Canning Jars, a Good Problem

You know that old joke about wire hangers breeding in the closet?
I've been canning off and on since the '80s, but more off than on.
When off, the empty jars would get stashed in some corner of the
garage or basement. And when I'd get back to something, where'd I
put those? Oh, just get a case, what's the harm.
Repeat that a few rounds.
A recent addition on the house first required those corners to be
emptied (for workers), with everything mounded where possible.
But eventually it cleared space for some solid storage shelving.
And I started sorting chaos onto the shelves. First those cases
of bottles. Oh, and I saw some others, right. And that other
stack.
I just may be set for life on pints and quarts.
Of course, I have *NO* 4oz bottles that I hope to need for freezing
pesto in a few months. But at least I know where to put them when
they empty out.
Now, to get all the canning pots out of the self-storage unit.
