The garage gets a makeover

As you may know, the giant garage was a pretty big selling point for us. Its technically a two car, since it only has two doors, but I'm pretty sure we could fit four cars in there if we got creative with the parking. Not to mention it has a little workshop area out back. But in the past month or so, our poor garage has been a catch-all for both things we don't know what to do with (porch furniture) and activities we can't do in the house (painting). And since the move-in, its only gotten worse until we were faced with this:

An unorganized jumble of stuff that belongs in the garage, but as of yet has no place or home. Besides the fact that everything was taking up more space that it should, the lack of organization (especially on the tool front) was driving Matt batty. So, tonight, we decided we'd tackle this particular project.

It took probably 4-5 hours, but we got pretty close. Here's an in process shot:

 

And the (almost) final product

The workshop still needs some work, and the plastic sheets got water on them when Matt put the hoses away so they need to dry out before we fold them up, but all in all, I'd say we did a pretty good job.
