  • 13+ hours into Operation Compact Garage, taking a break for sleep. Garage 80% emptied. In morning, finish empty, then put everything back! 07:17:06
  • After some sleep, resuming Operation Compact Garage… 16:58:38

28 Hours Later

Once again, click to embiggen (since folks liked that word).

And, um, the driveway:

Now time to start putting everything back. Hopefully in a more compact (and accessible) fashion. Unfortunately, given that it took just short of 28 hours (including breaks for sleep, food, etc.) to empty the garage, I find it unlikely that it will all get back in the garage before the end of the weekend.

I may have to take some personal time from work on Monday to finish. Either that or just not worry about leaving some stuff in the driveway a few more days than I had planned. It isn’t supposed to rain, so I GUESS that is a possibility. I really want to get this done though.

Plan: It is a nice sunny warm weekend. No rain forecast. Empty the ENTIRE garage, putting everything in the driveway. Then put it all back, just in a more compact and possibly (but maybe not) organized way. Based on exploring the voids currently in the garage, I expect to be able to free up 1/3 to 1/2 of the garage. We shall see!
