That would be a hard place to say good-bye to.

I do have one big tip, since I am an extraordinarly messy worker when I'm involved in a project. If you go through the place once, and make sure every tool has a place where it's supposed to be stowed, and there isn't 'loose storage' sitting on the floor at all, then you should be able to get the place 'back to zero' in a short amount of time. It's easy to clean up when everything has a destination. It's a very slow process when you're having to make decisions about cleaning up along the way. It feels like a massive waste of time when you go through the place the first time, but it pays off in the number of times you don't waste an hour going out to buy a replacement tool because you've misplaced one. And it pays off in being able to do all sorts of jobs more efficiently because you're not stepping over pieces of old jobs, or stuff that's taking up space on the floor, while you're working.
That said, sometimes different types of jobs simply overlap. This is new rear shocks and a backyard deck and steel pergola all happening at the same time.
Like I said, I'm not a neat worker while it's happening.
