How am I supposed to know how many calories I burn when I'm cleaning out the garage?

You can't. You don't have to know.
My opinion of exercise like this is it is a one time deal. I'd consider it a bonus.0 -
But when I go to log my exercise it says the calorie count is required. I could just plug in a number but I have no idea how accurate I would be. It's 104 degrees here this afternoon. I would be tempted to say I burned (and sweated) 1000 calories.0

You can put 1 calorie in. Or you can put more.
Keep in mind sweat isn't a reliable indicator. You sweat more in hot temperatures but it has little effect on calorie burn.
You don't say how long your did it for but 1000 is a whole lot of effort.0 -
It was only 15 minutes. I was being silly about the 1000 calories. I guess I won't worry about it and just put it as 1, it will skew my numbers but may show up as a pleasant surprise later.0

For 15 minutes you're probably looking at 50 calories.0
