I pick up tools and equipment. That really isn't the problem. It's the pile of scrap steel next to the trash can, it's a couple snowblowers, a couple of blades, about 3 cubs, the air compressor and motor scattered about that I bought and was going to fix and flip but then didn't get finished. It's the motor parts lying in a pile that I'm in the middle of rebuilding. The tractor that has been in here for years in pieces that a customer and I both lost interest in, and now is just here. A truck stripped down, sanded bondo'd and almost ready to paint that just isn't done yet. All the equipment that had to be moved to get that truck in the shop area it is in, and is now shoved to the side and in the way. Parts and pieces that were saved for "future use" and just need put on a shelf, but the shelf is full.... Sooooo the shelf needs sorted out. Throw the stuff that has been there for years out, and make room for new.

It's that kind of thing. 5000 sq ft of work space and only maybe 1800 free. Gets old. Need to finish up some stuff that has been in here way too long and get it out. Need to ask some customers if they forgot about that thing they were supposed to pick up, or didn't want to finish "just yet". That kind of mess.
