Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. I look for the neighborhood sales, which are usually either in spring or fall.

In this scenario, however, there’s no guarantee that your garage sale will make you good money. It will help get rid of the household items you don’t use anymore; it might not make you much money.

Outdoor Lounge. If you’ve already gone through gallons of water playing in the sprinklers and filling up the pool, this is a great way of spending time outdoors and using your inflatable pool. This is a great way to use up those old tires, especially if you already have a tire swing! Outdoor Chalkboard. Music Wall.

Not into outdoor camping? Get some free video editing software, use a cell phone or camera to record and see what happens! Hold a garage sale together. Bake a cake together and use it as the prize for the winner of this event. Play old time outdoor backyard games. Have a hula hoop contest. A cake walk.

It’s a place where new residents quickly feel at home, thanks to the warm, welcoming community and the endless outdoor activities available right at their doorstep. Consider hosting a garage sale or listing items online to sell. Start with the spaces you’ll use most frequently, such as the bedroom and kitchen.
