Hi Everyone,
I’ve been admiring all of your garages and getting inspiration and figured I’d start a thread of my own. It won’t be anywhere near as extravagant as some but hopefully I’ll make progress. Never enough time in a day to get what I want accomplished. Between numerous expensive/time consuming hobbies it’s also hard to find time to get work done on my place.
So I bought this house and moved in September of 2014. I would have liked a bigger garage but I figure it’s a good start as a first house. It was great coming to a real garage, the house I rented before just had a big work area but no large opening, I had to wheel my motorcycles in through a regular door.
The garage I got now is what they call a 2 car…what I consider a very tight 2 car. Basically you can only park 2 cars in there if you hardly have anything else. Not my case.
Here’s the old place I rented. It was a nice large space and great for working on motorcycles, but I could not pull a car in.
And here’s where I recently moved into before all the **** was piled up in there!
Unfortunately the ceilings are pretty low, and I have to deal with the furnace and water heater but oh well, could be worse right?
And here comes the junk!
As you can see, the back portion of the garage was bare studs. I threw some insulation batts up in the gaps for now to help hold some heat in.
Had some cheap shelving units we decided we weren’t going to use in the house so I made them into two parts, cut some French cleats, and mounted them on the wall.
You can see them in the upper center and upper right here.
I also added some bike hooks to get those off the ground and a shelf above my toolbox for all my motorcycle helmets. I added some hooks underneath to hang my gloves.

. It's tough to keep that all up right? You're not into climbing?
