Dick,
That's already been happening. Each can is wrapped in newspaper and I'm pulling them out a few at a time, draining, cleaning and putting on the shelf in alphabetical order. So I've actually had to move cans over and down to get to the top shelf or up higher. If I had a place to set them all out once they were ready, I could alphabetize them and put them up.

The worst part about all of this is draining the cans. I had them out in my garage and they were really cold so the oil seemed to take forever to drain. I had to start bringing about 10 at a time to warm them up so the oil would drain faster.

I love the looks I get from my wife when she sees me rinsing out the last bit of oil from a can in her kitchen sink! Try draining oil cans in the kitchen while your wife is making dinner and see how that goes! Too funny!
