OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

Beautiful weather, but I could have enjoyed that without the work! I'm glad it's done, just need to figure out what to do with a dozen fish shipping boxes. Boy they have piled up.

I have an idea...............ya know some of us have these moments of dejavu and there are some of us who have dreams, well I had a little of both when I read that you have fish shipping boxes...I bet the shipping boxes was to ship that bluespot in...you see I had a dream that I got one and it came in a shipping box...yep

I don't have any fish shipping boxes. Maybe I need a bigger tank.

Re: OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

It seems that I'm always cleaning the garage. I spent about an hour creating a path from the driveway to the laundry room door. Wish I had a basement but there seems to be no such thing here in Florida. I've been here in this house for over 3 years and haven't been able to get a vehicle in the garage once.

Re: OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

I was supposed to clean out the garage today but it didn't happen. Did get a lot of other stuff done though.
Maybe tomorrow. I need to make room for the new ro/di and the chiller and my husband insists that garages are for cars. Ugh.

Re: OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

I am constantly "cleaning" my garage. I take everything on one side, and move it to the other... A few days later, move it back. Little by little my pile of stuff is thinning down. It's all power tools, lumber, attached laundry room spill over, parts in various stages of assembly from whatever misc project I happen to be working on at the time, etc etc. I think I put my car in the garage once since I've moved in just to see if it would fit.

Re: OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

My garage is decent but my yard needs fall cleaning. Oh well... I was a slacker.. I did start to do yard work but decided to go to a lakehouse with my sister and another couple! No regrets at all

I keep my insulated fish boxes stacked up in a corner of the garage... they come in VERY handy when shipping stuff.

Re: OT Who else had to clean the garage today?

I began to clean out the basement storage room yesterday, in preparation for my sump and water storage tanks...OMG there were 40 yrs worth of acumulated christmas decorations. I think we have 4 complete plastic lifesize mangers complete with lambs, cows and donkeys....it's like a zoo down there
