Mission Organization, Mission Accomplished!

Today the garage is the cleanest it has been since the day we moved in this house, almost four years ago. Saturday, I did indeed take everything out of the garage, sweep it out, power wash it, and then put back only the stuff I wanted. That means that one pick-up truck load of stuff went to Helping Hands, and numerous empty cardboard boxes went to the recycle center. Among the Helping Hands items were three tackle boxes I no longer use. No, I haven't given up on fishing, I just use a different storage method than the plastic, hard side tackle boxes. I still have more fishing tackle than most amateur anglers and only slightly less than some professional fishermen. I will probably thin that herd later this summer. Clear plastic storage tubs have solved several of my storage issues. I also still have a few pieces of construction material (medium density fiberboard) that will probably find their way to the dumpster later this year.
By 4:00 P.M. Saturday, I was worn out. But it was a good day.

Cleaning out the garage is indeed a wonderful thing. My hubby did that recently. We actually can get both our vehicles and one motocycle in there too. Good for you.

Happy 34th. Me and hubby celebrate our 8th tomorrow. Have a great day. :)

Congratulations! I have found that plastic tubs are 100% better than cardboard boxes for storing stuff.

I managed to re-box my Sports Illustrated collection into plastic storage tubs. They are so much easier to move around and store now.

Happiness is a clean garage! Sounds like a lot of worthy work!

Good man! I love it when the garage is cleaned! Looks like you're a busy person over the next few weeks.

Cleaning the garage is one of those chores that we dread...but once I get into it...I get into it and begin to enjoy.
