With cold weather around the corner, it is time to clear out the garage from summer projects and make room to store the car for winter.
I put this project on the fall to do list and it meant a week of moving cabinets from the garage into the “tool room” which will eventually be the family room/office and moving the tools from that room into the garage. Even with all the cabinets moved, we didn’t gain a wider spot in the garage than last year’s parking space. I would have moved a couple more pieces of furniture into the house but we ran out of energy with so many boxes that had to be moved to get to the furniture.
This was the tool wall, seen when the new window was being installed in this room.
Replaced Tool Wall
We had some of the extra rock wool insulation piled between the entry and this room and all of that was moved to the “play house” shed in the back yard. I will have to figure out another location for this insulation in the spring. I’m renting the play house space for the winter from my grandkids!
These are the cabinets we moved in. The cabinet being painted white is a project for my Mom.
Cabinets Moved
And we finally got most of my mom’s stuff that didn’t fit in her apartment consolidated and moved to the garage too.
Mom’s Extra Stuff
With all the stuff moved back and forth from garage to house and from house to garage, it seems enough reorganization has taken place to allow for a warm spot for the car when the weather gets bad and other projects to move forward.
