If you've ever seen our garage on a typical day, you might have thought a bomb went off. A hopeless-projects bomb. We have a canoe hanging from the rafters, under which is an upside down 18 foot sailboat, under that is another 8 foot sailboat sitting on pallets. There's a stack of wood lath 4 feet high and 6 feet wide, automotive fluids and parts of all manner, a trike, 3 bikes, garden pots, fertilizer, rakes, shovels, and the like, a stack of extra car wheels/tires, boxes and totes filled with books... And that's just the RIGHT half. The left half actually has a car in it (our classic MG), a workshop of sorts (mostly just a pile of tools and junk), lawnmower, snowblower, etc, etc, etc. That's not to mention the rafters... How about a 25 foot sailboat mast, and about 1000 linear feet of trim and siding. *rolls eyes* Well, after stuffing things willy-nilly in there all summer long, I decided today it was time to clean things up. The weather is getting cold, and I'll soon need to carve out a small workshop space in the back that I can keep warm. I pulled the car out, then spent some time trying to lift the bikes into the rafters before finally giving up on the idea. Instead of bikes, I decided that most of the summer camping stuff could be hidden up there. I nailed some 3/4 inch plywood across two rafters, and collected the various summer bits. The new storage actually sits above the garage door when it's open - an area that went underutilized until this point. I'm notoriously bad at putting things back in their places, so the whole time I was collecting things from the floor and all other surfaces to be put back into their respective toolboxes, or making new places for them. Once I had shifted all the crap out of the way, I swept the floor and rolled the car back into it's home. Did I mention that I love that little car? I don't even have to start it to move it in and out of the garage - just a little heave in one direction or the other and it gently rolls until I apply an opposite force! Anyway, time for bed?
