This morning I
ventured into my husband's domain and realized that the garage needed
organization. Know that straightening the garage is a thing that I
do every autumn because it makes finding the holiday decorations
easier.
My husband says
he knows where everything is but to tell you the truth it looks like
a fire hazard. Clutter everywhere and stacks of old newspapers that
are being saved to recycle, nothing in place, storage boxes not
organized, and golly I have no idea what is in them.
Everything in the
garage needs to be gone through and it is time to get rid of what we
have not used in the last two years. I prefer to not hold onto
things for a rainy day. I think it is better to donate to a charity
so that somebody can put good use to the item.
To make the
garage easier to go through we will divide it up into section. Take
everything out to the covered carport to go through the boxes, take
out what we do not use, and then repack the storage containers and label the outside.
Once the garage is organized and the cement floor swept and mopped then it will be so organized that the holiday decorations will be easy to find. The last thing I want to do come Christmas is looking through containers in a cold garage.

It is helpful to buy large storage containers in a variety of colors. You can find the colors at the end of the season. After Christmas it is easy to find red or green containers, after Halloween orange containers then the rest of the year the containers are blue or clear.
Here are some
storage labels for your containers that will help you to find what
you are looking for.
Red is a good color to use for a storage label because it is easy to see. Use a black waterproof marking pen to write on the label. Then highlight in yellow.
