Well sorta. I've got a few more hours of inventory work. But the big green truck stopped in front of the house today.

congratulations!!!

Welcome aboard.

Just a word of advice-----------label the bags as you inventory them. Most of the aluminum stock is pretty identifiable, but the bags are not. It is much easier to find a bag labeled "round head rivet, #4x6" than looking for the list so you can go and find bag #1234.

Even better is to use clear containers like a few have posted.

Time spent at this point will return ten times the investment later.

Good luck

Ahh those photos bring back memories of unwrapping parts and having about a mile of kraft paper to send to the recyclers! Welcome.

Thanks!!

If you look at the second photo, you'll see my workbench in the back.

If you look closely, you can see three clear mini-drawer cabinets. I managed to go through all the baggies last night and get them put away in appropriate labeled drawers! Tedious......

You will thank yourself later.

Best tip I got

Tim Olsen gave me the best tip I got when I began, and that was to order extra rivets. in the most popular sizes, and to also order the Oops rivets. Unless you live in a community where you can pick up rivets the same day, this will save you considerable time, as Van's in not overly generous with their rivet count.
