Officially a Two-Car Garage

After 10 months of hard work on weekenight, and I believe a constant battle from both of our parents, we finally have a two car garage.

Remember what it looked like back in February?

Then we cleaned it up so it looked like this:

Then we had a couple setbacks.  The first came when my parents, secretly when we weren't home, dropped off many boxes.  Some were from my childhood, and other things they were giving to us to sell in our garage sale.

Oh yes, our garage sale.  I think we will be having a garage sell every year.  Yes, it was a pain.  Yes, we had to wake up before the crack of dawn.  Yes, I was exhausted at the end.  But we made $700!  That's right $700.  I hope we never accumulate all the stuff we did for this yard sale, however a year goes by, and if we haven't been using it, it's gone!

I know you won't believe me when I say this, but once the sale was over, and we put everything back in the garage, it was just a full as when we first started.  Yes, we made money on the sale, but I swear we had just as much stuff!

So we called one of my favorite shelters in SoCal, Venice Tabernacle.  When I was younger, and lived in Santa Monica, we became very close to the people that work and live there.  They are such an example of not wasting your life.  

Okay, so now my garage story sounds silly, but I will continue. 

Once they picked up everything, and I mean everything, we felt like we were at the home stretch. 

Then, I believe after conspiring with my folks, the Hacker's parents decided to drop over his childhood boxes to the mix.

If I need something to light a fire under me, apparently this was it.  Because that night, we went to work.  And guess what we figured out at the end?  

We still had stuff, that we needed to go through.  And I believe there are many things that we don't use and don't need still in this pile.  But this is it!  This is all we had left.  And it fit perfectly behind the mustang, giving us plenty of room for....

The big truck!  It fits with a little room to spare.  We know it's tight, and the truck won't be staying since we have to remove everything out to get started on the installation and the drywall.  

But still, there is something satisfying about being about to fit two cars in the garage.  So we did it.  Even if it is temporary.

And it makes the front of our house look friendlier.  

xo,

Kristin

Having a two car garage seems to be more efficient rather than having a small garage. ANyway, maximize the use of your garage since not everyone has a garage like yours.
