Organizing Basement

Some good ideas. I just cleaned ours out and got rid of things I thought we would need or use. Havent needed or used them for a couple of years so things got tossed like the oil change pan I bought to soak and clean the grill grates in, I bought fish pole holders to put on the back wall so lines didn't get all tangeled in the aluminum lawn chairs. Got rid of the bag chairs and used that compartment for the garden hose. Coiled the rigid 50amp cord into a bucket and keep all the adapters, dog bones ,30 to 15 amp accessories ect. in that same bucket. Always carried a complete tool box but not able to do a lot of the work because of health and would never use that many tools and it would have to be a major repair so I made the tools available smaller, hence a smaller tool box. Just have to evaluate every once in a while and get rid of what you just don't use or could get by with out if an occasion arose that you might need it. Tools I now carry, a 7 in one screw driver, a puck wrench that I bought at menards, 4.00 and an adjustable wrench, small vise grips. A small supply of electrical, fuses elec.tape wire strippers and son connectors. Teflon tape for plumbing needs. Never have used those tools much less the sockets and other items I carried.I probably removed 40 lbs from the basement and made room for nothing .We were carrying a sattlelite dish and the tripod but we are doing with out it for now and are going to get the tailgater dish. Wife had things to put backut like I told her, "We don't have to fill every inch of open area!" Especially when its me that has to put things away when we get ready to head home from the local campground and she goes to work from there.
