Garage Beautification Month

Time to square those shoulders and tackle the messiest, most unorganized room in your home. If you don’t think it’s important, just try selling a home without one and leave your car, washer, dryer, bike and tools outside. So, if you’re pulling in at high speed with all the lights off and closing the door while the car’s still moving so neighbors won’t see your junk, time to start “beautifying”. If you have bare studs then drywall is a good start. Then tackle floors. Clean grease spots with cat litter and coca-cola. Next, use chlorine bleach and powdered laundry detergent in very hot water. Then hang as much stuff as you can on walls and from the ceiling. Then add shelves, cabinets and paint. Before you know it, you’ll be looking for reasons to spend time out in the garage and it will be way better when you are “in the doghouse.” And that's the On The House tip for today...
