5 signs it's time for a full garage cleanout

If you can't remember the last time you parked a car in your garage, it might be time for a cleanout. Here are five signs it's overdue: you can't find tools when you need them, boxes have been "temporary" for over a year, you're avoiding opening the door for guests, storage bins are stacked higher than you can safely reach, and every project gets postponed because there's nowhere to work. The good news is a full cleanout usually takes a single afternoon with the right help, and most of what comes out can be sorted into keep, donate, and haul piles before it ever leaves your driveway.
