We rent a garage, and for the past year it's been a waste of money. The rent was increased by 50% in one hit, but we have been reluctant to give it up as we might not be able to get one again if we need it in the future. I've been doing next year's budget, and it's just such a waste of money that we are going to have to let it go
A few days ago we went to see what was in it, to see what would have to be done to clear it by the end of the year.
I immediately started de-garaging. The easy bits first. The two bikes, used by various grandchildren and now outgrown, have been found new homes. I'm pleased for them, as they will get to be ridden a lotmrather than spending most of their time in the garage.
There are a few other bits that will be relocated in one of the sheds, and I'll aim to move those when we next have a dry day. Our shed space is lacking since we had to bring everything back from the allotment, we've already had to dispose of a lot of "come in handy" stuff anyway.
There's a pile of roof tiles which we will probably argue about (argue about wheter to keep them, and then where to keep them ). And then we have to deal with some of the more emotional/memorabilia things, where there won't be arguments, just decisions to be made.
I'd like to get it wrapped up in the next couple of weeks, rather than the next couple of months, but the weather - and Covid - will have a part to play in whether that can happen.
