Hmm...I am tempted to join your bet. But, we did a big cleaning of the garage a couple of years ago. At that time we could barely walk through one small path. Now,if we move the work out equipment around, we can fit one small suv in there.
I like what you did about putting the cds in a binder. I, though, can't do it!! I love having it all together. I do have a book for my photo cds, though. I also put all of my cds on Itunes {crap, did I ever find that box???} and I got rid of all of my duplicate VHS/DVDs. {although for some reason I have two 'Snow Dogs'}.
I am trying to switch from VHS to DVD for my Disney collection. I am a bit pissed right now as my 'Mr. Toad' movie disappeared. So, yeah, while I love to have my things around to enjoy {and you are so right, if I have them out they need to be dusted and look good, not just 'out'} I am going to put them in a less accessible place for 'borrowing'.
This is wonderful for the cleaner and the ones who are lucky to get the no longer wanted items.
And, nope, I don't want anyone to help me. Eventually I'll get it done.
