Super Duper Cleanup Time July 23

My entire family is a little lacking in organization and motivation for cleaning. The result is a big mess. Our regularily-used rooms are ok at the moment, but places like the basement (especially the laundry room) and the garage (we couldn't even get in from one side) were a horrible uninhabited mess. Well, a lot of spiders live there, but that's actually not a good thing...
That's all changing right now. We have too much stuff, and most of it's in the garage. We're getting rid of it and doing a giant clean-up.
Most allarmingly, after we had discussed the need to clear out the garage, it got too much stuff and an object jammed the door that was working. So we had no way to get into the garage after all that (the door from inside the house had been jammed for years - it was a problem with the doorknob), except through removing the doorknob to the inside door. So we did that yesterday. Then I went in and moved the object blocking the big door on the outside, and opened it up.
Yay!! Our garage is more functional than it has been in years!
Of course, it's still difficult to open the inside door, and we need a new doorknob, but it's ok to open it if you have a pair of square-shaped chopsticks!
So, today, I volunteered to organize the garage into junk and useful/valuable stuff, not wanting to come off as all talk and no action, as I kept going on about it before...
We're going to throw most of it out, but first it needed organized... I think I've already done most of that. Once we get rid of all the crap we'll have to dust, sweep, and wash the place, replacing the light and doorknob. Oooh, fun. Then it will be usable again. While we're at it my brother will be working on the laundry room. While it's a lot smaller, we had some humidity issues as well and there may be a lot of mould hiding out down there. Even though the garage is gigantic and gross, I'm glad I'm not down there X/
But... there will be so much space... they will be usable again! *Squees*
I'm a failure neat-freak. I think I'm a neat freak but have discipline issues. It's why I haven't posted anything in a while - I've been slacking off a lot, other than the last two days which have been for housework.

I know, my house is really disgusting. But most of that is changing right now, it makes me happy. Now if only we could get the steam-cleaner to work...
