When starting to organize your garage you will want to have a trash can ready. If its trash, throw it out now. If you have something you have been saving for years and thought you would get around to fixing it, do you really think you will fix it now? If not throw it away.
You will want to combine like items. Some suggestions of item to group together:
- Plumbing items
- Painting items
- Hardware items
- Auto repair items
- Sports items
- Hobbies
- Holiday - and separate them by seasons.
- Return items to original owners.
- Are you still storing items for your children who have a house?
- Donations - all usable items that you do not want or need.
You get the picture. When you put the items together, have the same size boxes or tubs, in order to stack the containers, if you are not using see through containers be sure to label all containers.
Sounds simple, right? There are several ways to get started. See Blog two
