I see it all the time when I go on listing appointments and am even guilty of it myself - cluttered garages. The garage was built as a place to securely house your family vehicles, but many of us have so much stuff that it's been months since our cars have been in the garage. What is all this clutter and why is it occupying our garages? If you're planning to sell your home, the garage should be show ready, just like the rest of your home. It should be clean, organized and show that vehicles actually fit inside. Below is a great article from a friend and Houston area professional organizer, Gayle Goddard a.k.a The Clutter Fairy. http://clutterfairyhouston.com/

October is for Haunted Houses...and Even Scarier Garages

Fall is in the air! In Houston, that means that outside temperatures have finally started to drop from infernal levels to double digits. The Clutter Fairy takes the Texas summer off from working in garages and storage units, postponing those jobs until October. But now that Halloween candy is on the shelves, it's time to tackle those frightful, neglected spaces.

Cleaning out your garage doesn't have to be terrifying.

For the average American household, the garage is where treasures go to die. Once-useful items make their way in stages to the hall closet, the space under a bed, the utility room, and finally to the garage, where they're subjected to extreme heat, humidity, dust, and wildlife. Most of the items in your garage are there because you've postponed the decision to let them go--probably the appropriate next step. (Garage is only one letter away from garbage. Coincidence? I think not!)

Let's kick off the fall with some tips to make faster work of the garage:

Establish your goals. Do you want to park a car inside? Do you need to store gardening or sports equipment? Is there a fleet of bicycles to keep safe? Maybe you need to be able to find the holiday decorations and get to the washing machine again. Decide which functions are the most important objectives of your garage project.

Schedule a date. Disposal of large items is an essential part of most garage jobs. Check the heavy trash schedule for your neighborhood. Charity pick-up is another good option--or you may need both, depending on what you're getting rid of. Pick a work weekend based on when those services are available.

Get everyone involved. It might take a team to tackle the garage. It's always more work than you think, so enlist your spouse, kids, and any other volunteers who can be enticed with pizza and beer. Maybe you can pool labor with a neighbor who needs the same kind of help on another weekend. Don't try to go it alone! You'll save a lot of pain by scheduling the job when help is available. (Even passing strangers will be happy to help. Start a pile of useful-looking stuff by the curb, and a lot of your clutter will wander off on its own.)

Take out the trash. To make a dent in the project in a hurry, start by removing trash: empty boxes, piles of paper, broken furniture, dead electronics, dried-up paint. You can start trash removal before the big work day to help spread the burden on the trash bin over a few pick-up cycles.

Empty the space. When the work day arrives, get your team to empty the garage down to the bare walls. Excavating every last dark corner and groaning shelf will give you a complete picture of the space you have to work with. You want to avoid--at all cost--just moving the mess around, so you need to bring your scary clutter into the light of day--literally.

Try these pointers to get your garage overhaul under way. Or if you still feel like screaming, contact The Clutter Fairy, and we'll tackle the project together. (But please don't wait until next summer to call!)

The Pearland Economic Development Corporation recently reported that Merit Medical Systems has selected a 12 acre site near Shadow Creek Ranch for its new research, development and manufacturing facility. The campus will be located across Kirby from Cardiovascular Systems, which began manufacturing products for treating vascular disease at the new site last fall. The two-story facility will be 118,000 square feet with space for a staff of approximately 220 employees.

“Merit is the second medical manufacturing facility to choose to locate in Pearland, following on the heels of Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.,” said Pearland Mayor Tom Reid. “It has been a long-standing goal of the City to cultivate a broad spectrum of medical related organizations in our community; Merit’s selection of Pearland is a testament to our efforts and willingness to work with businesses interested in investing in our city.”

Merit conducted a multi-state site search and selected Pearland for its new location. The City of Pearland and the PEDC worked to recruit Merit in partnership with the Greater Houston Partnership and Harris County.

“We wanted to be part of a community that was growing,” said Greg Fredde, vice president of government affairs for Merit Medical Systems, Inc. “This is a location that provides Merit employees easy access to the facility with minimal disruptions. Pearland’s investments, infrastructure and retail amenities will also be beneficial to employees.” 

Based in Utah, Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MMSI) develops, manufactures and distributes medical devices used in cardiology, radiology, endoscopy and other procedures.

Excellent article about the NAR's efforts to promote the many benefits of homeownership. If you're a homeowner or ever hope to be one, let your elected officials know your stand. Find your representatives here by using your street address. http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/

Loud and Clear: Homeownership Is Vital in America

Posted By susanne On October 12, 2011 @ 3:56 pm In Consumer News and Advice,Real Estate Information,Real Estate News,Real Estate Trends,Today's Marketplace,Today's Top Story

As America deals with mounting debt and a shaky economic recovery, it’s more important than ever to stand up in your community and the nation’s capital for sustainable, affordable homeownership. That’s why earlier this year, the leadership team at the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) began a multi-city bus tour to promote the benefits of homeownership as part of its Homeownership Matters campaign. As policymakers consider changes to federal government programs and incentives that could dramatically change the nature of homeownership, the bus tour is engaging the American people directly about these important issues.

“NAR is doing all it can to help protect the American Dream of homeownership,” says Pamela Geurds Kabati, NAR’s Vice President of Public Affairs and Consumer Media. “The bus tour provides an opportunity for NAR leaders to connect directly with REALTORS®, consumers, local officials and the media about what’s at stake. Some policymakers and members of the media have suggested that America may be better off as a nation of renters, but through the Homeownership Matters campaign and bus tour, NAR and its members are sending a loud and clear message: homeownership is vital to the American social fabric.”

Just weeks before the start of school, the Pearland ISD Board of Trustees voted for changes in the school dress code. Most noteable changes are that students can wear their polo style shirts untucked and are no longer required (but encouraged) to wear a belt.
