Love is like cleaning out a garage; you have to move stuff around to put other stuff where the first stuff was. Eventually you purchase a multipurpose storage rail system from Lowes and there's a proper spot for stuff and you're going to keep it clean this time, you just need a few more of the rail things - maybe a couple of the prongs and the one shaped like an S. What is that for? Is it to hold a rake? Nobody knows and nobody has a perfectly clean garage; leaves blow in, stuff doesn't get put away because you're going to use it again in a minute, and you have to keep the offcuts of wood covered in spider webs just in case you decide to build a birdhouse.
