What a concept!
It took over two years to accomplish, and as you can see from the picture
it is quite a tight fit, but we finally made enough room in the garage to allow us to actually park a vehicle in it.
It is so tight that at least for the near term, parking will be a two person job. The tolerances are just too tight for one person to do it by himself. Jeanie is a better parker than I am, so she will eventually be able to do it on her own. I'm not sure if I will be able to until we get some of the remaining furniture refinished, allowing us to make some more room to give some more clearance all around.
Jeanie and I had gotten close a couple of months ago, but hadn't quite made it. We decided that since we needed to take the Christmas stuff back to the storage unit, it would be a good day to decide what we could also take from the garage to make enough room. We also filled the garbage bin with empty boxes we had been hanging on to. Between moving some stuff to the storage unit, getting ride of the boxes, and doing some consolidation on the other side of the garage, we made just enough room.
It sure does make me miss our old house in Cary with our giant attic storage area and three car garage. Even with all the throwing away and giving away we did before we moved, this house just isn't large enough to hold all of our stuff.
The other side of the garage is now packed and stacked, and the storage unit is so full that you have to take stuff out of it to actually be able to walk in, but, I feel like this was a big accomplishment nonetheless.
