He needs to HIRE you to organize his "stuff". It looks like a "new" career for your gold years. LOL The junk straightener Larry.
 
I end up storing things in anything not moving too, then have to unload and relocate to next unmoving thing.
 
I had to laugh when I was out in the shop at the Agco dealer one time. One of the old mechanics was talking about having stuff in his yard. Somebody told him he should get rid of that one old pickup he had sitting there rusting away. He said if he got rid of that he'd have to build a dog house. lol
 
When you get done with rearranging your friends
things, you can come to Arkansas and start at my
place. Don't plan on being home soon once you get
here. Lol.
 
Sometimes with that must stuff; you get paralyzed and just wander about, arranging piles into new piles. Better to have a clean work area and get a project done than crawling between unfinished potential.
Nice of you to help Larry. Says a lot that he trusts you to help him with a hard task.
 
I think I would like Bob. Seems like my kind of guy. Also, I am doing some of that "loose ends" cleaning out now also. Age makes one consider what he leaves behind!
 
Scrap prices must be up? I had over a dozen junker Subarus on my property two years ago in central NY and a local scrapper
wanted to charge $50 each to pick them up. At the time they weren't hardly worth the price of fuel for me to take them to the
scrapper 20 miles away. I had Loyale 4WDs, Legacy AWDs, a few Impreza AWDs and even a few Justy 4WDs. In fact, one of those
Subaru Justys was the last vehicle sold in the USA with a carburetor. 1990 or around that.
 
I guess so,,I told them it hadnt run in 9 years,but everything was there but one fender,I Didnt lie to them,,they offered 125 sight unseen,,Bob said go for it!So they came and got it,,gave Bob a check for 125,,he offered Bob 285 for the truck..its rusty and hasnt run in three years,,Bobs thinking about it.
 
(quoted from post at 07:38:26 12/09/17) the junk whisperer?
Larry, you're a good friend!!

And yes, I "do believe" you have rightly earned the title of....well, maybe not Junk Whisperer, but of being an expert organizer!! I wish I could have my place half as organized as you have yours! ...Of course, it'd probably help if I could have all my stuff in one place as well. *lol*

Good to hear you're getting around better!! This activity will help keep those muscles working.

Now you get to clean out all the junk to put in it.
 
was walking around in the back acres with Dad one time. Hd stopped, surveyed the piles, and said "Some people call this junk, I call it inventory."

Larry, good on you for helping your friend!
