Spring cleaning

OK, Spring isn't here yet, but I've put cleaning my garage on the front burner. I've got a bunch of old crap that needs to be thrown out and a bunch more stuff organized. I'm tired of not being able to work in there since the weather is starting to get better.

What spring cleaning projects are you thinking about doing?

I guess I could also clean the extra junk out of POJ, but then I might need it when I'm wheeling. I guess I don't' need the old dead sunflower seeds in the bottom of the console though.

I want to do a garden. But really no place to put it. Maybe a small hanging mator plants for the awning out front.

That's harsh Flip.

Worked in the garage last night for a while, but after moving stuff around I still need to back the truck up and fill up the bed with stuff to go to the dump.

Chad's wife gave me a bunch of styrofoam insulation for garage doors, and I plan to secure it to the walls of the new to me trailer to keep it from getting so hot/cold in the trailer if I camp in it. also to try to make it look a little nicer. After that little project is done, I need to put the father in law's scooter back together so I can take it back to him in the trailer, then move all the camping gear to the trailer after I seal up any and all holes to keep out moisture, and maybe put a roof vent in it from a camper. May do that while doing the insulation if I can find time. Then I will organize the garage, line up a set of tools for offroad trips to carry in the trailer full time, and once that is all complete....

I can finally unwrap my new welder out of its packaging and design, and weld my stirrups onto the Jeep, paint, the mounts.

Gotta do all this before our anniversary (cause I need the stirrups for something I am doing for the wife the day of the anniversary)

Welder is officially hers till the garage is cleaned up.

She got a Harbor Freight 124.99 dollar welder for 89.99 from the banner up on top of this website. I printed out the coupon, and took it and used her (our) debit card, she said its hers till I clean up the garage.

She really knows how to put the pressure on doesn't she! That's almost as bad as holding out on sex. LOL

Yeah. its a dirty rotten trick, because she was already listing things she wanted to move from in the house to the garage one it was clean.

So as of right now and possibly the future the Garage is hers and not yours since she has a list of things?
