     Pegboard is my current conundrum.  Do I love it or is it holding me back?  I use it but I definitely have things on my pegboard that are "low use" - but they don't fit well anywhere else either (large roll of foam tape, framing square, etc.).  I probably just need to relocate some pegboard to a "less prime real estate" location.
    YES.  I see the pattern developing here.  I may have even found a direction to go with my workbench reorganization. Relaxed
