Todd and Claire West want to free up some space in their garage so it can look nice and be more efficient. In addition, Todd plans to use the space to park a classic car he’s been working on.

First, we removed items from the garage, storing some in the shed and donating or giving away any items the Wests didn’t plan on keeping.

Not sure what to do with some of your extra stuff, but just know you want to get rid of it?

Create a sidewalk marketplace for it — and mark everything ‘free!’

That’s a surefire way to get it out of your house and free up storage. And that worked like a charm for Todd and Claire.
