FIX IT RADIO: What’s Lurking in Your Garage? From Mice to Missed Opportunities. (07-12-25)

Is your garage more of a storage locker than a place to park your car? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, John Rush launches a timely deep dive into the cluttered corners of our homes—starting with the garage. Why do we hold onto broken mounts, old paint cans, or spare parts we haven’t touched in years? Could all that “just-in-case” inventory be costing you space, money, and even security? As John and Larry Unger dig deeper, they reveal just how easily clutter can turn into chaos. Are you unknowingly creating the perfect rodent playground? From labeling and dating items to utilizing $5 clear plastic bins and QR-coded storage systems, the episode offers modern tools and clever hacks to keep your space rodent-proof and organized. It’s not just about tidying up—it’s about making your garage functional again. Then comes a jaw-dropping twist: a listener calls in to reveal that mice stashed 25 pounds of cat food inside a drainage tube—right under the noses of the barn cats! The story sparks a bigger conversation with Jeff about how clutter, old tools, and outdated equipment might be less treasure and more trash. Are your corded drills, air nailers, and vintage gear now obsolete in a cordless world? From nostalgic holdouts to cutting-edge upgrades, this episode is part how-to, part reality check—and it just might inspire you to take back your space.
