Ok - I have decided...after much pushing and prodding to stay on track from this board - the garage is mine.

Today besides meeting my new quilting friend.....

I finished the clean up - all the shelves are dusted and cleaned (we have cabinets that line 2 of the long walls of the garage - those are all cleaned out as well)

All lawn tools moved to the back shed.

60 items placed on ebay.

Whew!!!!

all items for the garage sale sorted; cleaned and ready to be priced

All stored material washed; folded and stored properly now.

Bid to close up the attic above the garage requested

Priced carpet for the garage tonight - ugh may have to wait on that unless the garage sale goes well

Peg board instead of faux wall to cover garage door - ordered (that I could afford after last week's ebay sales).

I have to look at lighting - that is the only thing really lacking - while there is a really good ballist(sp?) with 4 bulbs in it - it sits up at the front of the garage so I think I'll need something for the middle of it.

Last but not least - I have to get a portable AC - with the weather getting so much warmer that is a must.

On my wish list will be a TV for out there - for now if I want to watch or listen to something I can do it on my computer.

So after the garage sale Friday and ebay sales this week - I'll be ready to actually start fixing the garage up and moving in!

Now if I waiver - ya'll have to keep me on track my son had sad eyes at dinner when I announced everything I had done!!!

post pics of your progress :D

You can do it. Just think of what you will be doing in there. Keep posting.

What's your user name on ebay? Would love to see what you have.

Good for you! U go girl!!

Leota - I'm too embarassed to post any before pictures - which I took - but tomorrow I'll get the dumpter to show how much we moved out...for now - see below!

its in my signature block...I still have more to put up tomorrow and I just noticed I have to fix some pictures that didn't come out well...but its too late to do it tonight and I spent way too much time away from the board today :lol: :roll:

Oh and the quilt edges you see - that's not for sale...I did that as a raffle quilt when my youngest daughter was in 1st grade and I haed bidding on my own work but I really wanted it - so not only did I make it for free - I had to pay for it :) oh well - it is hanging there to dry - I didn't want to put it in the dryer...

I love taking before and after pictures. They always show amazing progress!

That will be a great getaway for quilting. Congrats!
