Garage Part 2

We are moving house in mid December. After 10 years of marriage, 6 different rentals and 3 children we have finally bought a place of our own. We are so excited.

One problem? (well 4 if you count packing up, moving and unpacking)
No garage. Only a double carport! 
No garage = no storage = no dumping stuff into on moving day.

Solution? 

Long term = build a double lock up garage with storage cupboards

Short term = rental storage space somewhere offsite (that's Dean's job to organise)
                     = decluttering and purging (I've already started on that thanks to A Bowl Full of lemons Home Organisation 101)
                    
Lots of Crates

BEFORE

Total nightmare right? I cringe looking at it everyday.Things get taken out to the garage but not really organised. And I hate lifting heavy crates more than anything so it just gets left wherever my husband dumps it. 

I must have spent a total of 7 hours sorting this out last Thursday night. The time went fast. Purging the clothes and baby equipment meant that I freed up about 5 crates. I put them to good use believe me.

AFTER

Ah so much better! This is only Part 2 of the garage sorting, purging and organising. There is the other side and a couple of free-standing shelves to go.

We still have to move them and store them.
