It had to be done, and now everything hurts.Years ago, we lost a garage. Every tool, every material, every screw, nut and bolt...got piled in a small storage area and left to die. Every time we needed to do anything in the house, even if it was just a 5 minute job, the time it took to find the things you needed for the 5 minute job was 2 hours. It was a mess. This is the pile, and as you can see....disaster.
The room is small, and the tools we really need are far less than what we used to have around. But like so many things in life, you live with what you have and make it work for you. So a few gallons of paint and a lot of bending over, the room was painted with drylok sealant paint, and cleaned out. Remember this small space had all this stuff just thrown in it for years.
So we started early, worked hard, everyone had a job to do. We sorted and pitched, hauled and lifted. The door is only 4 feet and some inches tall into this room, and so is the ceiling. I managed to smash my head on the roof and doorway about 5 times yesterday. My head still hurts.
When we were done the pile was gone. Anything that was not important was thrown out, and everything that was important was sorted and duly put in a place you could easily get to it.
The room, is much nicer now, and doing any repair work, project, or other work around here will be as easy as walking in (banging your head for old times sake) grabbing what you need and going to work.
Isn't that the way its supposed to be?
