Saturday: Let the garage sale begin!

Today I began organizing the space and gathering merch while I planned signage and logistics. It will be set up like an outdoor living room on the front porch, except that the furniture will also be for sale. I have tarps, etc. already on hand to cover anything that needs to be covered. I have work to do out there while I sit the sale. The first batch of clothing is hung and the first batch of linens is folded. It all continues tomorrow. As I unload the van Wednesday I'll store its contents in the waiting out-of-sight containers, some of which will convert to horizontal spaces to lay things out; half the porch-- the narrow section in front of the windows-- will be off-limits storage and the large square section will be the for-sale space.

One of the policies is that it will not draw from any items gotten via our parish thrift shop-- we have plenty of other stuff to sell and the plan always has been that if it came from there, it goes back there when we move out of this house if we do not take it with us.
