Yard Sale

We are trying to get our garage emptied of all the useless crap in it so we can turn it into a dog barn of sorts.  When we moved into our house seven, yes seven, years ago, we put all the stuff we eventually wanted to get rid of into the garage, with future plans of having a yard sale.  Well, naturally, out of sight is as much as out of mind, right?  We put it off and put it off, but now we would really like it gone.  We have decided that the dogs would rest better between runs during the winter if we could set them up "stalls" in the garage, sort of like dog box compartments, for them to rest in after and between runs, especially when we get to longer runs.  They would be able to share body heat and there would be no wind or snow to bother them, and hopefully they would be better rested and more ready for the next run.  Right now, future racing plans are for mid distance and stage type races, so we think that resting them this way shouldn't make them unprepared for those races, and we hope to be able to have the barn set up with areas for examinations and for feed storage and prep.
  But first, we have to get all the crap that's been sitting in there for the last seven years out of the way.  We had a yard sale starting last Sunday, and a few days this week.  Unfortunately, the weather has been iffy, and with wind and rain, it makes it a lot harder, but we have managed to get rid of some stuff, the rest will probably go to charity or the transfer station, just get it gone!

The stuff.  Garage in the background. Not pretty, but it'll do.

Autumn trying to make things more presentable.

Found the old bike helmet!

A bit too small!

With lots of time on our hands, the cat enjoyed her treats...she really loves BBQ chips.

And , toward the end of the day, we were going to cover stuff with plastic.  Jeremy brought a GIANT plastic bag home from work, and of course, Elliot decide it was a pretty fun toy...

Too much time on our hands?
