The painting of the shelves in the garage would be a perfect summer project for your lovely girls! Even if they only did a shelf a day each it would go so fast and they would love it!

Great job, my son just moved in an apartment, this apartment had been empty for four years and never cleaned after the last tenant left!! I’ve been washing walls windows, putting up new blinds, lining cupboards and drawers, declutter his totes filled with so many things he didn’t need, I even shampooed the carpets I worked a full week plus and still not done! I’m 68 and boy am I in pain! What we do for our kids!! I’ve always wanted a Cricut!

Jodi, we have a power washer and I would not recommend it for inside the garage. we use it on the outside of the house and on things like the picnic table, which is that hard plastic type of lifetime table. First of all, at least in my opinion, you would have had a big mess with a power washer and all the water and secondly, it would take a lot of the paint off those shelves and you'd have it all in the water, and you'd have to shop vac it out. That would cause you another headache. I have heard your "life story" a bunch of times and love it each time. It just gives me a nice feeling and a smile when I listen to you talk about your grandchild-soon grandchildren, your children, and I always learn something, from each of your channels. And I knew what you were going to do on your entry mat and I love it Jodi! That is perfect for your home entry area! And I just love that you are REAL! It makes it so much more fun. If you staged things and only showed the end or what is done to "perfection" it wouldn't be real and it wouldn't be at least what I would want to see. I love when you keep it real because that makes it so much more relatable ... since we are all real people. You definitely worked your tail off for sure. OK, as a suggestion, which may help you. What I think would be a fantastic bin type for those shelves, since they're long and open (nothing stopping a bin from going onto the shelf next to it, if you know what I mean), and because the shelves are not very tall, I think especially for the sporting rackets, etc, those under the bed type of bins would be awesome. They're flatter but long and I think they would work nicely in that area. I think you probably know what type of bins I mean. I have a few of them and love them because the lids fold in the middle so you don't have to take the entire lid off, just open one side or the other. OK, as much as I hate suggesting things, I thought that might be a helpful suggestion. I think you did an amazing job Jodi! And give yourself a break because it is a garage and it's going to get "buggy" and dirtier than any other areas of your home for sure so no hurry on painting and really sprucing it up. I think that wipe down (although I know you scrubbed) and a good sweeping and it's perfectly fine for a garage. Those Home Depot garages that they show on TV are so unreal, like we were talking about, keeping it real. There is no way anyone's garage that actually use it, has it that organized and clean and bright like that. Even my husband said there is no way a garage, regardless of how much you clean or paint or put up peg boards, etc would ever stay looking like that. He said one oil change and it would never be the same. LOL. And I think he's right! Have a great rest of your week!!

Hello! New here! I’m Valérie, French Canadian from the province of Québec and also a 40 years old mom of 2 boys who are 12 and 17! Love your channel and your happy vibe! It motivates me to start some decluttering projects I need to get done! Thank you! 😊

I LOVE THIS! especially the talk through and no irritating music played over.

On the shelves, recycle paper grocery bags as shelf liners. They make for a nice, clean shelf and are easy and guilt free to replace. If you wrap them around the front edge, you can use the edge space to label the shelves! Paper bags as shelf liners are fantastic!

What about an under the bed storage container for the tennis rackets? I’m a new subscriber & I have been watching all your cleaning/organizing videos. Your videos are real life which let me see that maybe there’s hope for me yet. Thank you for that! You have a wonderful cheerful personality which would make you a perfect friend! Love how much respect you give your children in letting them make choices instead of forcing them into your choices. ♥️

Those creepy crawlers are your average "attic" spider or "spinning" spider. While they can sometimes get as big as two inches across, their bodies are only as big as a grain of rice or smaller and their legs are very skinny. While they aren't daddy-long-leggers (which don't produce silk or spin webs), both belong to the same arachnid family. Also, while a bit scary, they are completely harmless lol.

Jodi is BACK!!!! Always enjoy hanging out with you🤗Oh I hear you with the crawlers. We have a black widow that just moved in at our front door. So glad my hubby takes care of the crawlers 😂Hope you are having a great week

Hi Jodie! I don't mind you not being an "expert". In fact, the thing I love the most in your channel is how natural you are and how normal is your house. Nothing super fancy, in a Pinterest way, because like you always say, people live in houses and things happens. Regarding your question, I wash my hair every four days and I never use nothing like dry shampoo. Lots of love ❤

Just a suggestion - get a real rugged "outdoor mat" at Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor supply, etc ...... the kind with the rough bristles. That will actually "scrape" the bottom of your shoes/boots. Put that at floor level right at the first step. Then put your new mat on the first step. This will be the "second" mat of defense of tracking stuff into the house, and it will last longer since you have the heavy duty mat that is being used first. Love watching your videos! You inspire me to get my house clean and decluttered - and my house is 10x worse than yours! 🤣

Very nice Jodi you forgot to put OMG on the door mat 🤣 I just decluttered my garage too🥰

WoW what an improvement! You are such a nice person! Maybe a tip (personal experience) Try to leave it empty under the bottom shelves. On the floor it gets dirty faster. Then you can sweep and possibly mop everywhere without having to move stuff around

Something that bothers me is stuff being under shelves. I like being able to sweep under things. Just a thought since you have so many wonderful shelving. Keeping things up off the floor prevents water damage if perhaps rain comes in under the door. Thanks again Jodi for sharing your home cleaning journey. If I keep watching you I may finish what I started months ago!

I use to take a week off in the fall and deep clean my house (wash blinds, curtains, walls, move furniture, etc). But as I get older that is more difficult for me. So now each month I deep clean a room or two so it’s not so overwhelming. By year end I have gotten through the whole house….and then I just start all over at year end. That has really helped me!

I am so obsessed with your garage declutter & organizing videos. :)))))

I treated myself to a power washer around 4 years ago and I love it, I use it loads xx totally worth the money xx

Gret job Jodi! Enjoying your house transformation so so much!! Proud of you from afar!

Do sticky back plastic on your shelves. Easy, plus quicker to keep clean in the future!

You always put a smille on my face. You’re so joyful! I wash my hair once a week. My very curly hair don’t need more.

Wonderful job🪄🤩 How fantastic you are getting sponsored.

Hi, Jodi! Great job on pt2 declutter! Grandaddy long legs, I agree... keep them! Your mat is Sooo you! Impressive declutter of that wall! Bins....put measurements in your search before bins, see if that helps. Tennis 🎾 use an under the bed type that's long enough...unless you have too many? The cedar chest would make an awesome: "hope to move out on my own" chest for the girls. Start filling with basic supplies they'll need for college or first apartment. Makes a huge difference in that initial cash outlay! Great on the recycling stuff.once you do those special recycling, regular recycling and the trash it will feel even BETTER! paint on the shelves... alternative option is spray paint just the tops & front of the shelves for now but it's always up to you. You know those 2 bedside tables, the side table in garage and that chest would make an AWESOME crafters set up when coordinated and arranged properly. Plus it would be totally unique like your daughter!

I can’t believe the space you have on the shelves, it’s absolutely amazing. Ya the bugs are a problem for me too. I always love how you keep it real and do it over a few days. Oh your doormat is brilliant. Take your time on the sentimental stuff because you need energy for that. You really are doing a fantastic job decluttering, cleaning, organising and decorating the house that’s something to be very proud of. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 💪👏👍💐🙏🥳🧽🧹

Looks great Jodi. You could use clear garbage bags for odd shaped items. That will at least keep the dust off of them. I use those in my horse arena for saddle blankets and stuff like that.

OMGOSH!! Fantastic! Hey painting can wait be patient!! You have down a magnificent job! Love your videos! You have me hooked! I’m going backwards catching your past videos!! You are definitely a hard working person! I am like you in many ways. I can not do projects in one day!! Not happening!! I admire people who do but it is not me! Lol!!! Decluttering is sooo hard for me... Ty for sharing your journey with me! It has helped me a lot!

I think you need to make another mat with OMG! Perfect transformation of your garage shelves.

If you want to use bigger regularly available transparent totes, maybe you can cut off parts of the second horizontal shelf and it will make a larger space to fit shelves

The under bed storage totes would work for the tennis rackets. They’ll probably hang over the edge a bit but I think would work

Gorgeous final result on the garage, Jodi! Much love. 💖💖💖

Trust me girl, get a power washer. It is amazing for cleaning your cement garage floor, the driveway, the patio and any outside steps, etc. I would not recommend using them on those wooden shelves....those just need to be cleaned ( like you did ) and sanded, primed, and painted with outdoor paint. You are doing SO dang good with your decluttering and cleaning! I am so proud of you and you are an inspiration for all of us!

Use sticky back plastic on you sheelves. Easy, plus quicker to keep clean in future.

A power washer will change your life!!! They’re soooooo awesome and satisfying lol. I understand your thinking about the shelves and flooding. I probably wouldn’t do it inside the garage. You could remove the shelves and lay them on the ground and power wash them! But for outside projects, a power washer is the way to go for real. I love watching people write messages on their sidewalks with their power washers lol 😂

Power washers are great! I wouldn’t use it like that on the shelves though because you have drywall in the garage and that can’t be power washed or it will mold.

Dear ms dunn, as you were talking about your grandmother's glassware i was reminded of the shelves in your pantry, the rather small ones. Perhaps something could be done that the sentimental items culd be stored there. Just a random thought. Good day.

Jodi...you just crack me up! Love your laugh!

The tennis rackets would fit in a zip up bedding bag. They have them for cheap on Amazon.

Your garage looks terrific! I love you Hello, Hello, Hello doormat. Cleaning my garage is on my to do list for this fall. Thanks for your videos.

Oh Jodi, I love your enthusiasm, nothing needs to be perfect, it just needs to be better, well done lovely lady, fantastic job as always ❤️

Hello, Jodi. I found your channel yesterday and am trying to watch all your videos. I love organization video's so this is perfect! Have a great day.

A little change at a time makes a big difference. Looks good. 👍🏾❤❤❤

Your videos are always so satisfying! Maybe you can try an under the bed storage tote for the tennis rackets?

Hello from Sweden! I have just watched three of your videos and I love them and I love you! I feel so relaxed, and just want to watch more! Thank you! 🤗

Hi Jodi, I came for the decluttering but stayed for the couponing. Thanks for your inspiration. I have been working my way through your videos and started shopping CVS deals. Thank you for all the money you have helped save my family.

Jodi, I bought a power washer from Lowes that is electric. Just hook up your water hose, put soap in the dispenser, plug it in and that's all. It has specific fittings for the end of the wand, for soap, etc. It's small, but it does a good job. My ex took the gasoline powered one when he "ran away from home".:) It would peel the paint off the walls. So since I'm now 70 years old, the small electric one is fine with me. I can keep my garage floors clean, and do the porches, etc. It's light weight and easy to handle. So you might want to start with a small one. Just a thought. I love watching your videos! You are so fun!!

You can buy an inexpensive power washer or they also rent them at places like Sherwin Williams! You may be intimidated to use one but it’s so much fun once you get started, or maybe I’m just weird! Lol. There’s also a product you can buy that you can use to cover the foundation of your garage to make sure it’s water tight. You essentially paint it on and let it dry for a period of time and then you’re good to go!

O.M.G. I luv ur doormat !!!

I have a power washer and love it. Just think of it as a normal hose that has more pressure. You can control the intensity by changing the nozzle and how tightly you pull the trigger. Do not use on drywall. It appears your white shelves are not screwed down to the frame. I think it would be easy to remove them one at a time and take out to the yard and power wash front n back. The concrete floor can be power washed. You will be totally surprised. Pick up a jug of 30 Second cleaner from Home Depot. I fill up a garden sprayer half full and then half water. Spray on wet concrete. Let sit for several minutes. Then power wash. You will so happy! Have you considered moving all the paper goods over to the white shelves. Looks like a better fit. Then all the other stuff would fit bigger bins on the plastic shelves. Seems like you need easier access to paper goods than access to yard balls or tennis rackets. Then you won’t have to keep moving stuff out to get to paper products. Another idea is to put all drinks (water, pop) in the fridge. Since it’s already running the fuller it is the better and gets stuff off the shelves. /Could you top off all the washer fluids in your cars to rid the partial jugs of fluid on the shelves? //. Just some ideas! Congrats! Oh ps, it’s totally ok to remove some of the white shelves if they aren’t working height wise. 😃 //Also was in banking and was downsized during covid. Early retirement. I’m still trying to figure out my new life. 🌷🌸🌷🌸

Looking great. The only thing I would do different would move things from the floor up if you could so it's easy to sweep. But I do clean my garage now monthly.

Love my power washer...totally addictive! You're right-you wouldn't want to use it near drywall, it would soak up the water.

I wanted to come help you. Lol this is my favorite thing to do. Clean!! Maybe I should video myself and watch the transformation too. This is awesome and you just make me happy with your laugh.

I can’t help but to clean to all of your videos!! I love how optimistic and positive your channel is, it’s just what I need for some motivation!!!💕🤍 hope your having a wonderful day

❤️❤️❤️ I clean etc like you do. I do what I can in chunks of time because I get so overwhelmed because of my ocd. Thank you.

That rug is adorable!😍

Have you considered moving the items that are under the water to a higher shelf? That would allow for you to move the recycling under the shelves which would clear off the step and in front of the other door.

Cute mat!! Love the leafy step.😊 You might consider having your garage spray painted when you decide your ready to paint. It will go a lot faster. Your did a fabulous job on that dirty garage. How about using a space bag on those tennis rackets and other things just to keep them clean? So handy. 🤗🤗 Yes! I keep indoor & outdoor brooms too! You betcha, got to have a shower/wash hair after spending time with the bugs!! Eeeek!! 🤗 You might also consider buying a two or three-step ladder where you have something to hold onto - standing on chairs is so unsafe. Don't want you to get hunt. 🤗

Self adhesive paper would be great on the shelves because you could wipe it off easier. I did that because my shelves were like yours. I washed them well like you did, then papered them, they make me 😃 everytime I see them. You did a great job.

I love the way you say, “Hello, Hello, Hello!” And I love your door mat!

Jodi, buy some gloves for your hands and use them when you clean. Once you clean the other shelves on the back side and put everything in its place, I would move near the door what I use the most inside on those first two set of shelves and use the other ones for the extra and overflow. That way it's closer to the door and easier to get to. Good Job :)

Yay im so happy you got a sponsor!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳

You should make a door mat for inside says goodbye .

For decades I did daily washing because I am sensitive to scents. I became disabled and now I only need to wash my hair every 3 or 4 days. 😂 Your garage is looking AMAZING! Way to go!

I am going through my yarn hoard today. Did not realize that I had so much yarn!

You are doing a great job! We have shelf paper in our garage. They are held in place with thumbtacks and easy to clean.

Jodi Dunn GET ER DUN! Lol love watching you from BC, Canada u inspire me. Tomorrow is the day I wash ALL my walls so wish me luck 🙏 ha ha 😂 Take care ❤

I love every video you make, they are so real and I just love your spirit. You are such a wonderful relatable lady. You are awesome. Great transformation, your a hero. Love you

Great job. I have my garage sit up for crafts right now and my yarn .Am a horder in yarn but am starting to finish things so it's still decuttering 🤣 right now am redoing a loveseat I love the older stuff lol see you next time 😀

AMAZING!!! You did an outstanding job on the garage...I wished you lived next door - I think we could have a hoot and a half! Just LOVE your channel and how you show us this is how it really is with a family and life! Thank you so much for the motivation to keep going. When you showed your daughter's cast, my 19 month old grandson broke his leg on Sunday and is in a full cast to his upper thigh. It breaks my heart when I have to see him in it, but it doesn't stop him...OMG he moves just as fast with that thing on then before! We are working on organizing our living room - my husband enjoys collecting DVD's so we found on Amazon DVD wall shelving units and we placed that on one wall in our living room and all the DVD in alphabetical order - what a task but it looks so nice now!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Until next week!!! 😊😊❤

Just found your videos and have really liked them! Will be watching now.Nice to meet you, my name is Ginger.

wow so clean and organized my my jodi and hubby great jog we have to do ours now thanks for the video

Oh Jodi what a awesome job . So, so proud of you. I wish I had a garage, only a shared car port for me. You impress me with all the hard work you have done to your home. Keep it up lady, one day, one area at a time. 😊

I love to watch your videos, and I also love how you tell your stories.. I feel like you are talking to me when you do you jobs... Whenever I see your notifications come up I can not wait to watch... Great job Jodi

Hi Jodi, I was so excited to see the second half of your garage declutter...lol...I'm so proud of you! Love your rug it's so you, it really put a smile on my face. Can I make one suggestion that's really been bothering me. Please, please get a step stool. They sell them at walmart for like 40 dollars. We got one for our sons apt. And it really is helpful. It scares me whenever you use that chair. Thank you for your videos they help me be more accountable to myself to declutter a small space before going to bed. I sleep better at night and wake up happier know I did something productive.

Jodi! Awesome video :) when will you do another finance Friday? I loved seeing your financial progress with finance Friday can’t wait for another video ❤️

Love you're shelving units Jodi

I need to clean outside but I just dreaming what to do first

OMG!! I freaking LOVE the door mat! So grateful this week for KZfaq, I just had to watch several video's on how to replace the belt on my dryer. So I'm a couple of days late to watch my favorite! (YOU)

super! so happy to see part 2 !

Such a big job and you did a awesome job on getting the job done ‼️♥️🥰😍

Family Parties are Back! Yay! How impressed are your family members with all your progress?

Love it! What a good job you’ve done!! The mat is hilarious! You should do an “OMG WELCOME!” For the back door or something 🤣🤣 If you think you’d use a pressure washer, please don’t be intimidated!! Just always wear real shoes/boots when you pressure wash, and you’ll be good! But you’re right to not jump to that for the shelves- pressure washing those shelves would introduce more texture than you would like, and would have made the paint harder later- better to have done the old fashioned scrub down you did! (I wash my hair every day, have to because it gets dirty at work!! It’s not as awful as people say it is!🤪)

U do inspire me soooo much! U should see my garage! Every year my son helps me to clean and declutter it ...but the next year there is more to declutter! I don't know where all this is coming from! I have decluttered and donated and trashed and there is always more...

I love those shelves!

I was about to say make that your garage broom lol i have 2 plungers 1 strong one for the bathroom and 1 for the kitchen because the sink was always stopping up.

Loved the mat!! ❤️😄 I love your channel, Jodi! Something always makes me smile.

Looks so good!!!! Great job!!!!!!

Well you’ve done it! You inspired me to clean the garage! I in turn inspired my husband! We are on the second day. We have made the biggest mess ever! But we will carry on! Thank you I think!

So proud of you friend!

Fabulous mat ha ha. I just love your humour. Well done again Jodi.

Yayyyy!!! A clean and declutter video. Go Jodi!!!

Awesome job my friend! I wash my hair every 3 days too. Unless I've been doing something really dirty. Have a great week.

Wow Jodi. GREAT JOB.

I just love u Jodi! Ur energy is 😍😍😍😍 i love all ur videos!! See u in the next one!

Another great job Jodi!

After falling off a chair when cleaning in the basement, I bought a small step stool. I think you should invest in one so you don't end up like me. Love your videos!!

I just love your personality and your channel! Thank you for making cleaning so joyful💖

This was awesome Jodi...I love your philosophy of better not perfect.

Good work! I love my Cricut Maker that even cuts fabric. That is what I need to organize - my fabric stash. I got some great containers at a yard sale but need to follow your example and get those labels going

Yay top 222 comments. Just subscribed. Happy Thursday.

Love this Video

That Mate is awesome💕💐
