Back in Business ....

Notice there are two 12-socket power strips held vertically
 in a Christmas tree stand and plugged into the ceiling outlet
where a garage door opener would normally be.

After a concentrated effort of clearning, and deleting if truth be told, the garage is back in business as the workshop/classroom it was at one time. The two bins in front are on their way out and when the cold weather hits the group moves indoors for warmth and so the car can be inside too. All in all, it IS satisfying to walk around and use the space.


Lesson here for all: don't let down your guard. Each day involves temptation to lay something down on the table on the way into the house, or open a bin to get something and leave it out, or move stool or fan out of the house into the garage but then leave it for later.  It's the daily bits and pieces of living that make for a cluttered space. It's not one big party or event that clogs up an area. It's the little stuff of day to day life, left here and there 'just for a moment' that adds up and causes trouble. Just so you know.
