[AT] shop cleaning

[Ed Christopherson]

Be careful with those plastic totes. I have hundreds that I store parts in
and learned right away if they are expose to sun light and have metal parts
in them they sweat and things like mags the aluminum  corrodes. So I drill
vent holes under the lip. The outside tote sometimes still get water in them
but mostly from being under snow.

Subject: [AT] shop cleaning

Hard to get into carb icing when it is 70 degrees outside. Decided yesterday

to do some cleaning in the shop. I must say the main workbench had gotten to

be an embarassment. We have a rule about not using the shop to store equip. 
Now I must make a rule to limit how much spare parts inventory I keep in 
there.  Since all of our storage in there is full, with no room for more, I 
am going to pick up some of those plastic storage boxes that seem to be so 
plentiful (and often on SALE) this time of year. I am planning on packing up

some of my spare magnetos, carbs, etc. Then I'll move them to a more suited 
storage area. Of course if Santa would drop off a bunch of lumber we could 
add on to the shop....
