This is worse than waiting until Christmas morning to open presents! 

Yeah, who was I kidding saying I was going to bed?!!!!! I was so tired last night, wanted to check in quickly with the only persons who would probably be truly interested in this adventure. I got my PJs on, hoped over the couch from the back..... because I couldn't get to it from the front, lied down for about five minutes. ..... and then went back to the couch around 4 am going through the tools that we had brought in from the back of the truck. The whole trailer is still pack and backed up to my front door! OH, happy times.... who cares if I'm broke!!!!!!

here's some quick pics I took

I'm not sure the pics will do this justice, but this is a HUGE tool chest I got

BIG williams wrench!

Wow!

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!

Oh my Lord!!!

Wow there is so much bird. I like it all. You must be very happy right about now :)

VERY HAPPY....... well a little frantic and overwhelmed..... but mostly VERY HAPPY  I'm just trying to figure out how to get all this stuff some what organized.  I just got done moving all of my books (100s of those, too) off my shelves in my office.... Three wall to wall shelves that I built in. My desk is built in to a little cove, it has four corner shelves over  it--- can't move those books because they're all tool reference books, and my endless notebooks of notes that I know I've taken but can't find. I suppose I could just look stuff up on the internet, but it's not the same as a book. Usually, I can find something quicker in a book then someone can on the internet.
       Anyhow, the first problem is that I literally don't know if I have enough space for all these tools in here!!! But, right now I'm more concerned with organizing them somewhat before I pile more boxes upon boxes and never find anything. I can put some stuff in my shed- it's water proof and not that full. SO, I'm trying to make a pile of tools that will require more "attention" so that I can move those to the shed. Then, I'm trying to grab out the really good looking stuff that I won't have to do much to to sell.
      I have a goal to list at least 20 things per day on ebay. But, I don't want to list to many of the same things at one time----- don't need to flood the market with a million stanley transitionals, ect. Then of course, I'm not even bothering to make a "keep" pile because that's a dangerous thing to do!!!!! As you can imagine, I have a ton of duplicate stanley planes, other stuff. I've got close to half of the trailor unloaded and into the house. ' 
         I have one neighboor that bought the house not too long ago and they only come here for vacation ..... so , I don't really know them. I guess the covered trailer backed up to my door peaked their curiousity. Then, it didn't help that when they walked over, I was heaving huge 32 inches and greater planes into my wheelbarrow......
"Before you even ask, the trailer is full of antique tools and yes I'm crazy."
     I went to my brothers house today to pick up annie (the dog) for a week while they go on vacation. Emily said to me, "Aunt Birdie, I think Annie might drown in tools at your house."
"I'm not sure if she will, but I might."
"Don't do that, Bird!" Timmy chimed in.
"I'll try not to."
Steve said, "Dad came over this morning to help me with my truck."
"Well, we all have our addictions."
"At least you've found a way to make a little money at one of your hobbies.  All mine do is cost me money."
"Did you forget how in debt I am right now?"
"Oh, Bird, you'll make it all back, you always do."
I think he has more faith in me then I do.
Well, back to organizing!
cheers
overwhelmed bird.

I see a tool museum opening in the near future.

^no doubt- kid in a candy store feeling.

Huge and gorgeous!  And with some tools. 

Nice tools and tool boxes!

To me as an old tool addict - this would be an overdose!

Keep the pictures coming.
