Garage Purge: Tools Corner

 We worked on a corner of the garage this weekend.  We cleared out ALL the tools and sorted them into pile.  We had: tools, painting, electrical, plumbing, and car maintenance. Then we found bins to put it all in.  I am proud to say that we used bins we already had and I did not spend a dime :)

I still have a couple of finishing touches to do.  I have to print labels, and I would like to spray paint the shelves white or brown to make it pretty.  We aren't at the pretty stage yet.  We are still at purge and organize stage.

Summer Purge: The Garage

After taking everything out of the attic we decided the garge would be next.
So we stalked the weather forecasts until we had a couple of sunny days and started to empty the contents of the garage onto the driveway.

We should have had a garage sale.

Ahhh, it's empty.

We will slowly but surely put everything back BUT it will be in zones.

Garden Zone

The garage is currently in the organizing stage.  Basically, I put everything into piles and decide what kind of bins, baskets, or buckets will work best to coral like items. Then we will start the beatification stage but we aren't there yet.

I am working on the sports zone, tool zone and seasonal zone.  I'll post as I go.

So here is my To Do list for the garge:

• create zones,ie. sports, gardening, tools, etc...
• find a spot for the lawn mower and snow blower.
• create overhead storage for seasonal decorations(I'm thinking loft like)
• put up drywall and paint
• new garage door
• fit the car
