clean the garage

For the past two days I have tried to organize something everytime I go into the garage. I am going to continue to do this. I have thrown out a few things. I am not going to tell my husband about my everyday task list. We have two different visions when it comes to organizing and cleaning things. This way I can throw out what I want. LOL Tonight I am going to sit down and decide when I am going to have a garage sale. I have to do this soon. I want my garage back. It is beyond a mess.

All of the Hazzard material that we were unable to throw away on a normal trash day is now at the dump site. Last week after our camping trip, I started to organize the garage. My husband got involved and we cleaned a little and threw out a few thins. I put all the old paints and chemicals near the old computers that we had to take to the dump site. I started loading up the car and then my husband took over and took the chemicals to the dump yesterday!!!! Yeah!!!!

My garage still looks like a dump site : ) We did make some progress a while back but it still looks like a danger zone. There is just so much stuff : ) I don’t know how much we are going to be able to get rid of before the party.

I got rid of the big fish tank by listing it on Craigslist. There is now more space in the garage. If we had to put a car in the garage we now can. I have to have my husband call the local dump to find out there hours so we can get rid of some old paint cans and computer monitors.

I have to list the fish tanks to get it out of the garage.

My husband worked on this goal a little more on Saturday while I picked up leaves with the leaf blower. The garage looks so much better. We can almost fit a car in the garage now. After we organize a few more times we will be ready for the garage sale.

My husband and I actually worked on this task today!!! I emptied some boxes and a couple of bins. We threw out a bunch of things and even put a few things in the garage sale pile. We have to put the mulch in the yard and still organize whats left. I am very excited about being able to see the garage floor in a few spots. We decided that we are definitely not going to buy a car until the garage is cleaned out. We also have to have a garage sale before I call the garage cleaned.

I came home early from work because it was so nice, and we rearranged, pulled out winter clothes, etc.

I don’t want to say this is completely done…there are still some boxes full of random unknowns, and I’d like to organize the cabinet I have out there a little bette.

But I think I’m close to considering this done. Most everything out there belongs out there, has a certain spot, I know it’s out there, and it’s in labeled boxes.

my husband has started going through some of the things in the garage, and we listed three things on craigslist today.

A small shelf I was having trouble parting with ended up fitting perfectly in a new space I created, and I was able to bring all the strangler books inside too.
