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!!!

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...
