The one wall is all windows, so it’s nice and bright, and even though it’s pretty utilitarian right now, I seem to be able to make it into something welcoming to walk into pretty easily..

OK, these are really more “the durings” at this point.The carpet is already ripped out.

Most of the furniture and junk has been moved out..The wheels are turning as we’re trying to figure out how we’re going to turn this mess into something beautiful.. We’ve got our work cut out for us this time, same as always!A few weeks ago I shared with you how I had completely blown it as far as taking care of our yard/property/whatever you want to call it over the Summer.At that time, I started a system of 15 minute daily yard work sessions, hoping to be a little more disciplined in getting things taken care of that were bugging me.

I was also really trying not to overwhelm myself and run screaming for the (non-existent) hills..Little things that bug me are getting taken care of and I don’t find myself putting things off until that magical time in the future when I have a whole day that I can/want to spend working outside on yard clean up..

The idea behind this system is to find something, anything, to do each day for around 15 minutes on whatever project (the yard in this case).

It’s about seeing how much you can get done in 15 minutes, but also how much you can get done when you develop a habit and use it 365 days a year.Basically, it was trashed.

We had no garage.. And here’s that same wall of the garage after:.This is obviously just an “in-progress” sneak peek, but basically Chris has now been able to start building an actually real workable workshop in there.

I just went in there and snapped this picture while he was in the middle of organizing all of his tools.So for $454.44 we got a whole garage!
