yesterday and today I spent a good portion of the afternoon in the garage…

I haven’t done anything with it since my beloved died… and that was eight years ago, sigh…

I still don’t know where stuff is or even what stuff is in there…

last month I had the roof reshingled and now I’ve decided to make cleaning and sorting it out my fall project…

it is going to take a lot of time, but for now my plan is to fill the garbage can each week with junk and set aside things I want and things I can give away…

this picture might look like a before, but it is actually the after of yesterday’s effort…

three shelving units were cleared off, the garbage can was filled, the next door neighbour took some firewood and the neighbour behind took the fancy woodworking wood that I discovered…

boxes were set up and put on the shelves for gardening, pumps, plants, bubble makers and fish supplies… and I found a couple of things I can use… brought one item in for another little project, and gathered scrap metal for my son-in-law…

today my middle grandson finished emptying the final few shelves, loaded up boxes with bits of wood to take home for their fire pit, washed down all the shelves, put the items back on the shelves and mowed the grass…

the oldest moved the ladders, picked up items at various stores, trimmed the Virginia creeper and loaded the wood into the car…

it is kind of exciting to really know where some stuff is…

looking great;-)…
