Cleaned the Garage...AGAIN!

This past Saturday, Chris and I tackled the task of cleaning our garage...AGAIN! I am determined to get the place organized and cleaned so I can get new garage doors and park my precious car inside, I mostly say it is precious because in just a few months it will be holding precious cargo and I want to be able to take our daughter out of the car and directly into the garage without any ornery weather getting in our way. Anyways, we have yet to come up with the funds for the doors and their installation, but this makes me feel closer to the task regardless.

I never posted pictures after we replaced the sheet rock on the ceiling and added a wall to enclose my laundry room. So here are some pictures of that event:






No ceiling




















no ceiling in laundry room



















framing in the laundry room




















ceiling done...measuring for the door















this made me very nervous...
















new door...what I want ALL the doors to look like in my house eventually

Now here are the pictures of our latest cleaning adventure. As you will see, Chris and I FINALLY got his tool chest/work bench put together that I got him 2 Christmas' ago and we put together a couple of shelving units to stack all of our stuff on. The Rubbermaid one was easy and Chris had it put together in minutes...the metal one on the other hand, was not so easy. Nuts and bolts everywhere, the thing took FOREVER to get everything in place so it was finally stable...I do not recommend the purchase of these metal shelves to anyone. Chris got frustrated and then had to go get ready for work, so I ended up finishing that little project and I think I did a pretty good job.

I know, seeing a slightly cleaner garage may not be all that exciting to you, but I REALLY want to get this task completed and posting on here keeps me accountable. Now, if I could just pay off some things and start saving for my garage doors...
