Our temperature seems stuck at -15° F. yet again, so we decided it was a good day to clean up the garage.
I initially helped by breaking down all the boxes left over from Christmas and hauling the pile o' cardboard to the dump. Recycling doesn't cost anything except for a bit of go-juice to get the car there and back.
Meanwhile, my blushing bride worked on deciding what should go where, and making that happen. Upon my return, I helped mostly by staying out of her way except something heavy needed moving, or being put up on a shelf.
I did clean a bunch of leftover-from-various-projects bits and bags of spare parts, and sorting them into the places they should go. This freed up quite a bit of workbench space, and helped make the space more presentable, not to mention user-friendly.
We created quite an assembly of yardwork implements (lawnmowers, rakes, pressure washer, etc etc etc) and set it by an overhead door for moving into the shed tomorrow. Why tomorrow? It should be some 30 degrees warmer, i.e., 15° above.
We haven't been above zero in two weeks. It's worth waiting for.
And the adage? "Junk expands to fill the space available."
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Now when you go to look for something, you will go to that spot. you know the clean open spot on your bench. Stand there thinking of its new location. I'm talking from experience.
Yes, indeed. And I’ll like it. 😊
Oh yeah... And agree with Rob... I 'know' I put (insert tool) right HERE...
I’m sure that’ll only happen 3 or 15 times. 😅
Hehe. You just made space to put more junk. ;-)
Don’t remind me. Sigh ....
Must be GLOBAL WARMING!!!!
I'm beginning to work on a theory that if I never put anything away, I will always have adequate storage space!
Convincing my wife that the new plan is a good one is going to be quite the hurdle. :)
But Algore’s not here...
A possible flaw with this theory is that if you don’t put things away, once in awhile, you’ll never know if there’s enough room to do so. Heh.
