I really like those gray/silver stripes on the white. Ordered that way or did you do it yourself?Pics on the drive, then goes in the garage!One of our cars stays out but it's a borderline beater.
I am among you that lives outside. Momma gets the garage, and I really like being married.
Similar feeling, but I don't laugh. Rather, I feel sorry for the kids that will probably continue the same hoarding mentality, and do the same crap when adults. We downsized to our current modest house (nice neighborhood), and probably 9 out of 10 houses have their garages full of crap. Maybe 1 or 2 of those left space for 1 car (barely), or some exercise equipment. But the great majority have the entire garage full of crap. And I mean FULL. Ha ha.
When the garage for a floor plan designed in the 1960's isn't wide enough to open both doors on a 2-door car, and you've got stuff in the garage that can't be kept outdoors or in a shed, you don't have much choice. Three roll-around tool boxes, a drill press, some welding equipment, and the benches to work on aren't going outside just to squeeze one car (out of four in the driveway currently) inside. A basement shop wouldn't work for car projects even if my house had a basement.
No, but that would have me asking why there isn't more shop equipment and why the tools aren't being kept near where they're going to be used.
If I took everything out of my garage that wasn't bolted to a wall (ex-kitchen cabinets make pretty good storage units, too) or the upright freezer at the back wall, and you cut that unit off flush with the fourth shelf up, you *might* be able to lay it flat in my garage and shut the door. "Might" isn't a guarantee, either . . . 7.5' x 16'-ish clear space for a car with a 90" ceiling, plus a small original work area off to one side.In your situation I completely understand. Most people’s garages though could be organized to put all the stuff in a fraction of the space. I have built a shelf system the utilizes cheap Walmart bins. A 8x8 shelf and hold 40 bins. I love shelves. Here is one of the ones I built at my shop.
This is the 16x10 version.
Sure - if you're going to use it as a shop from time to time, what's wrong with letting it look a little more like one? Even fairly busy shops can be kept reasonably neat.Is there any pleasing you Norm
Forgot to mention the 4' LED shop lighting, the electric pole saw, various cord reels, and the extension ladder that claim up to 16" off the top of that ceiling height. Even the ceiling is fair game for storing and hanging odds and ends. There's some rifle cases that sit out of the way on top of that ladder, so even when the ladder is idle as a ladder it's still being used.
