Cleaning Shop

Three days back and a lot of shifting furniture and finally the shop is arranged in a fashion that is both visually appealing and much much more functional. What took so long? Mostly my co-worker hemming and hawing about how to rearrange and not actually doing anything about it. Oh, we kept talking about getting rid of one shelf, moving the ironing board, shifting the desk and computer into the corner...

She could have done so much in that week I was gone. Everything had already been cleaned, sorted or emptied. The stuff just needed to be moved. And none of it was really that heavy when you get right down to it. Just a bit bulky. So after her last day...of her again doing pretty much nothing...I moved everything around. It took me a scant two hours.

And it makes an enormous difference! The space is no longer dominated by the one Goliath of an industrial shelf. Just getting that out of the shop lightened the whole room. It's so open now!

We have a more defined office area and shop area (best part is my back is no longer to the door when I'm at the computer so people are less likely to scare the crap out of me when they show up unexpectedly).

I'm thrilled with the layout. And more productive too. Even with the occasional bouts of procrastination I spend online.
