The Garage

Ok ... so you have a garage... or maybe it is actually your storage/junk room.... You know when you watch a movie and the actor goes out to the garage to get in the car ... you look at the space they have and how clean it is ... no oil on the floor no junk all over the benches and definitely no stack of boxes in the corner that haven't been looked at in over 10 years...

1. If you are able to get your car in the garage... take it out.
2. Wheel the Wheelie bin into the garage and start getting rid of the old paint, terps etc that you know is past the useby date or will never get used.
3. Place items into the following categories: 1. Garage Sale Items  2. Rubbish for the Tip  3. Use full items for keepsake  4. Old items for charity  5. Recyclable / Creative items for making things with
4. Get the kids to help if you can.. make sure all items go into one of the above categories... try not to keep too much otherwise your efforts will just be in vein. 
5. With the items in the Garage Sale area... you should have enough to put a sign in the local paper or get the kids to just put up signs around the neighbourhood every Sunday till it is all gone... you can work on the garage at the same time as the garage sale.
6. I don't have to tell you what to do with the 2. Rubbish for the tip category do I????
7. Grab a couple of large 90L plus plastic containers with lids... put any large items such as material etc into these making sure to label them and put to one side for now.
