My shop is currently in train wreck mode.

My dream house---
Four car garage with attached kitchen.

The garage and work bench got ab annual ritual cleaning and organization every Memorial Day morning. ...

So, to honor your dad, I guess we all know where you'll be on Monday?

Haven't used the garage for cars in almost 30 years

LOL. Many municipalities' building codes require a 2-car garage for a new house. But they don't specify that you must actually put cars in them, so the driveways still have cars in them and in the summer when the garage door is open, you can see that the "garage" is full of stuff, which as previously stated, will expand to fit the space available. In many cases, the increase of new stuff requires that the old stuff be moved into a rented storage facility, where it will be forgotten about until the owner dies and the relatives have to sort it all out.

Furthermore, "stuff" is randomly parthenogenic- it manages to reproduce without the usual mechanism that causes everything else to do so. For example, a socket wrench can mysteriously beget several 2 x 4's and 3 work gloves. At least that seems to be the norm in my basement workshop.

In 1987, when our first German exchange student had been here a couple months, he made a cogent observation:
"Americans are very strange. You keep $50,000 worth of cars in the driveway, and $3,000 worth of junk in the garage."
He was so right!
