Cleaned, But Not Cleaned Out

I had meant to blog earlier, but I got preoccupied with a spur of the moment project.  I spent almost all day in my garage.

I was going to change the oil on my riding mower, but before I did that, I knew I had to give myself some room.  This led to me emptying almost everything out onto the driveway and sorting.

My son is forever playing with my tools.  So I made a pile of all the tools I found throughout the garage.  I have been wanting to get the tool boxes reorganized anyway.

I had Christmas boxes that were in the back of the garage, but I finally put them in the loft.  I also was able to rearrange things so all the Christmas stuff was in the same area. 

I moved my table saw from the way back up to the front.  It seems like I’ve been using it enough to warrant the move.

I made space for the snowblower and rototiller up against the back wall.  This allows for me to pull the mower in a bit further. 

I put up some nails/screws to hang things.  I have all these yard tools that were always being thrown in a corner.  It’s nice to have them, and my extra extension cords hung on the wall.

With the back and forth from the garage to the curb for garbage day, I hit my step goal long before late afternoon.  My Fitbit says I got 195 minutes of exercise today.  No surprise there.

As silly as it sounds, just having a clean floor out there is worth it.  I feel like my garage collects every possible leaf from the fall, and enough dirt to fill a huge hole!

I have an area cleaned for the kids bikes, scooters and wagon.  I also have room for their battery operated car.  I still need to “clean out” some stuff in tubs and boxes, but I will do that another day. 

It is clean! It was well worth the work I put in.  Now, I’m exhausted.  It will be a VERY early bedtime for me tonight!!
