My small 2 car

[b_hill_86]

I know some members have done more with less but over the past 6-8 months or so I’ve been able to make my garage a bit more functional and it’s made a huge difference.. I don’t have a good “before” pic but my 460 sq ft garage got some additions recently. I reorganized my cabinets (which were hand-me-downs) and since I renovated my kitchen I managed to save some of my cabinets and counter to put in the garage. It’s nothing fancy but it made a huge difference in the function of the garage.

I also hate rolling up cords and hoses so keen eyes will note my overhead air hose reel along with a 40’ 12/3 extension cord reel. Again, nothing fancy but I love them both. I use them constantly and don’t have to roll anything up! The only extension cord reel is easily detachable from its mount  too which I liked.

Someday I’d like to insulate, fix my cracked and uneven floor and even extend it.

Tell me something...how do you keep so organized?

I think the space is great...out of the weather, smooth floor to work on, a bench.

My small garage at my house doesn't have that functionality yet as it's more like a big giant shed right now

Thanks for the inspiration OP....I to have a "Giant Storage Shed", but I'm renting a storage container, giving up half of the driveway to put it on and then moving everything out, doing the renovation, and hopefully it will actually have a car in it again, and never be a storage shed again.

I think the organized part come from necessity given the limited room I have to work. It does get messy sometimes but I clean up quickly cause if I don’t I run out of room too fast lol.

That would be awesome. I hope to someday extend mine enough to create a separate space for my trans am and “workshop” area and leave the “old” section of the garage solely for my wife’s vehicle and my truck (which currently sits outside)

Your first picture is like a lingerie store without a front window.

How so? Should’ve lost the cover you mean?

I don't get it either, but nice job and a 2 car garage is a luxury around my area... I have a single car garage that barely fits one car, I'm not sure how these houses were build in the 50s with such a small garage.

Cars were a d**n sight smaller then.

Here ya go. More car for 81blackbird and more mess (after my power steering pump and gear replacement) for Nexus

[81Blackbird]

Very nice.  Glad you gave us a peek.  Now the lingerie store has a front window...for those that didn't get it.

Looks nice, cabinets make for some nice storage.

OH yeah, that looks awesome!!!!

I was just commenting to my wife this morning that I need to do something different in next few years so that I have a place to put Ruby when I get her on the road again!

Thanks for sharing; looks nice.  When you don't have a lot of space, you need to examine every area and make sure it is optimized efficiently.  If you have a shed, you can off load items there as well.

I do have a shed thankfully so my lawn mower stays there along with some other garden tools and several boxes of T/A parts and a set of Rally II rims/tires and 7” snowflakes.

I need a shed for the exact same reason and then maybe I'd have have more room in my garage to work on things!
