Today was that day . I roll up the shop door and blow it out first and then I use my shop vac and get the rest. I try to give it a good cleaning out about twice a year. I will actually blow it out 2-3 times a month during the summer after mowing. Our cat guards it at night when she's not sleeping and spends the day inside our house. I have had a shop (2 different ones) for over 20 years and never seen a mouse turd and never had any mice damage or evidence of one. She pays for her keeping.

The shed outside, lucky if I clean it twice a year. The new shop I am building for the boats, probably will stay clean as I don't intend to keep any tools in it. Will strictly be a hunting/fishing garage built around the boats.

The collection of crap in there is now knee deep with a path down the middle. If you can't laugh at yourself, give me a call. I'll gladly laugh at you.

The garage, drag everything thing out twice a year, blower and pressure wash floor, decide what is going back in, versus what I no longer need. If I don’t need it, but it holds decent value$100+ it goes to the shop, otherwise it hits the curb.

The big garage and vehicle shop is straightened up daily and tools put away, or in a lay down area. I use my leaf blower and blow all the dust dirt and leaves out every week. Usually just before hunting season I pick everything up off the floor, open all the doors, and hose it all out and squeegee dry Beer and whiskey, 'cause you can't drink bacon!!

Stuff never repaired, stuff that had sentimental value, stuff I don't know why on earth he kept. There was an "electronic oven" new in the box meaning one of the first ever microwaves. There was a beautiful giant worm drive skill saw on a top shelf with a cut cord that I can only assume he intended to replace the cord on 50 years ago and forgot about it. I threw away at least 5 broken chainsaws. And so much more broken or obsolete tools and stuff. After that long day of cleaning, it made my wife and I go home and start throwing stuff away so our kids will not have to do it some day. I did keep the worm drive saw though. I may never use that thing, but it does have a new cord now.

Need to get rid of a bunch of crap left by the previous owner and get my chit situated. Originally Posted by unclebubba Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Dust the tool cabinets, water heater, etc. I then go through every drawer and container and throw away anything that is out of date or no longer need. Before I put stuff back, I spray every nook and granny with bug killer. coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

If you haven`t worked in manufacturing of some kind, you may not know what this is. It`s kind of like telling grown men and women to clean up their room (work area) and having them whine and bitch about it . Lean manufacturing and 5S are not one of the things I miss about my job since retiring.

That way I can start out all neat and orderly, but it soon devolves into the same nightmare it always does. By the time the project is done I'm usually enjoying it and not worried about the condition of the shop. Tolerance is the virtue of a man without conviction.

Just part of the culture but I don't hold my personal garage and shop to these standards. Originally Posted by onlysmith&wesson I was wrong...on anything technical.

To be fair, our shop had caught a LOT of crap after we moved and it needed to be cleaned out. I rented another, larger roll off before we moved out of TX and filled it up as well. Still got WAY too much crap. I'm going to have to build a new shop.
