A Great Garage!

Has your garage become a storage center for everything but the kitchen sink?  Do you have a hard time finding things?  Are you tripping over everything?  
An organized garage can be a great space for storing the extras and tackling outdoor projects.  Here’s how to get started:
- Keep similar items together in designated areas; sports equipment, gardening tools, power tools, etc.
- A workbench, with drawers and cupboards, gives a work surface and stores tools and supplies.  An island workbench on wheels gives a movable work surface, with storage underneath.
- Install shelving up high or above the garage door to hold seasonal, or rarely used items.  These can hang from the rafters, or be mounted to the wall.
- Cabinets with doors will make the space look neater. These can be short to hold a large power tool on top, or tall to store long items.  Old fashioned lockers give a neat look to a garage.
- Floor cleanup is quicker when items are hung up or placed on shelves.  Specialty hooks are available for hard to hang items like sports equipment and gardening tools.
