Garage spring cleanup

Imagine a beautiful spring day. You want to go biking, go

fishing or even enjoy a picnic with your family. When you

enter your garage to gather your gear and head to having

fun you have a tremendous surprise: your stuff is all over

the place, on the floor, messed up in corners, misplaced in

various drawers. Organizing your garage is as easy as

figuring out where to start. The first thing is to purchase some

cabinets, some shelves and hammer a series of nails into

the walls.

The storing and sorting goes as follows. Categorize each

object and place it in a place specially designed for it. For

example sporting gear should be placed in a cabinet or on

some shelves, tools should be placed in drawers or hung on

to some peg boards. Be ruthless about throwing away and

don’t think twice before you throw away anything

that you haven’t used recently or anything that’s broken.

If you haven’t repaired it yet, chances are you won’t repair it.

Seasonal gear should also be sorted, boots and out-of-

season coats should be organized in small closets.

After you finish organizing, sorting and throwing away

unwanted items you will be surprised to see your garage

floor and corners again. Maybe your car will fit in the

garage again.
