    I finally finished cleaning the garage. It's turned into a bomb zone with the tons of overtime this year. I have just tossed things wherever and ran.:mad: So my month long cleaning and organizing project ended today!

    So here is the before and after :smoke:

    I also built a shelf today to clear up some floor space. It turned out really nice ! And yes there is some pallet material in it.

    Nah, mine is a man cave with the Goldwing and tractor parked in there. I'm lucky enough to have a large pole shed that fits both cars, 12 cords of wood and a bunch of other stuff. My garage is climate controlled with entry just off the laundry room. Can go out there and work in a tee shirt anytime.

    Nope she generally stays outta the garage. All my toys are in there so she says it's my spot to do with as I please. Right now winters coming so its gotta fit cars. I HATE SCRAPPING ICE AND SNOW OFF THE CARS ! :p

    Good job on organizing the garage, Pete. I don't think the first two pictures are of the same building at all - are they? Just kidding.. heheh. Our garage has been known by friends and relatives as "the black hole" - stuff disappears into there and is never seen again.

    Know the feeling.
    All summer the shop gets abused & parts of projects & tools scattered to make room for something more urgent.
    Hope to get the last few projects finished up & start the annual fall cleaning so I can park my PU in there thru winter.

    Okay, now you can come over and clean out mine, Pete! Definitely did a good job. Ours got cleaned out a couple or three times and it turns to chit again after a while. Got a VW body hanging from the project car my son started 7 years ago. Now he's married with a son and they own their own house. It should be in his garage!

    Load her up and take it to him if he doesn't want it sell or scrap for cash ;) The funny thing is all the crap in there was mine ! I hate letting people store stuff in my garage because it makes a mess. Some how it always winds up a huge mess anyway :rofl: :lol:

    I clean mine about twice a year. Looks like yours (a bomb went off), then after about 10 hrs, it looks decent, for a few months :)

    Looks good Pete.. :)

    Just cleaned mine out too, it does the same thing. I get busy and starts to look really messy then I spend a day cleaning it out.

    :emb:Mine has chit scattered all over it too. I need to be digging the snow plow out so it will get cleaned that day. There is an 800lb 8' plow in there and I cant see it! And believe me, it will take ALL damm day to get it out and everything else cleaned and organized.
