When we moved from the old house in North Odgen to the new house in West Point we lost some much needed space. Our old house had an almost finished basement with a family room and a couple of bedrooms. The new house has a basement but only one room is almost finished so, needless to say, we have a lot of excess stuff that has no where to go until we finally get the basement finished. D had hoped to have it finished within six months of moving in, I was a bit more skeptical. Well almost two years later we still have no basement finished. I give D a break because he does work an awful lot and does not have the stamina or drive that he did when he was younger. So where is all of the excess stuff - In the garage.
When we first moved in we had a large storage shed with all of our stuff in it because we sold our house in five days and did not have a house to move into. We had to store most of our stuff while we rented an apartment until the new house was finished. Eventually we had to move the stuff home as rent got to be expensive. So all of went in the garage and the cars moved out.
This past few weeks we have slowly gotten rid of a few things and D, being very sweet, cleaned and organized the garage enough that MY CAR NOW FITS, IN THE GARAGE!
I was way excited. It is really nice to have the car in the garage. It will be even nicer when it snows, or rains, or freezes as I won't have to scrap the car every day. D hopes to clean the rest out in a couple of weeks when we have a big yard sale and sell a lot of the extra stuff. As for the basement he has Boo's room almost sheetrocked, Ty's room is sheetrocked and she actually lives in it and he hopes by October to have both rooms done all the way ready for paint and then we can tackle the family room.
I am looking forward to having more room and the kids having more room and being able to seperate the two youngest again. Bee is a messy packrat and Bear is almost a neat freak so they do argue about who made the mess and who gets to clean it up. Besides boys of ten do need their own space without their nosy messy sister in it.

THIS IS POINTLESS WITHOUT PICTURES!!!
or maybe i'll just come over and see....
We used to be able to park both cars in the garage. Then I used half of it for a workshop for like a 3-day project. And didn't pick up my crap. And added more crap to it. And then more. And now it's been the whole summer that I haven't parked in the garage because it's become the new 'storage' area.
So, D, when you get done cleaning your garage, you'll be an expert, right? Wanna come to up to North Idaho? :)
the new car has a home! all is well. :) mine just has a dumb car port.:(
