Garage Organization

Every man needs to have "their spot". Their one area where they can make it their own, get dirty, work on projects and throw back a cold one with friends if they want. The garage is THAT area for the hubs. While we still have a long way to go to get it perfect, we've made some major progress and are loving all the extra work space!

The garage isn't close to done, but we've made some major progress and are excited with how it's turning out!  After a little bit of organizing, a lot of insulating, dry-walling and bench building we are at this point in our project:

When we started our garage was a mess.  A hot mess.  We had a ton of stuff from our old garage, including stuff that needed to go inside that was just piled up in the middle of the garage.

We knew insulating the garage was a must, so the hubs got to work.

And after insulating, came drywall which makes the garage feel SO much more finished!

And after a few hours the hubs had a work bench built:

He mounted his toolbox to the wall, built another work area and mounted our two cabinets to the wall to allow extra space in the garage.

The cabinets are amazing and we are so happy that we dragged them from our old house, because we are able to store all of our car cleaning materials, vacuums, gardening and grilling items in them.

Yes.  That's a pirate flag.  That's how we roll in this house. Hardy har har!

There is still obviously a list of things that we want to do, and it's just about finding the time:

  • Build a shelf above the work bench
  • Finish mudding the walls 
  • Paint 
  • Epoxy the floors
  • Get better organized
