Hi Doug,
Thanks for the nice reply. There is potential for a type of lean-to to be added off my rear shed (where my son's basketball net was) but I think I would store my snowmobile in it and use that now empty garage space for more shelving for the Rubbermaid Totes.
As hard as it is to believe I actually got to put my truck in the garage tonight as I pre-loaded it for my trip tomorrow. DW had a few pointed questions about how long I planned to use "her garage" but did not evict me!
We usually have a big garage sale just before we move to a new town (4 towns in 11 years), but I think we are going to settle down where we are now, so there has not been any incentive to reduce our accumulated stuff.
I renovated our last 3 houses, completing then just before I put them up for sale. This practice frustrates my DW as I have been having too much fun lately to do final decorating on our current home as we do not plan on moving.
Garage sales are a real struggle for me, my DW puts an item out for sale and I sneek it back into storage. It is getting to the point that I have to check the garbage before I take it to the curb to see if DW has decided on her own that some of my stuff is trash (kit containers are a good example)!
No point in coming to my garage sale, if I am getting rid of something it is either worn-out or does not do the job it was suppost to.
Later,
Mike
