The Beginings

THIS is my garage.  It is a mess.  It is a mess because I am lazy.

I am going to clean my garage.  When I am done it will not look like this.  It will look different.

I have a motive to cleaning my garage.  Use.  It looks the way it does because I have sort of used it, not fully used it, and used it in a lazy fashion.

I am going to use the garage to do wood work in.  I have made several things thus far with varying degrees of complexity and skill (read, not very much in the way of skill)  My goal is to continue to develop myself using hand tools.  No power tools.  I do not hate power tools (yet)  I am just choosing not to use them.  I can get into why later.  Mostly, I wanted to take this picture to shame myself into action.  See me shamed.  My next project is to build a work bench.  I will follow up with that.

I think you should practice before you take on your garage...

Come clean MY garage first....bring Cory and Justin with you. (yes, hope springs eternal)

Mother, I see that you made an April Fools joke.

Nathanael, I am excited to own a garage sometime soon. I too will endeavor to do work there. I happen to enjoy power tools, but perhaps your arguments will convince me otherwise.
