Welcome. I like the use of skylights in the garage.

I like the door on the side of the main garage door. Don't see many like that.

Nice storage. I did the same thing. I may have done a little overkill but since my trusses were not designed for an attic floor I added some bracing. I couldn't really tell if yours were or not.
By tying the 1 x 4 into the top I created a roof truss. The 2 x 4 tied the trusses together and also gave me a back stop so I wouldn't push stuff off the edge by mistake. I put the 2 x 4 on top of the plywood and ran screws into it from the bottom.
I added the optional 2 x 4's where I thought I'd put anything real heavy.
Right now I've got a lot of engine, suspension and interior parts stored up top.

Just a suggestion but you might want to add some braces.

good tip.. I will add some 2x4s so that parts dont go flying through the sheetrock.
