there it sits.

1. Where do I start? Just about everything in it. The garage is where I put stuff

that I'm not using and don't know what to do with. So it just sits there for years because I'm too lazy to sort the stuff out and give it away or throw it away or whatever.

3. Yes, !!!!!! like the extra pieces that you have from Ikea furniture store. Love it, Thank you, Ocelot II

Bought a bunch of cords 15yrs. to work on a shed 100' away from the outlet. Everything now is battery.

[debm55]

10. I don't have a garage

I live in a townhouse/condo and I have a tandem parking space in a covered carport. I do have an outdoor closed in front of the parking space. In their I have a large ice cooler that I haven't used in years but for some reason I always think I'm going to need it when I think of throwing it out so I guess it stays there.

16. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA, That is funny. Thank you very much, LogDog75.

11. My husband is a pack rat. There are too many items to mention.

12. Old paint cans

You have to fill them with kitty litter to soak up any paint and then leave them open beside your trash cans for the garbage service to take them away. But they are so old that they are rusted shut. So, they sit.

Also a pop-up tent that is too complex for me to pop-up. It is destined for garbage day.

13. Thank you , Dear_Prudence. We had a couple of cans like that too.

19. My A-Frame Keyboard Stand

I quit using it in 1988. (Bought an Apex stand.)
I've also got a Marshall amp, but my main amp is a Boogie & since I don't perform anymore I don't need a second amp.
Not sure why I haven't gotten rid of them.

[debm55]

21. HAHAHAHA. Thank you ProfessorGAC. Maybe it is the memories associated with them?

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Probably So

I still have all my keyboard gear & I only use one for recording. But, I haven't shed those either.
I actually play most of my 15 guitars regularly & they also serve as wall art in the rec room.
