Every time i head down to my Tool store i now seem to come home with something from Festool.  My Sales guy says i have Green Fever!

Well it all started after needing to change my Van storage for some better organisation.  I colleague was well it to Festool and he said i should follow suit. It took me 3 years to do so but i have now done it and I'm hooked 

The van is fully organised and my work flow has well and truly improved. 
But it didn't stop there, the fever got hold of me and i have started changing all my existing tools and adding some new ones.  Now in less than 3 months i have gone from nothing to.... well lets say lots!
This has resulted in a whole bunch of Systainers stacking up in my garage and the decision was made to give them there own spot.  I didn't need a rolling Systainer Port, but i did want the organised like one.

So i set about to build my systainer tower., I was originally going to leave the ply natural, but the closer it came to finishing i decided to pain it, and headed down to the paint shop armed with my CSX so i could get a colour match on the Blue.
The Green was from a colour card as doing a colour match required buying way more paint than i needed.

So here is the results:

You are not alone in having green fever!

And now it's raining the grass is Festool Green too!

Mike, nice color on the tower. How tall is that?

I like the way the green drawer front overlap the sides so that when closed it looks like a trim piece on a shelf.

You have done enough spurring mate.... garage full, van full you have much to answer for.  
I've Decided the Kapex has to be added as well.

Now we have to get Vincetti onboard.

I'm motivated now to refitout the van to utilise some of the 30 plus systainers and use them for all the cables and shit that are in tubs in the racking now.

I want all the larger 3 & 4's on slide out drawers for commonly used items and the 1's can sit on shelves for less used consumables. Will pull out the existing racking and see what I can re-use and what needs to be fabricated from marine ply....... Project starting shortly.... not this weekend though as the tool show is on and I am working at the Festool stand again!! Paid to play this weekend mate!
 
Sweet idea.... I'm on the verge of changing out the Back portion of my racking and dumping the Rola Cases.... just trying to come up with a plan.  Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Also see you down at the Show.... lets see if  you can convince me to but something.  Though I'm keen to check out a Fein MM.

If I was a betting man I'd say KAPEX, Domino, 2 Syslites and a Protool job site radio.
