Garage Cleaning

My garage has been an embarrassing mess. Things have just piled up in there and since it has a ton of space it has really gotten out of control. Even with it being about 30' x 30' I had almost no floor space left to easily move around. It was in bad, bad shape.

Yesterday Frank came over and helped me to tame it. We filled up my recycling bin and trash bin and then filled up his SUV with three loads of things to get rid off (one load to the Re-Use Center and two to the dumpster). It felt good to get rid of so much stuff that I didn't need and wasn't using.

The remaining things were sorted into general areas and put up on the shelving that wraps around my garage. It is not super organized but I now have easy access to everything and know where to find it. Apart from Frank's tailgate trailer and a stack of drywall with a tub on top of it, the rest of the garage floor is finally clear.

I definitely have more work to do in the garage but I think it was a very productive day and I am happy with it. I finally have enough space to work on some of my projects in the garage instead of my house. Yeah!

Are you better than me about keeping your garage tidy? Did you do any organizing or cleaning this weekend?
