I've moved my lumber pile twice now. It was larger the second time than 
the first, and now it's much larger than it was the second time.

My accumulation of tools and - much more significantly, machinery 
(including some very large, very heavy assemblages of cast arn) also has 
greatly increased in magnitude.

When we moved from NJ to VA (almost 10 years ago!), I fit every tool, 
machine, workbench, and piece of lumber I owned in a rented U-Haul 
18-foot box truck (which I beat worse than a rented mule). If I were to 
do it today, it easily would require an 18-wheeler. And come to think of 
it, I'm not sure it would all even fit in just one...

And I'm a rank amateur when it comes to accumulating tools and 
machinery. I'm not even remotely approaching true tool and machinery 
hoarder status, based on some guys I've seen.
