I sold 12 different pieces of furniture/items this summer that we had somehow acquired that had been sitting in our basement for years. It was such an incredible feeling.

I have a garage and dont park in it. There is room for the car, i just choose not to. It's a tiny alley and a small garage and more difficult to navigate. Much easier to park in the open spot next to it or on the side walk in front.

You're part of the problem Strat. Just admit it.

I have plenty of space for two cars in the driveway, side by side.
My garage is only a 1 car, and it’s centered on the driveway so it would be really hard to get the car from the garage out, with the other car in the driveway even if all the way over to one side.
So I get to start playing drums again.

I’ll get dampers for everything as not to disturb the neighbors. I will have a place to hang my framed posters finally.
All I have to do now is tell Mrs. Bam. Pray for me.
careful with the posters, unless they aren't of any value, or if the garage is sealed pretty well around the garage door. our wet air for 9-10 straight months could do a number on them.

Good call thanks.
What if I told you they have been out in the shed for like 4 years and now in the garage already for over a year?

Spent the day running an Ethernet line to my office as the wifi wasn't cutting it. 96Mbps now, and we have a third router for extra coverage, particularly for the backyard.

if i read this correctly, Bammer has the drums that Matt Cameron used for Binaural, and he's kept them in a temperature or humidity uncontrolled shed in his backyard.
wtf Bammer, explain thyself

The framed posters were in the shed the whole time. The drums were in a closet until about a year ago, now in my garage. The garage seems ok in terms of temperature and moisture.

Putting new flooring down in two rooms in the house. The main living room, and the "formal" one, which is our music room. I started with the music room because it is smaller, only right angles, and I thought it would be easy. Well, I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and it is not easy. It is a tongue and groove "floating" floor. The shit is constanly sliding out of place until you get the next row started. It's hard on the knees, and mind numbinglly monotonous. Pretty sure for the bigger room, I'll rip up the carpet, prep the floor, and then pay someone to install it. What the hell was I thinking? I'll get it done, but I have better things to do.
