Our hoarder's haunt:
Items no longer used in our house find their way out to the garage where they will marinate for a few years. They will then be transferred up into the 30 X 30 ft. loft space above the garage.


I ventured into this cavern of clutter today to locate whatever I was looking for. Once up there, I tripped over our collection of tomato cages and assorted pieces of chicken wire. Chicken wire? We've never even owned chickens. I think we got the chicken wire to make up tomato cages. So why then do we have 28 tomato cages?



Enough was enough. I started throwing stuff down onto the garage floor so I could pre-sort items(junk) before I throw stuff out.


One item was a rusted, metal pail shop vac that has been hidden up there for at least 15 years. Out of curiosity I plugged it in to see what would happen. Is smoke supposed to come out of the top?


So far I've filled up 5 big trash cans of junk and will now transfer the tomato cages out to our other shed out back.
I guess I'll repeat this process out in the back shed in another 15 years.
