Sf, not trying to be rude, but every homeowner here knows what it
takes to own and maintain a home.

I have owned, maintained and selectively (lower level rec room, kitchen, two
bathrooms and a laundry room) remodeled my home since I and my ex
built it in 1969.

All my family cook; they grew up knowing where whatever tool they need
is kept, and to put it back there when its their turn to clean up.

What a sloppy timewaster.

I also keep my knickers in the knicker drawer, my socks in the sock
drawer, towels and bedlinen on separate shelves in the linen cupboard
Spooky, hm?

I have to say I get very frustrated when D puts some stuff away and I can't
find it. Bigger stuff he knows where it goes, but kitchen tools not so
much.

I like him helping and so he doesn't always get it right? *shrug*

Well, I'm glad your family has a perfect memory. My otherwise-exemplary
husband cooks, but doesn't always remember where things are put away when
he unloads the dishwasher. He also spends time searching for stuff when he
can't remember where it lives. I do the same when I'm in his workshop.
It's really of no consequence, and both of us have better things to commit
to memory than the location of every tool, be it balloon whisk or
conduit bender.

Of course, if I were making a video for YouTube, I'd walk through the
entire procedure first, and make sure I had everything to hand before
the camera rolled.

That sounds right to me

As I said, everyone in my family cooks.As keen cooks they use the
kitchen tools all the time; unlike Bruce they know what each tool is
called and how to use it, so understand the logic of how they are kept
and grouped together.

Which suggests that *in his workshop* his male brain has no difficulty
remembering where everything is kept, or putting it away in the right
place.

I try to keep like with like - that way, you don't have to remember
where each individual item is stashed.
For instance, I'd never put a new package of bayleaves in the bin with
the potatoes - it would be stashed with other the herbs.

Grin, 2 here and a counter or over the oven depending on what it is and
who emptied the dishwasher last time.

Yes. My kitchen is organized so where to find and replace items is
both logical and obvious.

Simple logic makes for an organized kitchen. Keep your mitts near the

Nope. He's constantly forgetting where he put stuff. "Are the
special bits for deck screws in with the drill bits or in with the
deck screws?" He's inconsistent about that sort of thing. Still,
he's better about finding things in the kitchen than I am about
finding them in the workshop, although that might have something
to do with the sheer volume. The workshop is ten times the size
of the kitchen.

In her dreams. Such a pity her vile personality and vicious mouth do not
live up to her pretentions.

The office where I work part-time is owned by a ex-marine who used to work on embassy duties. In that office, everything has it's rightful place. It's unlike any office I've seen. Before I leave my desk, I like to straighten and line up the objects on my desk. It's kind of an oppressive place to work but I'm a better person for it.
