room for three

It is too often observed that people leave their most valuable property parked out in the driveway (or on the street!) while their most worthless junk is safely locked away in the garage. Some of us even pay money to keep our extra junk in storage, and still have no room to put our cars. Maybe the storage industry isn't doing as well these days, as consumers look for ways to cut expenses, but I have a feeling that it's one of those overlooked things that people would rather forget about.

When we moved into this house a year ago, the garage floor was littered with receipts and boxes and even someone's strange idea of wall-to-wall carpeting, but we made short work of that and soon had enough room to park 2 cars, and a month or so after that, all three cars. Since then I've been gradually sorting through the boxes, getting rid of the stuff we don't need to keep and getting the place organized. See my makeshift post-it labels? As with everything else, it's still a work in progress, but it's getting better.
