I have been cleaning THE Garage all day! Well, except for lunch, when I ate and worked on a jigsaw puzzle. (A puzzle, which I think will never be done now, as I believe Gunner, the yellow lab, just ate one of the pieces.)
I am dirty and pooped. I’ve cleaned this garage before, but this time, I did the whole garage. I also have a new theory as to why the former owners sold us this house. It was not because we wrote a great offer, or that the timing was right or it was meant to be, I think it was because we told them that they did not have to clean out the workshop and the garage!
That corner of the garage has held storm windows and screens for windows and doors, that no longer even open. Piles of them and we’ve never been energetic enough to dig all the way to the bottom. Today, however, was the day. I was on a mission. I’d even checked Pinterest about Garage cleaning, but most of those pictures are not for real people.
This job included 20 trips to the barn to store all the old windows, that I love and need to save. Careful placement of fresh trash.
The ‘review’ pile for My Loving Spouse. I might need to double-check Pinterest for old giant screen ideas….
As I dug deep, I started to find some treasures. Besides mounds of dust and dirt, there were 2 brown eggs from a broody hen, an old pink bed frame and a fire place screen.
The bonus was getting to throw stuff away, which I love, not to mention gaining THE space. It is this precious space. I call this the sacred walking space of the garage. However, ‘someone’ else who lives here, sees this space between the two garage bays as a sacred space to pile up s….stuff. 
Ah….it is currently a beautiful thing.
It feels so good to clean stuff up, especially when you find “treasures.” Can’t wait to see how you repurpose the windows and screens!
Hi Ellen,
I’m so glad to hear that you have opened up some more of your garage space.
I’m more excited that you now have become an expert at; Sorting, Pitching trash, Organizing and Clearing!
As you know I just retired at the first of the year and now find myself doing the very same thing as you, in our Shop/basement.
I can’t wait to have you come over and Help/”Teach” me how one tackles this kind of a “Subject”.
I excel at removing sacred s…stuff, especially if it is someone else’s! I will happily come over and supervise/teach you how to do it!
