Over Easter weekend I told myself I was gonna clean out the entire garage. As it was, I did a lot of work, but really only got about half the garage cleaned out. And, there still remained roughly 627,000 pounds of sawdust on the floor of the garage. Now, "luckily", we've tracked a few thousand pounds of sawdust into the house via our shoes in the past month and a half - but work still needed to be done. Along with the sawdust, here was the primary spot to be addressed in this cleanup:
I can't even begin to describe what is here... but I'm gonna do it anyway. There was an old comforter, groceries (like ziploc bags and napkins) that were purchased months ago and never made it in the house, paint cans from colors of paint we painted over (good thing we saved them, in case we wanted to put colors we hate back up on our walls again), and lots of trash. So, along with the sawdust, we threw out a lot:
OK, so maybe not that much trash. But I did fill up two trash cans. And now, the garage looks like this:
After all those days feeling Helpless, taking The Small Hours to get some cleaning done made The Wait well worth it (I probably owe Metallica $1 million in royalties just for typing this sentence). We finally have a clean garage. All that we need to do now is re-do our laundry room so the cabinets that are currently living in our garage can go up in the laundry room, put up the racks on the walls so we can store our bikes there - and then, for the first time in months, we will be able to put two cars in the garage. I can't wait - because my car is the one that was living in the driveway through the second half of the winter and a rainy April.
