I'm getting kind of nervous. Last year, my first year setting up a haunt, I set up a big tent in the front yard and had a 2-room haunt in that.
Since we had such a good response, I wanted to expand to our 2 car garage this year. Problem is, it's fairly full of my husband's woodworking (and other) garbage. Lots of wood, his Shopsmith, the lawn mower, bikes we never ride, etc. I am pretty sure that I could clean it out and reorganize stuff so that the haunt could be in the garage (without the cars of course, haven't been able to get my car in the garage since May!), but I need my husband's help and input as to where to put his junk so he will be able to find it again.
However, he is showing no inclination to clean the garage. I would have to revamp may plans rather drastically if I have to use the tent again. I don't want to antagonize him, especially since I have prevailed upon him to help me with various projects and will need his help with the haunt, whether it is in the tent or the garage. How can I motivate him to let me use the garage? It will be a bit of work.

All it takes to get HIM out there is knowing that *I* am out there moving his stuff around. lol That will bring him right out in a hurry. Once I get him there and get the lecture about "what do you think you're doing with that!? I need that THERE!" and I very casually comment that it's time to get it ready for this shindig so I thought I'd just move it around a little, you know, just to help you out honey. That will get him moving in a hurry at my house cause he's really very very scared of just what I'll do with his stuff and where I'll put it! 
LOL LOL
