Okay, so I just spent 2 hours in a hot garage, sorting things out with mum. The garage is so full, she can barely get her car in. It's now marginally better... But damn, I need a shower now.
Once she has the money (and inclination) to close in the outdoor area, I can move a bunch of my stuff out of the garage and out there. Basically, there's a verandah already, but there's no walls (apart from the fence on one side) to close it in and make a room. So mum's planning on putting some sturdy material stuff there, not bricks or anything though, and then just have a sliding door so we can still get to the back yard.
Until then, roughly 1/4 of the garage clutter is mine. A drum kit, a keyboard and stand, and my old guitar and amp, a box of paperwork, a cabinet with books in it, and a chest of drawers that mum's pretty much claimed as her own now. (Oh, and my 2 bookcases, which will remain in the garage.)
A lot of that will go out in the outdoor room when it's finished. Of course, if I hit it big with these 2 novels I'm trying to self-e-publish, I can buy my own house and not have to worry.
Meanwhile, WIP#2... The current chapter is way long. I'm sort of dreading doing it... I'm certain there are some shorter chapters coming up, but damn... Some pretty big chapters early on.
