Yard sale stuff

Tammy and I are going through stuff so we can hold a yard sale this Friday and Saturday to get rid of some of my junk stuff.

Monday we went through the bunk house room to clean and organize it.  I expected the bunk house room to take a long time and I was right.  On Tuesday, before Tammy and I attended the Picnic in the Park concert, we tackled the garage.  I thought it would only take an hour or so to go through the garage and we spent hours on it.

Wednesday we worked on the main floor of the house and Thursday we went through part of the basement.  The basement is a big project and one that will be completed another time.  We had a bunch of stuff to sell and decided to quit sorting through the basement and move to working on setting up the tables and pricing items. Most of the stuff had been placed on tables and priced by the time it got dark.

We have it mostly stored in the garage overnight in prep for a 9 am start tomorrow.  Hopefully I get rid of most of the junk stuff this weekend.

The temperature reached 97 on Thursday.  It was warm but didn't feel that warm.  A front is passing through tonight and that is keeping the temperature high (still 72 degrees near midnight!) while lightning occasionally flashes in the distance.  Friday's high is predicted to be 68 degrees (when one discounts the high temperature just after midnight).  As long as we don't get rain the next several days and the weather doesn't keep people away from the yard sale.

In addition to getting stuff to sell I am building a large burn pile for when we have bonfires later.  This photo is just of stuff for the bonfire that we got out of the bunk house room (the door in the center of the photo).  The bunk house room is less than half of the garage.
