Project Garage Clean Out - Day 1...

Mar 25, 2013 17:31

I mentioned in my earlier post that I was goofing around in the garage - trying to start to clean it up.  I always start in the same place: the Work Bench.
1.)  So quickly I was able to Put this 13" TV in the GoodWill Pile. DONATE - 1 thing


I was going to mount it in the Garage so I could watch while I was working... Yeah.  When I said it Aloud to myself I had the same reaction.
"WHY?"
And yes I did clean up my reaction.  I think it was more like "WTF?"  or "Are you Kidding Me?"  But the one word really says it all.  I can list a plethora of reasons why I don't need a TV in the Garage... But I really don't need to do I?  I just put it in the pile and moved on to the next trouble spot on the bench.

2.)  I have been moving this piece of aluminum all around the garage for the last couple of years.  I had gotten it for a Bird Feeder repair.  I used it to cover the roof of the feeder and... the feeder is gone now.  And so is this metal flashing.  I am tired of cutting myself on it.  If I need more, I will go buy it. SCRAP PILE  - 1 thing


3.)  Another Item that's been floating around on the bench for more than 4 years.  This camera.  I'm thinking I wanted it so I could get waterproof case off and use it for.... yeah... It's another time I said "WHY?"  There's about 10 pictures on it I don't even care what's on it.  I think there is some pictures from a tubing trip that... frankly I don't want to see the pics.  the memories are better!  so I just threw it out!   TRASH - 1 thing



Hopefully that the connection will correct the pic.  I did the editing, but the link is jacked.

4.)  The more I work at the bench I always find stuff I need to toss.  I had been staining the tool box and I looked up at the cubby drawers and see something.  It's an entire drawer full of StainGlass Paint.  That was from the old window I put in my bathroom.  I hung it in front of my big picture window to block people from going blind from seeing me naked in my bathroom.  7 bottles of the stuff... and they were all partial bottles that were hard as a rock.  So I tossed them in the can.  it's so Crazy... this crap is everywhere.  I don't even go out of my to find it and there it is. TRASH - 1 thing  - 7 items



5.)  The toolbox project... so far has yielded 2 empty quart cans that has been hanging around for at least a minimum of 7 years.  I'm using them right now to hold the box up while I Poly it.  I will get pics soon.  I have one that can hold the space.  It's of the wood revitalizer / conditioner.  I took 2 cans of stain and combined them into 1.  So that is other empty can.  I will next be working on the Lucy Memory box.  I'm sure I will be using the rest of the stain and Poly on it. TRASH - 1 thing - 2 items
