The Garage Sale

Sat and Sun we will be having a garage sale from 10-4. I have never held a garage sale before. And I never realized how much WORK it is to get everything ready. Especially since we are trying to sell just about everything. The garage is packed and items are priced…we just hope for sun this weekend so we can move some of the stuff out into the driveway during the sale.

One thing I found is that the Seattle Times offers free garage sale ads. Nice. We began the ad last night and have had several email/phone call inquiries. And of course, I also listed the garage sale on Craigslist.

So just about everything is out of the house. It looks so strange. But it feels so “light.”

When we had our last garage sale a big sign at the end of the driveway that said "moving to Mexico, everything goes" brought in a lot of people....

And yes, it is a huge amount of work! I used a gardening apron for the money, Paul used his fishing vest....lots of pockets makes it easier to keep the bills separate.

Have fun!
