First try wasn't good enough, so I upped the quality and detail of how I complete and post BB's.  Here is undeniable documentation of >1 hours cleaning shop with clear results.  I had to make enough room to paint and assemble cabinets and I did just that, mission accomplished!  Thanks and enjoy the show!

Cleaned up the shop this morning. The tools on the work bench used to get stored under so there was a work surface but it's full of lumber now and I pull out a folding table or the workmate ad needed.

Edited to add:

I worked on some BB's in the shop over the weekend and need to park my car in the garage/shop again. The 4' table and a bucket with a chunk of wood on it are my prefered work surfaces. There is also a huge amount of hunting gear that got tossed in here and needs to be put away. There's also a bike that needs a new tire hiding in the mess but I bought the wrong size tire 🤦‍♀️

Cleaning my shop needs to be done on a regular basis.  Due to the fact that I usually have at least three jobs going at the same time and I like to trash pick.

So I turned our storage shed into a usable workspace. Most of the time was spent de-cluttering. After my father-in-law installed the garage door I started bringing tools and cabinets out to the shed. That took about a day and a half just moving things out to the shed. I spent most of a day pulling out cardboard and scrap wood. I then optimized the space a bit (but probably not enough for the 2.5 days BB) by hanging some hooks and some peg board and I put everything away. We can actually find things again!

We were able to use the space right away. Super easy to pull out the sawhorses and tools and work out the garage door.
