Our house has both an attached and a full size detached garage. That was one of the selling points of this house for us...lots of storage! When the previous owners left, the detached garage was pretty much full of their junk. So much so, that it cost us $425 to have it all hauled away. When it was emptied from that, we pretty much filled it up with things we brought over from our old garage and basement, and that was how it remained. Knowing that the storage units need to come here though, it became imperative to get it cleaned out.
Honestly, we didn't throw much away. It was really a matter of organizing and consolidating, and in some cases simply relocating. Our family worked hard for six solid hours yesterday, and let me tell you that we were beat when we were done...tired to the bone! The attached garage still is full of bikes, and I need to go through things and take things to a donation location this week. The attached garage though, is absolutely fabulous. Andrew even parked the van in it last night...so cool! We are much less concerned about making all of the storage units fit because Mom says there aren't any large pieces of furniture in her units, and I know, other than a dresser, there aren't any in ours either. So pleased with our work yesterday!
