Once I figured out a good system, I was able to process the shirts at a rate of about 100 an hour. As you might imagine, the process - folding, folding, folding, stacking, breaking down boxes, and back to folding again - was a bit tedious, but at the same time, manual labor can be therapeutic in small doses.

The garage was too narrow to store a car in, so the space was available. Here's a shot that shows the bins as well as my more typical garage gear:
