Cleaning the Garage




I am definitely not a pack rat. I have no problem throwing things away that I feel are just in the way. I'm sure I've tossed stuff that my wife and Mom wish were packed up in nice boxes so I could show my kids. And although Kerry and I try hard not to get the kids much stuff, we are collecting quite an assortment of stuff.

With 7 bikes in the garage (I have three, everyone else has one) and the typical assortment of tools, lawn equipment, and storage the garage was getting very crowded. And I am committed to keeping both cars in the garage for their protection.

So I got myself a fathers day present and purchased some slatwall organizers from Lowe's called Gladiator Garageworks. Hang this stuff on the walls of your garage and you can get a lot of the clutter up off the floor. Not only does it look better, but it is easier to keep the garage floor clean, which helps keep the house clean.


Here are some after pictures. I have more to install, but this cleaned up a majority of the stuff that was just lying around.
