Too Long, Don't Bother Reading (TLDBR) version - glad to be here and look forward to being part of the community.
I have 3 Garages in Sacramento county, so I figured being here was almost mandatory. #1 is a 3-car, with no actual cars in it, attached to my primary residence of 31 years in Elk Grove. #2 is next door - I bought the house in 2008 for cheap and have been renting it to my GF since (probably a whole 'nother thread!). That one is a 2-car with no actual cars in it - mostly **** she's accumulated. #3 I got the hard way - handed down when my Mom died in November 2019. This one in Fair Oaks will be my focus when posting on here as I will rebuilding the house & detached 2-car garage and move there when completed.
I have been reading on here some very inspiring threads about the struggle to get a garage in the shape you dream of...or at least close to useful and cool. I, like many, have accumulated too much stuff and have a very hard time thinning things out, but my resolve is bolstered by others here. The combination of having OCD and the "that's still good, I can use it someday" mentality is a daily nightmare!
Anyway, I'm not married, have adult kids (one at home, one 30 miles away, and one in Chicago), five grandkids with one on the way, am retired but still do part time work with select client agencies.
Oh, and I have some degree of dyslexia, so don't think I'm drunk-posting when you see goofy misspellings in my posts.
