Ricky salutes you!
My brother is an architect, and he used to be one of the approved designers for a community that required everything to be parked in a garage. So, most of the houses had a large building of some sort that matched everything else in the community, was approved by the HOA, that they could park RV's, boats, and anything else they wanted to have on hand.
Zim, this is pushing my buttons! I particularly like the 'plier rack'Let's hope you don't die. Nice work.
I've done some organizing too. This is a small portion.
Zim
Things you hear farmers say that trigger you.lolSwept and organized in the small shed yesterday. Feels good to have things lined up.
Love the bent wood stool.Garage organization. Hung up the zip ties holder I was painting on last week while waiting for my A/C parts to ship.
Big and little, in black and white. Organized, easy to grab what in need, and out of the way off of my bench.
Finished the basement bench stool seat I was sewing on a couple months ago.
I've been wondering what those racks were going to be for. Nifty.
My OCD is killing me though. Need to get rid of the printing on the tubes and the barcodes. Then, add real labels.
The jug cracked.
Thanks for that. Plyer rack is Lisle.
Thanks. I think I just needed a vision to get me to stop whining and start shopping. I did some searching since post that earlier and am finding tons of stuff. Excited to improve the layout.
You need one of these....What did I do in my garage ‘’yesterday”? I swore aaaaaaaaaalot.
Tires and lug nuts came in from Amazon, or as Kay would put it, “Jeffreys Happy Jungle“ lol
All the work on the girls Dart went pretty much as planned, the stainless caps on the stock lug nuts caused virtually every single one of them to get stuck in the socket, half of them I had to use a rubber mallet to hammer the socket on in the first place.
Luckily I planned for them getting stuck, I have one of those locking extensions that allowed me to pull while kind of using the extension in a prying motion. Thanks to the new solid chrome lug nuts this won’t be a problem ever again.
Fixed a little rattle that was driving the girl crazy, it was the cheap Dodge heat shield hitting the exhaust. That stuff‘s about as stiff as generic tin foil folded a few times.
Got the oil drained and the filter removed without spilling a drop, that never happens. So overall the car chores were all going well, again, this never happens. lol
Oh but the oil gods weren’t done with me. Like they say, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.
So when I went to get the new oil out of the cabinet I saw a puddle…..Ya, 5 quarts of oil drained down from the top of 5 shelves. Evvvvverything in that cabinet was now sitting in a puddle of oil, and the oil also drained out of the bottom of the cabinet all over the floor.
Coincidentally I would normally have my oil drain pan under that cabinet, unfortunately I didn’t put it away the last time I used it. That’ll teach me.(probably won’t)
Spent the rest of the day emptying the cabinet, cleaning oil off everything that was in the cabinet, cleaning the cabinet, moving the cabinet so I could clean the floor (luckily I’d put it on wheels, that things heavy)
Took me maybe an hour and a half to do the work on the car, took a good 5 hours to clean up the mess. This time of year, late in the afternoon, the sun beams straight into the garage, so I was hot as hell and covered in oil, yay.
The good news, the extension worked as planned, the new lugnuts were the right size, I had another jug of oil on hand, the girl is happy, and I never even had to turn on the compressor, I had previously gotten an electric impact(worked surprisingly well) essentially for free, it was on sale and I had Advance Auto Parts perks. As for the cleanup, I got a bunch of free zep cleaner a while ago, works great for cleaning up oil.
You’re right, that probably would have worked when they were new.lolYou need one of these....
The humanity! Oh, the humanity!
Got cottonwoods?
That is nice. You maybe could drill a hole in the end of each tube and be able to shake them out one at a time like a toothpick holder.Garage organization. Hung up the zip ties holder I was painting on last week while waiting for my A/C parts to ship.

Nope. Central Florida. The only trees near the outdoor unit are live oaks.
I cant remember what the chemical was, maybe acetone I think. Anyway, what ever chemical it was, the fumes were heavier than air.
Damned good thing you had no ignition sources near the floor!I cant remember what the chemical was, maybe acetone I think. Anyway, what ever chemical it was, the fumes were heavier than air.
When It leaked all the rubber casters in my whole shop disintegrated overnight.
Now mind you it only spilled in one area, but the fumes spread out over the whole shop. One set of casters were at least 20ft away from the spill.
It made me realize why some areas required out buildings to have vents on the walls near the floor.

Man, I still miss Netware and GroupWise. So friggin' reliable. I used to develop apps using Novell Btrieve as the DB system. Got introduced to Btrieve in my first IT job doing retail apps in C. Good times.
That's way nicer than my cheesy solution:
I just cut a slit in the bag they come in--at the head end so I can pull one out at a time. Try pulling them by the tail and they all come out at once.Your "cheesy" solution is probably better than the majority of us here....
Hey--a man's gotta have priorities. Ever paint a Coleman stove? It's work.Well, we know what @Beerhippie's priorities are.
Stained carpet? Meh!
Coleman stove paint! Aaaarrggghhh!!!
"Screen room", not a garage. But, that begs the question: "Who stores oil in a screen room?"
