The lady of the house was all fired up and ready to go, so it was all hands on deck and we started to clear out the garage. Truth to tell this has needed doing for some considerable time!
We had a old lounge door cut in half and resting on the back patio since we had the new kitchen fitted, and there was also an old industrial vacuum cleaner out there as well.
The Christmas Tree had found its way into the garage and had been steadily shedding its needles and there were numerous tins of paint which had endured the freezing conditions and were no longer usable, as well as half empty tubs of timber preservative, tile cement etc.
The first thing that had to be done was rearrange the contents of the garage, as space had had to be made for Hannah to store her Pink Peril when she and Ben had gone on holiday.
Numerous off cuts and pieces of timber had been left in the garage after the new kitchen was fitted, including about three quarters of a worktop, which was surplus to the kitchen needs. (We had already had the joiner make us a table with some of the surplus worktop.) I had also made a shelf unit to store CD's in from some of the surplus plinth base timber.
After a general tidy up, and two visits to the local tip the garage now looks quite spacious again - still not enough room to get the car in, but at least I don't have to squeeze between piles of timber, tins of paint, empty plastic containers of tile cement, etc.
