Garage Clean-Up…

Our garage got to the point of no return. We couldn’t fit anything in it or get anything out of it.

3 hours of concentrated energy and we’ve got something we can work with again:

    Great job on the garage! Our storage unit looks like that, but I don’t want to clean it. LOL

    Wow. Now you could … PARK *gasp* in your garage! I know, that’s just silliness. We don’t park in our either.

    Ahhh…I’m a mom of 4 and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve straightened out the garage only to have it trashed within days. It’s an ongoing job (basement too)! I hope after that hard work that yours stays clean for a while.

    Love gettin stuff done!!! Can tell you do too!!

    Funny, we did the same thing today. The weather was so nice we had to get out there and do something so it was a perfect Spring Cleaning project.

    Wow! Nice job. Our garage looks as bad as yours did before. There was a path from the door to the back. That’s it. I need to clean it out too. Now you’ve inspired me!!

    I’m a neat freak, so I always enjoy these videos.

    For some reason, I was highly entertained around 0:47 to watch the handle on a plastic bag fall.

    You rock

    I often find that after I finish such a project I realize how much it was stressing me out and how much better I felt afterwords!

    Great work! Wish my hubby would tackle some similar projects around our place.
