LOL, you my friend are smart or brave. The couple of times I let my SO loose in the shop it was a tidy hurricane! When she has something in her hand and says "whats this and do you really need?" gives me the extra umph to say toss it. The only time I regret it is when I've got something that is actually working for me organizationally. Stuff somehow always dissapears into the black hole never to be seen until maybe the next move if she goes through it. Looking good!
Oh, she most assuredly asks 'do you really need this...' quite often. But her fine organizational skills are coming in so handy.
Not to mention the extra 'muscle' I seem to be requiring lately.
Now granted I have a ton of 'useless' crap, however when you need it, it does save money.
The other day she wanted me to setup something that we hadn't used in over (5) years.
I had to inform here that we had tossed out the box that has those in it and I couldn't make it happen. She was a bit downcast but I did manage to find one piece that had escaped the trashman.
The other thing I do is a price search on the web and show her, but that only works when I do use it for fixing something.
Now when it comes to her old Cadillac, or Buick or the Riding Mowers, used is always more budget friendly than procuring new.
We have a couple of friends that come over,
only when they need something fixed and always make fun of my 'clutter' UNTIL that need THAT piece that I happen to have in a bin.
Another buddy always says why don't you just run out to the store and buy it when you need it....
1.) Fuel Cost, & 2.) Cost of the piece or part.
That's my justification and I'm sticking to it!
