Well said Larry. We go to many farm shops, and it seems that those with little to do, spend their time organising. Those that have a busy schedule, are less so.
I once worked for a guy that knew where everything was. I always said he should know, because he climbed over it every half hr.
As far as productivity, many shops are organised, but the clock is runnuing while they clean, and put everything back. I wonder if they would do so if the customer or boss wasn't paying them to do so.
My lady friends twenty five year old daughter is extreemly organised----even called a wack job by most. It seems it runs in the family, becase the daughters two year old son keeps every toy in a straight line, and placed in the toy box when not in use.
A guy that works for me is far more organised than I am, but it seems that type must do one thing only, then when that task is completed they can then take on the next step. Productivity is very poor. I will never take on a man like that again, often we have men waiting for him in order to start the next step. He can not help it, that is the way his mind works.
The other guys will take on step two, and when there isn't work for a one guy, he can drop back, and complete step one, instead of just watching the others till there is a need for him.
This last week I timed three men stripping out a barn roof for steel. One side each 2 x 4 was nailed down completly before the next one was placed on the roof. This makes the man slinging the lumber have to wait while the other two nail it down.
The other side, the board was dropped in place, and two nails tacked it down. After all lumber was placed, the man swinging the lumber came up, and also nailed. The savings of man hrs was almost two hrs on one side (times 3 men) by just nailing each end. I was even a little surprised, but they all agreed it was faster, just more moving around on the steep roof.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
