Cars
and Tools can coexist
"I
have to many tools to keep my car in the garage."
I
have one word. ORGANIZE!
There are many options in getting your stuff together. I am always
a proponent of a tool bench. You will then have space for hand
tools (hammers, screw drivers, wrenches) on a pegboard and then
below the workspace you have room to store the large stuff (pressure
washer, shop vac, compressor). Above the pegboard you can have
shelves to house the medium tools (circular saw, drills, air tools).
Then you have all those tools in an area that takes up about
2-3 feet from the wall. They are in one place, so you always go
to one place for those. Shelving is an option. A three or for
tier shelf can free up tons of bulky storage items in the garage.
Lets say that
you have a work bench that is 3 feet deep and 7 feet long and
a shelf system that is about the same dimensions. That is about
147 square feet of storage space that is in a space of 42 square
feet of floor space. That is a huge savings, considering that
the normal minivan takes up about 32 square feet (8' x4'). What
are you going to do with the extra 67 square feet of space? Another
car, a larger project, more tools (yeah!), or a couch and TV.
Just a few
options.
Just
a few thoughts as you are organizing your garage. There are many
more garage articles in our garage
section. There is more specific information in the links at
the beginning of this article. They can guide you where you need
to go.
For more information
look to the GHI related links above for more specific information
and options.
It's
all about the work bench.
If your work bench is not what you need, you will get nothing
done.
A
productive garage, is not a messy one.
There is nothing slowing progress down like a mess, or excessive
storage
