Garage Cleaning Time!

Well, about once a year I pull all the crap out of the garage, clean it up, throw out the junk, and re-organize it. Today was that day....

You see, the problem is, the house is shrinking....well, ok, the family is growing and the house isn't so we need more room.

Since I sold the Honda (sold in 48 hours by the way--man, ya think gas prices are high or something?) we no longer park 2 cars in the garage so one half of the garage started to get devoted to, well, junk!

Seeing as the house wasn't growing, and the garage had junk in it, it was time to overhaul the place & find "more room" for all the stuff....

So, with a trip to Sams Club for some Gorilla Shelves (Man I love those things!), a trip to the dump with a bunch of junk, and a long day of cleaning, we now have a lot more storage space! YEAH!!!

Check it out!




Those shelves rock!!

So, now we have 3 new sets of shelves, one for "house junk", one for "auto & home improvement junk", and a set for "business orders ready to be picked up".

The goal is to get some "house junk" out of the house to give us more room in the house for (HOPEFULLY) food storage...time will tell....

The shelves did give us a heck of a lot more storage space though in the Garage.

I am so glad that you got your yearly garage cleaning out of the way, I am still waiting for my day to come. I can't do it by myself so I am waiting for a day that is good for Dad to help me. Those shelves look like they are going to work great for you. WAY TO GO!

It was funny, we put the day bed up for sale on KSL.com and the thing was sold in under 20 hours.

Someone told us to ask $80.00 for it (it was a day bed and a trundle) but we thought it was too much so we asked $70 and were overwhelmed with calls.

Some lady in Kaysville made her kids really happy....at least that's who bought it.

So now there's even more space in the garage...
