I see pros and cons to this approach.

The pros: You really find out what you have (or what has gone missing), what you need, and what you can sell.

The cons: Once the list is completed, your collection will always be too much in the better half's opinion, in a few cases it will demonstrate that you have more project years than life left (chilling thought), and it will remind you of the "clag" that you just can't get rid of to recoup the cost of its recovery.

In my case, I have two CMP projects on the go and one SMP project to start up. The rest of my "collection" is destined for spare parts, or for sale/donation to various causes.

I think that a photo record of what is available will help in each case, particularly at the barn, where we "rank amateurs" have our various toys spread over 40 acres.
