A Garage For All Interests

The McMonagles need help, and professional organizer Genevieve Snyder presents a plan that will give them the clutter-control they crave and space for their two cars.

First, she has them sort everything into categories such as sports, toys, yard tools, and seasonal. Items are further sorted into a keep, relocate, charity/yard sale, or trash pile. Since the McMonagles use 98 percent of the equipment they own, the key to controlling the clutter is adequate storage.

Unsafe storage of home-maintenance items, especially chemicals, is at the top of the list of needed changes.
