So many toddler toys and sporting goods on the curb in front of our house! Got my now college age kid to help.

We put up a huge “free” sign, and at least some things found a new home. Three bicycles, two portable soccer nets, and a pair of roller blades definitely gone but there’s just so much stuff that I really couldn’t say what’s no longer there

I’m disappointed the snow blower didn’t go. Yeah it’s older and needs service but it’s a nice two stage, self-propelled, auto-start model where bringing it back to life would be a fraction of the cost of buying something like that

    Good work. I’m looking to shift some things from my spare room (which is chock full of random stuff) to my garage, do you have any tips on storage? Just thick cardboard boxes? Plastic crates? TIA

      Only a few things not to do. Over enough time, bugs, critters and dampness win every time, plastic bags degrade, organization falls apart. Don’t store anything that could be damaged by dampness in a garage, and do use something sturdier than plastic bags.

      I’ve seen people whose cardboard boxes were used as nesting material but not in mine

      But realistically if I were good at storage and organization I wouldn’t have so much stuff that just needed to go
