The Finish Line!

Okay, I can say that this project is done. Well, done enough. I’m about two weeks over schedule, but we persevered and I think its close enough. Its really a project with no end, I will always be adding and subtracting as we work, to make it work best for us. But the basic structure is there now. And in a pinch, we’ll be able to get at least two cars into the garage.

DSCN2605I have some ideas for the other side of this garage… I want to move out some of the “stuff” and then reorganize the trash and lumber barrels along with the standard trash can and recycle tubs. I’m planning on buying a new table saw, as the one we have has a guide that can’t seem to stay tight, subsequently, you can’t cut a straight line. And once we get rid of the existing one, I will have the room on that wall that we need.

DSCN2609Look at that… its a whole empty wall!! That is just too inviting. Ha!

Everything is so nice and clean right now. I love it. But I suspect it won’t last long when we dive head first back into projects.

DSCN2602I actually changed out the shelving on the end, again to take advantage of the height. Scored the cabinets off CraigsList for $15!

DSCN2604Did some organizing and cleaning, like yesterday’s post said, we set out a ton of stuff on the curb yesterday and it was gone in less than an hour!

DSCN2600Another photo of the organization, lots of open space for more stuff. I am really happy with the paint station, I expect to utilize this often. DSCN2608This is the emptiest that I think I’ve ever seen the garage. From the day that the movers backed up to the garage, this space has been cluttered and unorganized. And it is so funny, considering just how much time I spend out there an how much work I’ve done here.

 

DSCN2610Here is a shot of the garage with one car… just a few things have to be moved and a second car could fit easily. Now I will just have to work on the other side! Ha!

At least I have it narrowed down to a manageable few projects. At least for now. 🙂

Well, now that I feel like I accomplished something, I am going to post this and then going to enjoy the last few hours of weekend. And then its back to work. Some day I am actually going to relax on the weekend. Ha! Who am I kidding? If I don’t have at least three times more to do than I have time, I get worried and start looking for more. OCD or ADD or something.

And speaking of, I haven’t check CraigsList in a few hours…
