My 1 1/2 car garage has been my repair / fab shop for years. I also had use of a large dairy barn for the last 8-10 years. The old folks who own the barn are going into a nursing home and I have to get my stuff out. You wouldn't believe how much stuff / crap you can accumulate in 8 years. Some of this stuff is in my back yard , at a friends back yard and my garage is filling up fast. I have no room and I'm tripping over this stuff. This week I'm cleaning out. These are this weeks pics of before. I'll post next weeks pics of the clean out.I have a brake drum lathe , a kick press , and a large metal cutting band saw in there too.

don't panic,  I still see a path in there.

Clean-out? by selling, garage sale, auction? donate? hope not DUMP!  if you have the room to store & use...

Well,I guess I put a dent in my garage clean up. You have to look close.

I'll take your word for it. I don't notice a big difference! Good luck !

If it makes you feel any better mine doesn't look much different.For a second there I thought you were in my garage taking pics.

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

Huge difference, I see you moved the 2 gallons of washer fluid :-).

Half of the junk on the table in front of the green board is gone.

I have tomorrow sort of free, and thought I would offer a helping hand, til I realized you were 1,100 miles away!   Have a similar problem here, with new shop, old shop, barn, and storage building, plus a full basement.  Shelving sure helps.  I can see a difference.

I saw a lot of progress, its a lot of work.  Where does the ladder go to?  More tools?

When does it start to get cold up there?

The latter goes to the upstairs attic that I have been slowly emptying out.I'll have to tale a pic today of the downstairs. Alot of stuff has left the building.
