New guy with a messy garage/shop intro

[Steve Firebird]

Hello my name is Steve I admire the shops I see here and really need to get mine back in order ASAP. I have a 32 X 48 barn that I rebuilt into a nice little shop a few years ago. I have been buying tools and rebuilding my beloved Firebirds for years but in the last few years my shop has become an embarrassment. The shop is a mess and I just don’t really know where to start. I own my own business and don’t have a lot of free time so I have been lazy at keeping stuff organized and now I don’t even want anyone to come into the shop. My car is almost finished and I have other project waiting but have vowed not to start the next one until the shop is organized and clean. I will be scouring this site for ideas and tips on how to get my act together. Steve

"We" don't?? Tell that to the boys when the subject of lifts comes up!! Of course, that's good-natured ribbing....

Looking forward to the pics - welcome aboard!

Granted... but we can judge after we get to see some pics.

Welcome fellow bird lover. Lets see some pics man, there are some almost disasters here already (like mine) so dont worry. If your wanting to clean it up then maybe someone will give you a good idea.

Hey, every garage started with a hole in the ground,
You just keep working at improving it.
Let see some pics, someone may have some ideas for you.
Personally, if it doesn't get messy once in a while your not using it enough.

Thanks for the great welcome. I have some pictures I just took to post.
The Firebirds are 1) on the lift 1968 2) under the lift 1997 TA
I have semi trailer for storage also with a 1969 firebird that I want to start next...after the shop is better organized.
Keep in mind these pictures are after I spent 8 hours on Sunday hauling junk out and moving parts into the storage trailer.

That's a great space and it looks like you got a great start at getting it less messy.
what's up with the silo? It looks like you could remove the upper sections and make a great hot tub.

All hail to the messy garage owners!
