    From "DIY to the Rescue"
    episode DTTR-106


    Gloria Webster is a retired computer analyst who longs to spend her days running a landscaping company from her garage. Gloria faces not just one obstacle, but many. Her garage is such a mess, she can't even enter. To give Gloria a good start to achieving her dream, the DIY to the Rescue crew is plans to take on the garage and create an organized, fresh appearance.

    Gardening, Gloria says, kept her "sane" during her years as a computer analyst. These days, she spends her time potting plants under a tree, hoping for an organized space in which to start her business.

    Here are the improvements the crew is planning:


    • The addition of a door and window to add natural light and give Gloria a convenient point of entry from the back.
    • New slatwalls with baskets, hooks and accessories to help Gloria organize all her gear.
    • New sink and potting bench
    • Finishing touches (i.e., storage and additional accessories)

    Before getting started, the crew enlists the help of Gloria's two sister (Gwen and Ellen) to help clean out the garage--a gargantuan task.
