I did too, but only because the weather got above 30 for the first time since November.

:grin: I've really been having some guilty thoughts too. My truck's certainly not messy, but perfectly neat is a goal seldom achieved. I'm constantly tweaking things and adding and deleting truck stock items.

When I first started in this trade. I worked for a company that on every Friday we had to wash our trucks before we got our checks.This was at the shop and on our time.To this day I cannot stand a disorginized truck. In a service vehicle you have very limited space to stock an entire electrical supply house.Most electrical supply houses are very large buildings.Mine is a Chevy 3500 with side bins. lol Everything has it's place. A place where I can find it when I need it. Example; all you need is a 1 1/4 Meyers Hub to finish a job.....you dig...look...dig.... look....cuss..end up having to go to the supply house.Next week your running 3/4 EMT you open the box of 3/4 one hole straps and you find 10 3/4 one-hole straps and a 1 1/4 Meyers Hub. Drives me nuts!! My helpers know not to mis match my materials cause I will go off for days! lol I'm old and bitter I need Feng Shui not Sanford and Son. :grin:

I guess it's official, I must be a hack.

I'm a messy person. You see, it doesn't matter to me. I don't mind messes (with my stuff). If you are paying me to do work, that's a different story. Your stuff will be looking good and work correctly and installed per code.

My stuff, I just don't care.

(except food messes, no food messes and keep the kitchen clean!)

I think I found my long lost twin.

Cheers
On a more serious note. Yes, customers do evaluate an outside vendors vehicle. My vehicle stays at the shop. My choice. It does not get the care and respect it deserves. The only thing I am a stickler for is maintenace intervals.

I'm doing the same thing. I have come to an arraingment finnaly that seems to be woking better. I've been on several jobs lately where every thing was not in a state of higgly piggly afterwards. Its taken a long time and a lot of re-arranging to get there tho.
 
Gaaaahhh!!


I look at that and I see money wasted every single day.


Everyone is at well over a dollar a minute these days. Just finding one item on the bottom of that pile equals one gallon of gas.

It's time for him to attend an MMA meeting

Hi my name is __________ and I am a mess maker.

Many years ago we had a guy that let his van pile up with junk, when he left we went thru the truck and founf over 50 items that were purchased over and over, because he could not find them in the mess, the dollar amount lost was well over 2K
