Get ready for the horror (pics)

Day 2: I started cleaning the garage. I actually didn't get a whole lot of time to do it because I had four other things I had to drive to do, but what I accomplished in a short amount of time made me happy. I now have a four foot by four foot area cleaned and organized LOL.  I have a keep pile that is (so far) very small, I've thrown away two rather large garbage bags full of junk, I have a burn pile for either a kid or my husband to take care of, and then there's the "maybe" pile.

The "maybe" pile is a pile of stuff I'm not sure if we should keep or not. Right now it is MOSTLY my husband's rusty tools, car parts (most of which are rusty also) and a few things I don't even know what they are. The maybe pile sucks because I literally have NO idea what to do with them. They are my husband's things so he is going to have to make that call. However he doesn't have a whole lot of extra time so my maybe pile might be sitting there for months!!! I've already asked him if he wants to take a look at it, but he said he will wait until it's a little bigger...... well.....bigger I'm sure it will get!!!

Okay BEFORE PICS:: (please contain your revulsion - I know what it looks like!) :

This (above) is my pool table. Sad, right? I never stacked anything up on it but at the same time I haven't been USING it either, so I guess I'm partly to blame. ( A very SMALL part lol)

THAT (above) is the pile of "stuff" I have to traverse in order to get to my weight bench. I still get to it and use it fairly often....I just have to skirt around...."the pile."

Another view of "the pile."

 Fishing and camping gear. I will take the blame for this one...when we went on a fishing/camping trip and we came home I was so exhausted I made the kids unload everything, and when the kids unload THIS is how well they put everything back.


Gross right? I have a lot of work to do!!!  Like I said I now have a 4'x4' area cleaned up and I was happy with that progress. While I was cleaning it out I found a mini-cooler with two Pepsi cans in it. THESE:

Haha!! I was going to open them up and put them in the recycle but that one on the right looks like it might not be safe to open so against my set-in recycling mania I set these two in the trash. I estimate they've been in that cooler for two years. :)

That's it for today!! Today I have to clean my computer room before the cable person gets here (in about an hour) THEN I have to go pick up groceries and THEN I can work on the garage some more!! :D
