Optimize Space in a Shop - PEM BB tool.straw.optimizespace

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Tool care.

Typically, shops can get pretty messy over time.  Well intentioned organizational projects tend to get delayed.  Let's put some time into our shop to organize and improve it!  

This is modeled after the PEP BB for a 2.5 day effort so you may be able to get that BB as well: PEP - Clean and Organize a Shop

Here's an idea of what we're after:



For this BB, space in a shop must be optimized and improved. Here are some ideas:
 - Maybe building shelves
 - Maybe replacing small shelves with bigger shelves
 - Maybe replacing shelves with drawers or cabinets
 - Maybe replacing shelves with shelves that are built more efficiently
 - Maybe creating the ability to store 6 shovels, where you used to hang one shovel
 - Enhancing rolly shelves - possibly building another rolly shelf
 - Some sort of organization improvement
 - Maybe building a lumber rack
 - Some sort of clever way to organize steel
 - Temporary project storage
 - Organizational signage

Minimum requirements:
 - Improve a shop (permanent work area for projects)
 - Clearly at least 2 days of work involved in the optimization

To get certified for this BB, post the following:
 - Before you start work
 - Several views along the way as you make improvements
 - After the shop is improved and organized
 - Show enough work to count for at least two days as measure by (oddball rules)
