BEST WAYS TO ORGANIZE YOUR GARAGE THIS SUMMER
1. Use as much vertical and ceiling space as possible. This rule is particularly important if you're planning to keep your car here. Make sure you'll have room to pull the car in without running into — or over — anything.
2. Before reorganizing, try taking everything out of your garage. Looking at the space you have as a blank canvas can give you a better idea of what you're working with.
3. Decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away. When you find yourself questioning a particular item, ask yourself:
-Do I love it?
-Do I need it?
-When was the last time I used this?
-If I donated it, could it be safely used by another person?
-Do I love it?
-Do I need it?
-When was the last time I used this?
-If I donated it, could it be safely used by another person?
4. Group like items together so they're easy to find.
5. Decide which area of the garage is going to be used for what purpose. Think carefully about what you want your garage to be used for, and the best possible way this space can be divided.
6. Label absolutely everything. If you’re tired of drawers and bins full of a hodgepodge of nails, screws, and bolts, take the time to sort each piece by type and label your storage containers and shelves accordingly. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Yes.

3 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR HOME FOR THE SUMMER...
1) Protect all your exterior wood: From furniture and decks to fences and siding, wood adds a touch of understated natural beauty to the exterior of your home. Wood also takes a lot of abuse from rain, snow, and sun. Keep them in good shape by staining or sealing them.
2) Replace windows that have broken seals or simply improve the quality of the glass. If you notice that your windows are "fogging," chances are the seal is broken and you need to do some replacing. You don't have to change the entire window, just the glass to avoid high costs. Replacing drafty single pane windows with insulated, double pane vinyl windows is a great way to save energy, reduce noise, and improve the look of your home.
3) Add insulation: Another way to reduce your utility bills, both summer and winter, is to make sure your attic has plenty of insulation.
Enjoy the summer!!!
