I spent 6+ hours yesterday since it was cooler on the great garage cleanup project. Yes, that seems like a lot of time to spend on such a thing! My goal was to get some space to work on projects. I had two library tables that were stacked on top of each other that I had salvaged before they were destroyed when the old high school project I was working on was being demolished. I had permission just in case anyone was wondering! I got rid of an small table that I picked up off the roadside and replaced it with the library table. I swept and spent time putting stuff back where it belonged. I now have two surfaces to stage materials and I finally have the space for printing fabrics!
In the middle of the cleaning I decided to take some of the trim that I had bought years ago for several projects and trim out the garage man door. Here is the before and after. I still need to fill in the nail holes, give the door a good cleaning, and paint the door jam, but at least I used up the trim and finished out this door! It looks so much better.
Today will be another cooler day so I plan on working on the opposite side of the garage where I keep my gardening tools and my home improvement tools. They all need a bit of organizing. There is also the garage window that needs trimmed out like the one I did a couple months ago in the laundry utility room. It is going to be another busy day!

Great job getting the quilting done on the Harley quilt. Your stippling is so beautiful and even! I can tell by the size of it that it took forever but was well worth it.
The before and after pics so how much work you have put into your garage. It's so refreshing to see people using this negative Covid thing as positive time to reorganize and rebuild. Great productivity, Patty! We all know how much more productive we can be on the things we want to work on when we have a space that flows nicely.
Looks like another gorgeous day to get a few things done. :)
and rest a little!
Cooler days are the best for working in the garage. It wasn't long ago I was waiting for a warm enough day and then we got that hot spell. I hope you get the binding on today. It would be a good rest project between the others.
Old library tables like that are the best! Chris has one for a workbench too. Congrats on finishing the quilting. What's your next project when this is done?
Congratulations on getting so many tasks done. I admire your library tables. So useful and historic. Keep up the good work.
Geez, I wish I had your energy!
Will you have window coverings if some sort?
