Cleaning out the Garage

[Tigerlily]

Our garage has taken on a life of it's own and somethings got to be done about it today! I started at 6:00 am this morning and plan on being finished by noon.

Good luck!

Thanks! I'm finished. Just need to sweep up a bit more but the hard part is done. This weekend we'll get racks to hang the bikes up so they won't be in the way.

"I started at 6:00 am this morning..."

You are sick!

Looks like a significant improvement!

I would banish the trash containers to outside. If that's water-based latex paint I see, it may not be usable if it has frozen. Stir/shake and paint a piece of scrap cardboard to test. If it's stringy/lumpy after stirring, just pitch it.

We long ago abandoned the idea of actually fitting two cars into our two car garage. There's literally no chance now.

I would, but then I'd have to go outside (out from and around to the back yard) every time I need to take the garbage out and as an introverted person I usually hate seeing or having to speak with people when my extroverted mask isn't on. ;P Even just, "Hey how ya doing?" can turn into a long drawn out thing. I prefer to be the initiator.

Oh and I deleted the above comment because somehow it was posted twice.

I see. Good plan then!

6 AM??! I'm not human at 6 AM! (I'm more half-deceased piranha).

You kicked that garage in the butt, lady! Go Team Jen!

Umm. . . I don't see the big difference. However, nice work on pushing everything against the wall.

And now I know why Limey's always so mean and grumpy. . . he's a dwarf with nothing but kid toys for entertainment.

 

[Tigerlily]

Do you have any organizing suggestions to offer or are you just here to create more shit for me to clean up?

We have three kids and like their father, they like their toys. As mentioned above the bikes will go on the wall as soon as we get the racks to put them on and that will create more space hopefully for me to put my lovely car in along side Limey's.

Oh and he's not grumpy! He's trading in his Hummer for a nice European sports car in the very near future and he couldn't be happier.

The shelves look neater and the cords and things are up off the floor and in a tote. It's swept. Did you get to throw some stuff out? That's always the fun part for me.
