has to be clean.

[GT_Jim]

I prefer a clean workshop but thats because I had it drilled into me whilst working on my placement but sometimes I can't help but make a mess when I am busy

[xpackken]

i hate that i cant just put things back it takes me ten minutes to find a spanner lol , and if i buy a set of tools they dont stay a set fpr long !!!

[5hane]

its quite funny, in the garage i have tools / nuts and bolts EVERYWHERE, but my tool box at work i always spend 5 mins after doing a job tidying it up

 

its much nicer all tidy, once i sort the lockup im going to try to keep that tidy

i like the idea of having a tidy workspace but in reality it just dont happen, i'm fookin useless i'm sure i have some form of altzymers- i've spent hours looking for stuff i had in my hand just a second ago- either that or i'll go to the toolbox and stand there wondering what it was i went to fetch only to realise its on the floor right where i've just got up from

[Mrs O/H/C]

Lead foots garage is a nightmare..about once a year i have to spend a weekend taking everything out ,organise it all then put it all back in tidy

and i bet it takes him about 11 and a half months to find where you put everything

Same here - all the time!!

do you end up going on the same trips to Halfords to buy the same size spanner 3x over as well?

[V8ian]

At home both the workshop and garage are a real bombsite, Garage is worse at the noment as I only really use it for keeping my cars in, then fills with tat untill I need to get the car out,

At work, Im quite anal, tools are spotless,and put away in the right place every time. then clean the workspace and tooling
