Gremlin Garage creeps closer to respectability...

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 Well, 'bout froze my toes off, working in my garage last nite, but 
it's the only way I'm gonna make progress! I started when I got home from 
work, and finally shut the door about 10:30 pm with a few "heat" breaks in 
between for dinner and foot-warming. It sure is slow work when you're a pack 
rat, going thru things, organizing, etc! I had to totally remove items from 
an overhead shelf, add a more substantial board, then repack it with useable 
items, and put all the things that were toys or long-term items up in the 
garage attic. It looks about the way it did when I started after work, 
although now I have mostly "useful" stuff like electrical wiring, plumbing, 
etc,on the shelfs instead of car parts that I"m not gonna use for a while. :) 
Still working in that same 1/4 corner in the garage, but I did complete a 
project while out there...took one of my packratted bar table bases, cut some 
wood to fit the top, then mounted my table saw to it. The metal base is huge, 
and heavy, so it's not likely to tip over, and I can now get the saw off my 
workbench where I can use it more effectively. All in all, a pretty good 
evenings work. Still have lots of stuff to shove upstairs into the attic, 
that's what will take the time, going thru it, repacking, and getting it up 
the ladder into storage. Please, Lady Luck, give me a Lotto win! LOL. Oh 
well, I'll keep my "stuff", it does save money in the long run, and now that 
I have my own home to store it without anyone ELSE complaining..I won't 
anymore. Well, guess it's off to work, I'll get back on my ongoing Garage 
Cleanup Project when I get home again this evening. I did find my used 
Gremlin and Hornet gas caps while cleaning up... :)
