Cleaning the Garage

I haven't cleaned the garage completely since I first moved into the house last year. For one thing the previous owners left a lot of stuff. At the time I moved in, they were moving out and I told them to leave the stuff. But, they left much, much more. Seed starter, tiny seeding pots, old fertilizer, seeds, and a water wand. Humongous plant pots left just out of reach on an overhead platform, along with left over insulation, and wood. I also pulled a thing out of the rafters that weighed 30lbs. I don't know what it is. But, it has a cord attached.
Cleaning forced me to decide what is important and what is not. I wasn't going to worry about the neighbors, as I bagged up and tossed out the items their friends left. I wasn't going to worry about the one thing that I toss out is the one thing that I will need. I wasn't going to worry about the spiders crawling all around me...and I am sure on me.
