I've mentioned before that I'm working on getting my place in shape. My hubs and I aren't exactly hoarders, but we both hate housecleaning, and we tend to hold onto stuff a lot longer than we need to, just because we're lazy.Since I'm reading three of this author's books for different parts of the house,I'm going to try something new and review in three parts. This review is for the decluttering your garage book.I'm going to admit something I probably shouldn't say in public, but since my hubs won't read this, it's fine. Prior to reading this book, we didn't go into our garage. At all. It was so filled with junk, there was nowhere to step! Our cars sat in the driveway, rain or shine or snow.So since I'm on a kick to get our place into order, I looked at this book and followed its ruthless directive to DECLUTTER. Biggest tip I found useful? We got a Dumpster. Then we started questioning if we really ever were going to use that broken lawnmower we got in 1996. Or that treadmill that had gotten so covered in dust, it looked like a ghost. You know what I'm talking about. And bit by bit, following the strategies given here, we got it cleaned out. The walls echoed when we high-fived!And now I can actually park my car in my garage! I can't wait for winter. If you're anything like me, get this book.
