I know this has been asked 1000 times and I apologize I am just not seeing by searching what I am looking for. I have a 2.5 car garage in Florida. I am moving back after being gone 1.5 years and it is empty. I have some items I am bringing back for storage, but I am looking to build the following and am looking for ideas on what you all have done.

I want to make table 6 foot long that on top the wife can have bins for laundry on top, underneath there would be storage for items from detergent, to basic items in the 14-18 inch height range. I would like to roll it out of the way for cleaning and maybe even a rack above to hang dry clothes for her, not sure yet on that one.
I am also looking for a wall shelving system that can be as long as 15 feet if need be, but ideally I will go 10 feet. I would like to be able to store rubber maid totes on the top and middle shelves and be able to store car items on the bottom like jack stands, large jack ect…

Lastly I would like to build a mobile cart for auto detailing tool and product storage. Something I can roll into the middle or leave in the middle of the garage and have it also be a catch all, Rags, ect…
Thanks for your pics or ideas

Also ideas on how to add outlets or fans to the fronts of all this to circulate the air or add a temporary plug in tool would be great to see what you all have come up with..

You might do better with that cart by purchasing rather than building it. It comes down to you being handy enuf to build and what have you got laying around to use.

If you are handy, you can also build a grid shape cage for all those totes and bins.

Keeping looking. All this stuff IS on this site.

And welcome aboard, dark!

For the roll about base cabinet.

Readily and easily available are small moving dollies.

Purchase a pre cut section of laminate counter top at the big box HC store
Purchase the length of cabinets that will fit under the section of top, 2 36" cabs under a 6 foot section of top 2 24" cabs and a 36 under a 7 foot section. put the two dollies one under each end cab, space plywood or appropriate filler material under there to get the wheels just a bit out from under the cabs. Screw the cabs together.

For the mobile cart you can easily and inexpensively purchase a lot of different premade carts.
