Yes, I was thinking of Dana’s no mess organization strategy!

Andrea...a tip from my father who is so organized it's scary...he said put things back as soon as you're finished with them, no matter how tired...teach your kids to put their toys away in an organized fashion also That way you never have to wonder where that hammer, drill, toy went to when you need it...next day or month . He's a big believer in hanging things up and taking advantage of that space Hooks on walls to hang ladders, golf clubs, extension cords, etc...can see but out of way. Also, he's built extra storage cupboards along upper side walls with simple doors on them on both sides of garage ( overhead)...they hold all Christmas items...trees, totes, etc. Other side holds things like small coolers, tarps. He then bought a couple of the Sterile lite storage units for things like paints, stains, car wash items. And if you think this is organized, lol 😂, you should see his bookkeeping technique...he can cross reference things 4-5 different ways and can put his hands on anything he needs within a minute...and yes we tease him about it saying he has too much time on his hands... he's 94!!! We've found that out of 5 kids..his traits have rubbed off on all of us a bit... remember... you're also setting good examples for your kids... Love the shows...have learned a lot from you...keep up the good work Question ❓ How does the government's new ruling on FB Marketplace taxing on items affect your projects?

I'd recommend to fix and seal the concrete floor, it would stop the dust and be a substantial improovement. Together with cabinets along one of the walls and a nice worktop on top of those, that garage can turn into something really nice. That garage bulding with the high roof and rafters has potential. It was really fun and entertaining to watch. Andrea standing on that piece of furniture and screaming in panic was hillarious.

Yes I agree paint and seal the floor. And why put the bike rack in the way of the timber and paint storage?

“She also did some ballet exercises” + the nutcracker music 😂 Garage looks great! Wouldn’t even mind a part 3! 😉 Also this video confirms it, Andrea is my kindred spirit; the name, high school artist, furniture hoarding, DIYer, and we even had a opossum in our garage last year! We also had to gently nudge it out with a broom 😂 I organized our garage in 2020, it is time for another organization and fingers crossed no dehydrated rat 😄

Oh my soul I cannot I absolutely adore you two. The scream scene was so funny. I have never laughed so much for anyone on youtube. Andrea your house is incredible garages are always overlooked there is no shame.

Every organised house has to have a messy place hidden, I learned it from Friends (Monica’s secret closet 😂) and also my garage 🤦🏻‍♀️

What's so great to see is how affectionate and kind you two are towards one another. Super cool.

Dean: Where we going now? Andrea: Antiquing! and I want coffee!! Dean: So demanding 😂😂😂 you guys are so funny I watched this part about 20 times 😂

OMG, this video came up in my suggestions and I'm so glad I watched. The way she barely tolerates all of his nonsense (ninja moves, pogo stick, posing) is hysterical. So relatable to anyone who's ever done a project like this with their partner/spouse. SUBSCRIBED.

I can’t begin to imagine how much time it took to edit this video. Great job Dean. SO entertaining

Omg I was not expecting the one year later twist😂

Dean really could have gotten hurt hitting his head like that so I’ll have to say I got such a kick out of Andrea screaming while standing on the wooden box. That poor possum was terrified!!! Still gotta chuckle that such an accomplished, capable woman just falls apart with little critters. She did pickup the dead rat though!!!! Love your channel! Always entertaining and fun.

That was great! Most entertaining video of the year. I'm still laughing over Andrea. I did wonder if she might leave Dean in the rafters when she put the ladder away🤭. We have all been there.

She should make this her own workshop. That would be cool to see.

Hahaha the red tshirt/coat man I’m obsessed with this channel my brother passed away this past march first and this channel has kept me so occupied and no time to cry this means the absolute world to me thank you for such amazing content and creativity best channel everrrrrrrr

Hello guys, great video, so are you turning your garage into a woodshop ? hmm... because garages are for minivans 😒 I vote to turn it into a wood shop, so you need more open room hang the bikes in the air and get more cabinets installed around the perimeter of the garage. Epoxy the floor, adding more lights. Andrea, there is your own wood shop / video stage...hahaha, great filming and editing, Dean. Take care, thanks 😊

I told my husband this must be older footage because I didn't see the workbench or saw cart. When you went to one-year -later I died laughing! Sorry. This was such an entertaining video. Loved the opossum! (we once had a baby opossum in our house, 2nd floor! for who knows how long.) My husband has just finished a 2-month long clean out of our garage. You're not alone! LOVED the part where Dean was in all different positions while "helping" move the paint shelves. Great editing. Love you guys!!

the moment he said, "downfall", i actually gasped. (14:50) love the content though, keep posting!

Greetings from Egypt, Andrea looks so cute screaming when she saw that possum like you said, she takes on a lot of work. Also, I love it that Dean gave her a break, and helped with the heavy lifting. Actually, it's nice that you are taking a break from the big projects, can't imagine the stress of posting weekly that kind of content.

I know I'm going to hellfor how hard I laughed at the screams about the possum. This woman handles all kinds of tools the average person would hurt themselves with, but the possum wins 🏆

I appreciate this. Some of us can go through life feeling like we must be the _only_ one with that spare room or garage so full of junk you can't even walk through it. Having an example of people who look like they "have it all together" struggling with the same kind of "dumb" issues is encouraging.

Thank you. I am just coming back to a clear, clean, and create an organized work area. Like you, I was Gung Ho and made a truly epic effort and progress last fall until my son's party. When everything was piled back in, in a rush, it had been worked around all winter..... I am ready! Pull it all out and this time.... Organized! I was less than impressed with myself. it was good to see, I am just human, and there is hope.

I ran estate sales for years. We had so many critters alive and dead. Piles of roaches. So many live rats. You cat imagine! Just to get to the 100 years of amazing items folks piled up in their homes. Yes in their homes!

Your neighbours must be thoroughly entertained😆🤣..I'm sure you two could make watching paint dry fun! Lol

The head clunk was way funnier for me!! You two are a riot and quite a lot of fun to watch! ❤️

I absolutely love cleaning and organization videos! This is was great! The possum, time lapse, and free.99 were all golden! Sorry but screaming at the snake, mice, and possum gets the prize each time🏆! Thanks for sharing.

That was a BIG possum. Ya'll had me laughing so hard when you opened up the garage one year later.

That opossum kept your garage free from other pesky little pests and they are completely harmless to humans. What a great resident to have!!!

Darn, you could saddle and ride that big ‘ole opossum - Priceless movie scream from DIYWIFE (sympathy sounds from my co-workers, y’all)! Laughing myself silly and loving the honesty in your efforts, no matter that long span between… Every homeowner needs to watch this video of your reclamation of your garage workspace.

You guys make cleaning out the garage a fun adventure!!....the whole video was incredible.....from watching Andrea screaming on a piece of furniture.....to Dean riding on kids toys, and talking about golf....just priceless!!!......

So inspired to tackle some of my own purging and organizing! And dang!!! That possum looked like it could take you both on and come out a winner if it wanted!

Your garage story is universal. Except for the possum, that’s possibly a Texas thing. Canadians have polar bears hiding in their garages. (Jk)

Don't worry about what it looked like. That's real life. You are a great family ,busy doing great things.

I'm pretty sure my two car garage looks pretty similar to yours at the start. I, too, have been redoing furniture and building small wood pieces for years, so... yeah, it gets cluttered. Add in stuff shoved in every time we have a hurricane watch that doesn't all make it back out afterwards. It's on my list to clear it out and get it organized after I finish the bedroom remodel and before that lovely humid, coastal Georgia heat sets in. Lol Great job!

😂I needed to see this. Dean’s commercial did it! 100% laughter. I love the channel but this is my favorite video! Thank you both for sharing great content. I love watching it because I learn and laugh the entire time. I think you guys are awesome!

dont feel embarrassed guys, I recently helped my grandfather empty his garage . Im 28 now and ive never seen the inside of it. It took a full month of emptying /cleaning /sales/ organizing/dump runs. Glad you guys can have a additonal great space to work in :)

This was like watching a movie' I laughed, I screamed at the possum with Andrea and I was so proud that it finally got done!

Head donk wins 😂 it may have been embarrassing for you Andrea, but thoroughly entertaining and loved how realistic it was (1 year later)- life happens! And y’all have accomplished so much in the past year, something was bound to get neglected. Glad it was just the garage! 🙃

I love the honesty that it had been a year!

The possum! My dog was on our patio one evening and something got her attention, so I walked around and behind a chair was a possum. I screamed as loud as Andrea! 🤣 I also used a broom to prod it out of my backyard!

That “one year later” was like is this for real? 🧐😳🤔and it was for real 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂Gosh I wish my husband was on board with getting our garage organized and cleaned out! Pray for me🙏🏼! I’m super inspired by your video thanks for the transparency 🥰

Be sure to leave your worktable empty at the end of every workday. I've made the mistake of using my worktable to store things on the top, then things get outta control again. Thanks for sharing! I loved the opossum!

Probably one of my most relatable videos! The garage clean out, "year 2". We remodeled a a hoarder house and brought a bunch of stuff home (mistake) to save in our garage. At the end, we too found an animal had moved in for the summer. A SKUNK! He was dining on dog food and sleeping in a box full of polar fleece material. He was very sad to move out also. Good job! It's endless. See you in 2024!

Oh man! Been there! Done that! Watching you guys try to manage a home, job and family reminds me of my husband and I when we were younger. The garage was always the bane of my existence!

Great job on the garage. Seems like you will be back there again next year. I sympathize with Andrea and her reaction to the possum. I had a similar encounter. I stepped out on my deck with my morning cup of coffee, sat down and felt something furry under the table. I saw the possum and screamed, so did the possum. I don’t know who was more scared it kept screeching. I ran inside and it took ofg

That was a big job. Feels great to be organized I bet.😊

to answer the final question from my point of view: Definitly the head-bonk. Sound is so so good.

My son and I just cleaned our garage two weeks ago. It was almost as bad. No possums though. Schedule a garage refresh once a month and any extra time you don’t need to clean you get to spend doing something fun. Take at least a three day break after each project for something rejuvenating. You are in this for the marathon. Treat your employees well and they will stay forever. Hire a few things done that drain you as a gift to each other. Thank you for sharing the fun.

I’ve been binge watching your videos the past few days and I keep looking at the garage thinking “ah yes… that’s a worker’s garage” 😂 and now you’re cleaning it lol

Thanks, Andrea for your Oscar worthy performance. Sorry, Dean, you are great, too - but Andrea is the star - you are the outstanding supporting actor. But what a team!!

How relatable is it when the garage shot said “one year later”? 😂 I wanted to cry and laugh simultaneously.

Great job! So happy you shared your struggle! I hope you are proud of yourselves!

Definitely Andrea screaming. The head bonk, I just can't take it. Poor Dean's head!!! But the screaming and animal is hilarious.

Voting for the possum scream! The head thunk makes me queasy cause that could have been a serious injury!

By far the best video I’ve seen!!! Dean and Andrea you two have an amazing team work ❤ thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your videos:)

You guys are awesome! With all your building skills, I think you need better solution for the overhead storage. Getting up in the rafters starts very quickly to be very difficult. There are many options…😉

Thanks for being vulnerable with us and showing us your garage transformation. Cool!

This is a great outcome! I hate organizing things that have been stacked on top of each other for years. But what treasures and memory provocations can be found. Oh, Yeah, that's where I put that.

For sure it was Dean falling and hitting his head (I’m glad he wasn’t hurt…..badly). I’m actually surprised he doesn’t do so more often. Love watching your videos, I know I’m always going to have a laugh!

Andrea I think you scared the bejeezus out of that poor opossum.🤣

I definitely want a 2024 garage update! 😂 And I call a solid tie between the head bonk and the possum scream! 😂😂

People would say I'm sad for watching someone clear out there garage and then organise it. Love it, very relaxing. Makes me want to go and clean out my sheds lol😅 PS your garage is as big as my bungalow, well almost 😅 I also love the possum one best, Watching dean's head hit that wood is horrendous, makes me feel eeek

Even with good systems in place, you still have to do a mini clean out each year to keep it possum-free! At least run the blower to get out all the cobwebs and leaves. Loved this video!

You can buy seals for the bottom of garage doors so the dirt and leaves don’t blow in.

What an ADVENTURE! You caught me intrigued, laughing, screaming, laughing, wanting to help, but seeing you doing a fantastic job(s) of cleaning your garage!! I almost missed it as I thought it was someone else's channel. Surely DIY Wife wouldn't allow that mess to happen, and happen again??!! Two posts on a single day; what a treat for me!

I'm excited to see you tackle this project. It's long over due considering ALL the renovations, builds, remodels, etc. that you all do. This garage is better utilized as a work shop and place to store materials and equipment. It's a good sized garage. Now I'll watch the video! Looks good!
