Your tools and garage is clean and organized. When I'm working on the car I make a huge mess and tools are all over the place. Did you bleed the brakes with the 2 person (pump-pump-hold) method?

I use a combination method when bleeding the brakes: I use the pressure bleeder, which is filled with fresh brake fluid and attached to the brake fluid reservoir. I pressurize the bleeder, then I crack open a bleeder screw with a box wrench. The wrench obviously goes on before the hose goes on the bleeder screw. Since the pressure bleeder is a bit anemic, the fluid starts running very slowly. I then pump the brake pedal a few times. I wait until I have caught about 150 to 200 ml brake fluid. If I didn't have the pressure bleeder, I would need a helper to quickly close the bleeder screw, or otherwise the old brake fluid might reverse direction and go back into the caliper right after pumping the brake. The pressure bleeder prevents that from happening.
