Does your garage look like the image above? Or is your car parked there?
Which would you rather store in your garage? An item that you spent several thousand dollars on and use pretty much every day, or a bunch of little things that are simply taking up space? Tools we know you’re not using since they’re functioning as glorified tables and not saws?
Especially in the snowy midwest, if your car is parked outside today and your garage is home to clutter, today’s the day to do something about it. Set your timer for twenty minutes and let’s get to work.
- Call a pawn shop and find out what they’ll give you for that table saw in the photo above. Schedule an appointment for delivery if necessary and write it in your calendar.
- Call Goodwill and schedule a pick up at their earliest available time.
- If the items cannot leave your possession call the closest off site storage to find prices, etc. Schedule an appointment to get your things moved there.
A garage can be a big job and the middle of winter may not be exactly the right time for it. If you really are motivated to get that car in the garage, though, any time can be the right time.
Just for the record, I’m not a fan of long-term off-site storage for our belongings. However, there are times when it can be a good short-term solution to a storage issue.
