Garage

Many of you are shaking your heads …. you know who you are!

Hey, that’s OK if you really don’t mind having one or two expensive vehicles sit in the elements while your stuff is collecting mold or mice….   And I know that stuff is often collections from your kids, or maybe from your parents. Regardless —- it’s stuff that should be dealt with.

To be fair some of you have garage areas you could eat from….  I’d like to offer a happy balance by utilizing some of the tips in our storage section.  There are some highly creative ways to hang bikes, skis, kayaks, ladders, and all the other odds and ends that have difficulty finding a good home.

If you have a smaller space to begin with you may well have your work cut out for yourself.  With garages, my mom’s mantra of ‘a place for everything…. everything in its place’ surely applies.

If you have even a little space for a bench and vice and to handle some tools and supplies this can enable many kinds of projects that can easily save you a significant amount of cash.

To add a garage or expand an existing one maybe a formidable task, but very doable with a few tools and some willing helping hands. Doing it yourself can generally save about 50% of the cost

On our 100 year plus old farm place I tore down the existing garage and used an old machine shed for many years. After finally getting tired of trudging in mud and snow I approached my son’s shop class. His class got some experience, And I ultimately got a garage. ‘Would I recommend that approach?’ …. not without some strong suggestions!

We’ve got the mentors on hand to help make it a reality. This is a project which will likely get used every single day!

Regardless of your situation … We’re Here to Help!  Cheers!
