Does any one really park in their garage?

We returned from a short trip to Idaho visiting with Paul's family on their yearly trip to the lake. Paul was anxious to get home, because this was the week that we were finally going to clear out the garage and the downstairs room so we could set up my pottery studio, and maybe park our car in the (wait for it...wait for it)...garage! As usual I forgot to take before pictures, but if you could imagine all this Filled with junk, and piled on top of this

Which is now neatly stacked and ready for our garage sale, then you have a pretty good idea what it used to look like.

The downstairs room is another matter. Years of stuff stashed in the room to sort through "later"Kids moving and could we please store these boxes for just a few months

To maybe the kids might want this one day

Along with all my supplies and equipment make for a nightmare.

Hopefully we'll have a sale this weekend, and get rid of more stuff. The "after" pictures may not look so good, but we're thrilled with the progress we made.
