I have realized the lighting issue. I was thinking about getting a shop light to move closer to the back wall anyway, so I got one today while I was out getting more supplies. Phase 1 of the garage is done! The paint on the walls is up and completely cut in. I had to tape and paint the joint...

I have made some tangible progress in the past few days. I did the final routing of my garage door opener wiring. I also picked my shade of gray and bought the paint, and I found some fluorescent fixtures and outlets and switches that met my needs. Nice and neat wiring. You can also see the...

Another post with no progress, but I have pictures. I haven't had a day off in a while, so we have been spending a few hours each day getting our outdoor projects done. We killed and dug out all of the weeds in the front flower bed, laid down a membrane, and filled it in with rock. We will be...

Well I have finalized my plan of action through the fall. I have gotten the track system up and hanging everything I wanted it to. Next step is to start patching the billion holes in the wall, pick a shade of gray and hopefully paint in a couple of weeks. We have 3 or 4 other small projects to...

Small progress update. While at the hardware store looking at things for other projects around the house, we looked at the Rubbermaid FastTrack system and liked it so much we went ahead and got it. It seems slightly counterproductive to put this up on the wall before we paint, but I wanted to...

I'm not too worried about water. Only one side of the garage will have baseboards touching the floor. I plan on using an MDF type baseboard that I'll paint before putting up. The hooks are from lowes I believe. I think they are their blue hawk brand. It is the perfect amount of space. Even...

I feel ya. Unfortunately epoxy and tiled floors are out of the budget. I will check in a week or so with my supervisor about the possibility of borrowing a floor buffer. Stripping and waxing the floor is about as much as I will be able to do. I did measure the foundation yesterday. Looks like...

An update but not an update. With some input from you guys I have laid out some plans for the garage. I won't be able to do it all at once, which bums me out. I would like to finish phase 1 this spring/summer and then finish up in the fall. We have other projects around the house that need...

The garage is roughly 21.5 feet wide and 23 feet from the door to the back wall. I would like to keep the side walls as clear as possible, except for brooms and small hanging stuff. Any cabinetry or shelving will go on the back wall.

I am in Camdenton.

Photos are re-hosted, and most are replaced. Hi everybody. This will be the thread chronicling my attempts to further organize and streamline my garage. I have more ideas than funds at this point, but I thought I would share what I have to work with. I have also been told by the "boss" that...

I've been a lurker around here for a little while, and I finally decided to join. I'll post an overview picture of the garage, but I will put more detail in my own gallery. Looking forward to learning a thing or two.
