I did my usual sorting routine.

  1. Sorting to locate all  the outside border pieces, while....
  2. Placing the pieces into the 'general-color' layout onto the Grateful House puzzle trays. These trays are 14" x 10" in a pack of 8. I can layout all the pieces easily IF I use the lid for the edge pieces. This example is using the Cobble Hill Brand puzzle at 1000 pieces and puzzle Size is 26.625" x 19.25".

The border went together fairly well even though I could not locate the upper right piece. I did not actually locate it until after my second work-in-progress image below being grey in color.

I focused on the yellow paint area first, the painter, the signs and 3 main vehicles. They went fairly fast together. The next round was the sky, trees and building onto the cars again.

Once all the object were completed, I was left with only the grey-cracked cement area which proved to be the toughest of about 100 pieces.
