[AT] Cleaning the shop (or not)

[Charlie V]

I would like more buildings, but I know that in time they would be as
crammed full as the ones I currently have.  I too am afflicted with the "I
might need that for something some day" disease.  I am going to have to
loosen up a bit.  If I leave everything to someone else after I am gone, it
is sure that a lot of the really good tools will go at a yard sale for a
couple of bucks and the rest will go in a dumpster.  Even children often do
not have the same perspective as we do.
