Do label makers and organizers float your boat?

While we were quarantined over Christmas break, we worked on getting the garage in order. It's been on the to-do list since we moved in 6 months ago and have been working on it bit by bit, but we finally got motivated to do the big stuff. We wanted some beefy shelving to store our Rubbermaid's and other stuff. Greg did some research, made a materials list, and built these shelves himself. They turned out so great!



He used some Christmas money to get his work bench organized and his peg board the way he wanted it. Who knew a pegboard and some hooks could make a guy so happy? We used part of the pegboard to organize the sports equipment and bike helmets. Maybe we're weird, but this sort of thing makes both of us positively giddy! (side note of clarification: garage organization makes Greg giddy, ANY kind of organization has that effect on me.)It's so satisfying to have a place for everything and everything in its place. We still have some work to do (would like to put in a big cabinet next to Greg's work bench), but the majority of it is done, and we can easily fit both cars in the garage. Ahhhh, so nice!
