In our house, we all have a lot of things that we wanted to get rid of. Some are usable items, while some are plain junk. But they all have one thing in common – this stuff is slowly taking up every square inch of our garage. When it came to a point that walking in our garage without stepping or tripping on something became literally impossible, we decided to do something about it. Since there was a lot to do, we even hired a boy looking for odd jobs to help us in our clean up.

We first segregated the things that can still be used or sold from those which that we can already throw away. It made our lives easier since the pile of stuff was slowly getting smaller. We then organized the remaining things into different garage storage products. Our hand tools, power tools, hardware and cleaning materials, and seasonal decorations were arranged neatly inside our heavy-duty storage cabinet. The car tools and gardening paraphernalia are placed in the garage shelving. We had a garage sale and we sold our old clothes, furniture, and old appliances.

We spent the entire day cleaning up and by the end of the day, we were zonked. We celebrated our hard work by using the garage sale money to order pizzas and eat it while watching a movie on cable.
