T Minus 502 days: Tote Inventory

I have previously mentioned that we have 250 totes. Nearly all of them (with just a few exceptions) are 18 gallon. I have a 600 square foot area in my basement that contains nearly all the totes, stacked five totes high in four rows. This area is known an "Tub City" and I am the "Mayor of Tub City".

Every tub is numbered and inventoried into a spreadsheet. If we need the camping gear? I know where that is at. Time to decorate for Easter? I know where the Easter tubs are. Need to decorate for a birthday party? All the tubs with decorations are over here.

Our purge has caused many totes to become emptied and moved around, so, it has become important to update the tote inventory. The updated inventory tells me how many tubs have been purged and when they were last purged.

I am happy to announce that we have went through 26% of the totes! And we have emptied 17% of them. We still have a long ways to go with purging the totes (and the rest of the house), but we are making progress!
