It’s a Bank Holiday weekend, which of course means we’re doing stuff on the house again.

To be exact, this time it’s the garage that needs sorting out.

It’s not actually a garage – whoever built the thing fucked it up, so it’s round a dog-leg corner behind the house, and thus well-night impossible to park a car in. (Of course, that just shows I’m getting old – who the hell parks their car in their garage these days?) As a result, it’s been a storage tip spot for stuff since we moved in.

It still will be a storage place, but we’ve sorted out a lot of the stuff inside it this weekend, taking out the bits we don’t need and/or putting things in far more order.

So far, it also means that I (with some help from Herself) have :

• Put up an offcut of the kitchen worktop, for use as work-surface (and storage surface) in the garage
• Put up two lots of ladder-hooks, and hung ladders from them (which haven’t yet fallen off again)
• Put up another set of hooks for a couple of other heavy odds and sods to hang off
• Done two runs to local tips, one with everyday rubbish to our normal recycling place at Snetterton, and one with tins of paint etc. to the rather more serious one at Knettishall

There’s still plenty more to do, but at least we’re getting somewhere. Even more importantly, it’s beginning to look like the garage will become properly usable space after all…
