My last garage was Ashburn and I only ever had to tidy it up, else it was always pretty spotless. This garage is... well... look at it. I took down some old boards and had to clean up rat shit... but I also found wood paneling from the 60s in its original packaging up there. Now, I feel like I sweep my garage every time the 911 is out of it. As far as stuff, I run a pretty tight ship. Everything has a place and anything new has to replace something else. It helps that the garage barely fits the tiny 911.

Somehow we managed to get to a place where furniture is marketed as luxury, even if it's crap. We bought into it because so few people make furniture any more. We have a lot of old stuff, but everything new was bought off Etsy or direct from the builder. We got a kickass custom coffee table in solid wood with colors we picked for $300. It even came right to our door free. There's A LOT of bullshit on Etsy, but I like to hunt unique/antique furniture like you guys hunt watches. It took me a full two years to find our bar cabinet. It was my E91... lots of buyers after me begged for it after I got in right when it went live. Actually, it was Craigslist... but you get the point.

Nice, alright I don't feel crazy.  I mean we run a really clean ship and I'm going to chalk it up as one of the "inconveniences" of living close to nature 

And yeah I totally get it, I've tried to become more of a "buy once cry once" consumer and will absolutely invest in anything if it's something that we really need, is high quality and we can't find it anywhere else.  I just feel like people don't pick and choose their battles on stuff that in the grand scheme of things is pretty inconsequential, like an end table
