I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. He built his own garage. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? I used to darn my family’s socks, but now don’t. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”.

This is perfect for organizing your garage that you have been putting off or if you need a little more storage in your kitchen, laundry room, or office. We have a shelf like this one pictured above on our back porch for storing muddy and outdoor shoes. It is so nice to just put them on the shelf and not dirty up our home.

riding lawn mowers, garage door openers and many, many more things we take for granted today. Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. There were no garage door openers. There was no internet.

But if you belong to the opposite crowd, those who drag themselves to the gym or fall asleep lacing up their running shoes, then you have bigger fish to fry: lack of motivation. Purposely leave your running shoes where you can see them every day. But how do you motivate yourself to get off the couch and exercise?

Another way to ensure this could be to get used to leaving shoes in the garage or taking them off before entering the home so that they don’t track in any pesticides. If you use paint for a number of projects and crafts around the house, some green alternatives could be useful there as well.

Two car garages. With the two income household came the need for more than one set of wheels and consequently the desire for multiple garages. Now folks seem to need much more space for their clothing and shoes. We still just have one at our house though. Most households had only one car. Many new homes now have 4.
