In two days the garage has turned into a collection of boxes and buckets all over the floor into what you see here: boxes and buckets stacked up on shelves. This would not have happened as quickly without the timely help of a good friend, David, who was just passing through the area. We did at least feed him. And we’re trying to think of something else we can do that would be nice; maybe we’ll cook up some ribs, seal them, and send them his way. I hear they re-heat well.
Anyway, a few more things to take out of the garage and we’ll be able to actually park a car in here. (Imagine that… parking a car in our garage. We only had to live here for a year and half first.) There are a few dead computers and a few boxes of stuff that need to be pruned. We also need to figure out what to do with the abundance of chairs we have. Half of them are broken in some way; most of those we can fix, the others… not sure. They will probably end up broken up and in the trash. We also have a great washer/dryer sitting out there. I think we’re going to sell that for dirt cheap, just to get the space back.
Next step is going to be cleaning out stuff from the house. That’s going to be a long process and I’m not sure were any of it is going to go, being that our garage is already full.
I’ll be there next week… would not mind filling the car with freecycle stuff.
A shame to toss chairs, even if they do need repair, unless the wood itself is broken. Unfortunately to freecycle them here would mean driving the truck and i am not that committed. I might be able to get a couple in the car…. if we put the back of the back seat down.
The chairs that we’re thinking of tossing are the chairs that have fundamental breakage that, given the price of the chairs, isn’t worth fixing for us.
There are a few other chairs that are broken that we’re gong to fix when we get time.
