Give Away, Throw Away, Stow Away!

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The huge task of reorganising the garage has begun. It’s been a job in waiting for two and a half years and we have finally taken the plunge. This is no ordinary garage … my father’s ‘things’ covered all the walls & shelves; EP Designs’ ‘things’ filled the centre; and everything else was stacked in between, around and on top. In other words it was a DISASTER ZONE.

Today we managed to get a third done – that’s a day’s work not just a couple of hours. More work needs to be done but at least we have finally made a start. I don’t dare show you any photos … perhaps when we’re finished I’ll show before & after shots.

It may take some time to finish it all but now I can see a little more clearly to plan the interior to make it a workable storage and packaging space for EP Designs; and a useable space for the houselhold needs. The state of the finances will dictate what can & can’t be done but I’m sure with a little imagination and ingenuity we can put together a pleasant enough area. Once this is complete I will be able to tackle my studio/work room behind the garage – can’t wait for this to be done because I’m ‘itching’ to get back into my creative work.

Is this a new year’s resolution? No way….. perhaps I should have made it so I could say ‘well I’m sticking to it’. No this is a big step to getting back on track. It will feel so good to have everything in it’s place and a place for everything; And anything that doesn’t have a place gets the boot.

Anyhow, I’m now off to have a well earned rest and then prepare for a lovely St Valentine’s dinner.

HAPPY ST. VALENTINE’S DAY to  Everyone.

Cioa for now

  1. Thank you Elisabeth. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we finish with it.

    Hard work Vincent! Is that why you kept disappearing? lol

  2. We did a big clean out of our garage last year. It feels so good to have everything in order and room to move. Amazingly it’s still in good order.
    All the best with your clean out.
