For a week, we've been working on clearing out my father's construction goods. He worked construction on the side for 52 years, so the accumulation was sizable. He had a massive shop with lots of custom built storage bins, rafters full of extra wooden trims and lumber, tools, plumbing parts, electrical parts and about 30 boxes or bins of various nails. It was a HUGE undertaking. We set up a yard sale for four days. I'd say we cleared out about half of the offerings from the sale.
Habitat for Humanity is a charity which enables people to build and own their own homes, using volunteers and donated supplies to help alleviate some of the costs. They sponsor Restore stores which accept building materials (like nails), paint, discarded kitchen cupboards, furniture, and more. This is a WONDERFUL place to donate things from a garage.
We are taking a couple truckloads of what didn't sell to the nearest Restore. It is a great feeling knowing these building materials will help others with home projects at a reduced cost. It's an even better feeling to get all of it out of the garage and shop!
