One Drawer at a Time - laundry room update

 I've been doing my process in the laundry room but you can't tell LOL  Oh well.  That is not going to stop me from keeping on going with it. My major problem is where to put stuff.  I have two sets of shelves out in there and my goal is to only have one set when all of this is said and done.  But there are lots of things on the shelves that could potentially go out into the garage.  Unfortunately, the garage is also an area of chaotic organization.  And if I take things out there, I want to put them in a place where they will stay and that I know where there when I need them.  These are things like extension cords (apparently I have a lot of them). And tools and such.  Not that I don't need them inside, but if I can put them out I would like that.


The other issue I am running into is my excess of cleaning products.  You would really think that my house would be much cleaner with all of the products I have.  Most of them Michael bought and there's a lot LOL  I don't want to throw them away if they are still useful, but that's the hard part.  Trying to find a date on these containers is ridiculous.  Most of them have these long sequences of numbers somewhere on them but nothing that even closely resembles a "best if used by" date on them.  I don't want to hold on to them if they are expired but how can I tell otherwise?  With the aerosol cans, I'm going by their condition.  If there's rust on the bottom then yes, they are too old and out they go.  That helps a little but all of these others I have no clue.  I guess I'm going to have to clean a lot more and just use these products to make some space!  

Still, I am going to keep plugging away at the laundry room. It may actually take me longer than the kitchen even though it's only one third the size but it will be worth it!
