Pulled out half the junk littering the garage. Removed some really crappy cabinets the previous owner installed. Painted the entire back wall. Moved two workbenches and my toolboxes against the newly painted walls. Decided that about half the stuff I had pulled out of the garage was trash so...

Something to consider is that the existing ceiling was built with an attic ladder hatch that, when closed, is covered by a 2'x4' rectangle of 1/4 inch plywood. There is no way that this could be fire rated. Of course it might have met code requirements 40 years ago, I have no idea on that.
