First step: Everything gets pulled out of the shed!

Today Paul James is on the job helping Mike Baker reorganize his sloppy storage shed so he can quickly and easily find his yard and garden "stuff." Here’s Paul’s plan:

Step 1: Remove everything from the shed and start with an empty space.

Step 2: Stage or organize the stuff by category outside the shed.

Step 3: Sweep out the empty shed. Now it's time to get organized!
