Lots of amazing garages on here, this is my lil one car at my rental place. It was a mess when I first got here but I'm trying to make the most of it.

That's about it for now, nothing crazy just thought I would introduce myself.

Thanks, looking forward to learning a lot on here.

Thanks for posting, Travis. I had a single stall with a 4' x 8' storage space in my old condo. Looking back, I'm amazed how organized I was given the obvious space limitations. You have just enough room to take awesome care of that car of yours. From the looks of it, you have some excellent organizational skills.

Thanks guys. It's definitely interesting trying to fit everything in the back. I want everything away from the car haha.

I actually just screwed some plywood to the ceiling and it made little cubbyholes in-between the floor joists. Works out well.

The harbor freight tool box works great too, no complaints there.

HaHaHa = how true!

Great job on caring for your space - even if it's a rental. Just feels good to have your sh!t together - doesn't it?

Yea I love it. I just want to do more and more haha. Landlord is pretty good about taking money off of the rent if I am improving the property too.

It's a 6 gal porter cable. I want to say it was like $150 for the compressor, finish nailer, brad nailer and staple gun.

Heading to home depot right now to get stuff to turn my shelf over the reefer into a cabinet with peg board on the outside.

Done for the night.

Here's kinda what I started with, this is after already cleaning out a lot.

Built up the existing bench so my box would fit under it, also braced the bench which made a world of difference.

Cleaned up the walls

Had it like this for a bit but steel shelf was rusty and very wobbly.

Started building my shelf

Shelf complete, I thought I was done here lol.

My attempt at recessing the hinges.

One on.

Two on. Gotta fix that uneven line tho :/

Open.

Handles, this is a weird angle, they are both at the same height.

I turned it into a cabinet so I can put home depots metal pegboard on both of those doors. So my most frequent tools have a home and so I can free up some box space.

And that's it so far. Any recommendations and feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
