I Know That Rake is in There…. Somewhere
Spring is near and you want to perk up your front door with spring flowers, but your tools are in the garage…..somewhere. If you wait for your tools to find their way out, your grass & shrubs will be so high your home will look like it is in the wilds of Africa. It’s time to dig them out.
- Move cars, bikes, scooters, Razors, squiggly riding things, golf carts, strollers out of garage and away from or at the end of the driveway.
- Evaluate the best storage spot in your garage for sports equipment, garden tools, household supplies, grill supplies, power tools, etc. Here is a good way to layout & zone your garage.
- Garden Tools = along wall closest to yard at garage entrance
- Grill Supplies = next to garden tools
- Sports Equipment = along wall furthest from yard at garage entrance
- Household Supplies = along wall by garage door to home
- Power Tools = next to household supplies
- Etc = move to another location if possible so you will have space for cars, scooters, Razors, golf carts, strollers, squiggly riding things…
- Combine like items in their new zones.
- Use on-hand storage shelves/bins/buckets/hooks/peg board before purchasing new.
- Peg board is a great way to keep everything visible & easy to access.
- Label bins & buckets so everyone knows where to store items.
- Use on-hand storage shelves/bins/buckets/hooks/peg board before purchasing new.
- Clean garage floor with a blower to remove large debris then broom for smaller dust.
- Return cars, bikes, scooters, Razors, squiggly riding things, golf cars, strollers back into garage.
- Anything outgrown or no longer loved can be donated.
Now the tools you need to bring your outdoor space to life are available to you!
