lets have a cleaning thread.

Now that we have all the Christmas decorations are put away it's time to finish cleaning the garage.

Hopefully!

I washed a load of laundry in my apartment and washed another load of laundry at the house.

I keep on top of the laundry.

We have a little straitening out to do in the garage, not to bad.

I know what you mean. It's our "collect all" place...

This is very true for my dad's garage!

When we removed everything from the garage to have the floor and driveway redone, the extra room was amazing! I have an oversized 2-car garage. Now, we almost have room for a third. LOL

We still need to get the floor coated before we can get another work bench in there, as well as some roll-around cabinets. Still, we're never going back to all the junk we had in there before.

We took the top off the roll-around toolbox and rolled the bottom part into the garden shed.  It fits perfectly under the window.  The top part still sits in the dining room.  Once we get a workbench, either stationary or on wheels, we'll put the toolbox on top of that.  Instead of open shelves, we will get cabinets on wheels that we can move around to suit our needs.

We used to have open shelves and a workbench, all built with front legs/supports, which is why we took it all down for the floor work.  Everything had collected so much dust and dirt as well.

When we moved in I had the garage built. I remember days gone by when winter mornings were punctuated by the 'whir whir whu' with a driver trying to start their car with a dying battery and the  screech of a slipping fan belt. It prompted me to have a garage, and have always had one, as it's so much better to just open the garage, climb into the car, start up, and drive out without having to wait 10 minutes clearing frost from the windows. If I had to start early then it would be with a good reduction in stress.

I have a 3 car garage. When we had the house built the design called for a 2 car garage but we requested them to expand it. The reason is simple, the third stall is a storage area because we have no basements here.

My dad doesn't use his garage as a garage: his car sits outside. No: he uses his garage as a storage area. Hence why it is crammed. It isn't actually that messy, though: everything has its place.

My dad is actually a tidy person, so does his best.

I am less organised but it's maybe more appearance than practice. Everything in it's place, even if it's wrong

I'm keeping on top of the laundry. I like to do this.

Again, I am very organized and like my apartment in order and clean.
