Yeah, Chris' place looks positively empty! 

You were saying?

This is just a few shot of the upstairs...

So much...STUFF...unsorted...waiting to be put away.

Lots of work to do. So much space being taken up by stuff that needs to be put away.

Now looks better. lol

Now looks better. lol

Every room in the house has piles like this. Furniture waiting to be assembled, stuff waiting to be sorted, recently unpacked items where the bags, bubble wrap and boxes need to be taken care of, etc. I keep moving from pile to pile as needed. But, at least the washer and dryer are now fully installed and working!

Can't even see my desk surface...

I just have no storage at all...

I wouldn't do this now (wife to think about), but when I had no room, I took over the dining room table! 

Prior to that, the kitchen table (didn't have a separate dining room then)!

This project is languishing a little at the end here because of the damn weather! I need to get out in the shed and drill / cut some stuff, but the weather keeps going back to winter mode and I've now had to move a lot of stuff into the shed to get it out of the way for the destruction of the metal shed / garage. I really need to wrap this project so I can get it published / posted. Little frustrated. 

EDIT: I guess everyone gave up trying to guess what it is.

This is at the entrance to my shop, looking towards my workbench/desk. That super-bright screen behind my monitor is just a window with a closed Venetian blind. 


This is from my work area, looking almost directly backwards (slightly to my left.) You can see a tiny bit of our kitchen out the door.


And, this is looking to my right (when sitting at my desk.)[/i]

So yes, Chris, your work area still looks positively empty. I need to get rid of a lot of stuff, so that I can get back to working on the projects which interest me most.

And, FWIW, at least it's not as bad as Jon Williams: 

Not that that is saying much.

Sorry, I got the wrong first name. Jim Williams was a genius analog design engineer. He had a pretty messy desk. The Computer History Museum has a page about him, showing some of his desks (https://computerhistory.org/blog/an-analog-life-remembering-jim-williams/).

His biography also shows some of his desks (https://hunterwlong.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/jwbib.pdf)

Analog engineering consultants, SpecialtyCircuits, has a list of his Application Notes from when he worked at Linear Technology (https://www.specialtycircuits.com/list-of-jim-williams-application-note-at-linear-technology.html).

This project was supposed to be done at the end of March. Here it is Almost the end of August!

That seems about right - I have way too many of these types of projects.
