Organizing the Garage - Part 2

Sorry for the delay- lots of exciting stuff going on in the personal life that prevented any progress on the house. (I've got a new sister in law!!). So, now that things are getting a little bit back to normal, it's time to get back to work.

So, we got started on fixing up the garage a couple weeks ago to get the tools out of the basement and make a more functional workspace, more on that here. We just finished it off with a few more steps.

Step 1. Buy a nice cabinet and bench.
So there's no diy here (unless you count loading them up), but sometimes you have to know when to do it yourself and when to just buy something. We found these sturdy-looking components online, ordered them, put them together and loaded them up. Done.

Step 2. Organize the small bits.
Same as above- there's no diy here, we just purchased something and used it. This one took more time to sort out all the tiny pieces.

Step 3. Install a hanger thing for the garden tools.
I prefer to keep the garden tools off the ground, so we grabbed two of these hanging things. Because the cabinet was so nicely organized, it was easy to find the masonry bit to quickly screw into the wall.

and viola! the complete workshop/garden area. 

So, now the garage is a functional workbench and garden area, and the basement is empty and ready to be renovated. Inching closer to getting this renovation started... stay tuned.
