Garage Organization

Garages are meant for cars...however, most of us have many things besides cars in our garages.  Some even have so much stuff that there is no room for a car!

As the weather is starting to get colder, it is a great time to do a little cleaning in the garage - before it gets too cold and it is put off until spring.  This week, take some time to prep for a couple hours of garage cleaning this weekend. 

Consider the following:

(1) Are there specific areas of my garage that I can clean up or clean out in minimal time?
(2) Do I need a waste removal service to get rid of old construction materials or can I just put them out on the curb?
(3) How can I use vertical space?  Do I have a few minutes one night this week to hang up those wall mounted bike racks for the kids' bikes?
(4) Would bins help me to store some items that I don't use regularly?
(5) Could pegboard be used to get some of the tools off the floor or cabinets?

Even if you don't have time to do a full garage cleaning, consider doing a bit before the winter chill sets in.  I know that once its cold out, I hate spending any additional time in the garage than I have to.  If you can make it easier to pull your car in and out, or to locate some of the things you use more regularly, go for it!

I just added a new board to my pinterest with garage organization tips!  Check it out!

Happy Organizing!
