Last Christmas my garage was storage for all kinds of crap. When we bought the house 8 years ago, the previous owners left some large cabinets in there with a bunch of crap on them like motor oil, paint etc... I thought it would be useful so we kept that. Then my ex SIL and my BIL asked to store stuff in there.
I got sick of it and my husband was wanting to look for a new house but there was no way to move without fixing everything wrong with our house anyway!
So, I decided to clear out all the crap and turn it into a office/ game room for our family. I am the child of hoarders and have tendencies toward it but I am not a victim and it's my house! I wanted to make it mine!
Almost a year later, I have cleared out all the clutter had the ceiling and walls done. We then found out the previous owners had had a leak which caused structural damage but they put new shingles over the hole and hid the water damage with oil based primer. Got that all fixed and painted, finally.
Today I have two guys diamond grinding, acid staining and then sealing the floor in there. By Saturday I can move furniture back in there.
It won't be complete by Christmas, but the bookshelves and desk that are going out there can be pulled out of my house, giving us more room everywhere for the 17 people coming over for Christmas lunch!
Extra bonus? I've lost 25 pounds from all the manual labor!
I'll post pics when it's done.
