Over the years, we kind of just stacked all our junk in the garage.
The place became such a mess over the years, I was too embarrassed to even open the garage.
If the sight wasn’t terrible enough, the smell certainly was. I think some garbage bags were left in there and were never thrown out, so there has been a rotting stink in there. Well, I was surprised one day when my son asked if we could clean out the garage so he could practice music with his buddies. I thought that was a pretty good idea. I felt like all that crap had to go anyway and it would be nice to actually be able to use the garage again. So I had a bunch of buddies come over to help me clean and I had my son and his buddies help as well. It was nasty, but I found it helped when we used a couple of air purifiers in the garage while we were cleaning everything out. The air quality slowly improved when we were able to get all the rotting garbage thrown out and then we just had to get rid of most of the stuff. We ended up getting a trash trailer to fill up with all our junk and then it was all hauled away. We cleared out most of the garage except for some of the items that seemed to be of some value like the old window AC units. I thought those cooling units had to be worth something. We ended up using one of the window AC units in the garage for when my son practiced music with his buddies. We actually turned that garage around and I’m actually considering installing a ductless mini split in there for better energy efficiency in cooling the garage.
