Garage or No?
Posted On: 08/16/2008 09:33:38

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.

How come that same tactic doesn't work in reverse? My wife could care less if I started moving her stuff around!

Yeah, that's what I wanted to avoid. So I have to involve him in this, whether he wants to or not.  

Funny comment about the "other" motivators, Lot13. I think I get your drift!

I need my haunt space! And I'm willing to do what it takes for it!

Lot13 hit the nail on the head...so to speak.  Nothing is worse than that ice-water-in-the-chest feeling when my wife starts 'cleaning up' MY garage.

My wife has a knack of 'cleaning up' in such a way that the very things I end up looking for are hidden in a deep, dark place that she just might remember the location of, eventually.
