How bad is your garage? New Years Resolutions ...

The "future projects" side of my garage. Clean up starts today! How about you guys? What kind of hot rod mess do you have in your garage?

 

I could be right over (with the trailer) to help you clean out that Model A and that bicycle.

 

i just cleaned mine up

 

Mine needs to be cleaned. The mess is the re**** of a handful of 20 minute jobs where tool X,Y and Z is pulled out and thrown on the bench when the job is done. Of course having enough stuff for a 40X60 garage in 2-1/2 car garage doesn't help. I also suffer from some of the "yankee disease" where I think I'll use it someday or need it for a project.

 

it's all about shelving and lots of it.

my shop gets messy with tools for whatever I'm doing and more often than not my workbench has a bunch of junk on it, but overall my shop is clear of clutter in the way taking up floor space.

 

My lady has been on about me cleaning the garages. I cleaned up the garage where the T is stored and put the excess into the garage where she storse her Plymouth...

 

My theory is the more tools you have, the longer you can go before you have to clean your garage and pick them up and start over.

 

Pretty cluttered.

 

every time i clean mine i mess it up again

 

I have 3 I am cleaning up. Garage, shop and barn.
Garage is first. This will take me a while as this is where most of my stuff is. Priority is getting one vehicle pulled out and complete a trade deal so I have the room to put a floor in the second story. This will allow me to organize all my parts and get them out of the way.
Shop is next. Once it warms up I can start spraying the foam insulation to seal it up. Batting on top of that and then put my walls up. Then I can start to organize it and surface mount all my wiring.
Barn is after that. Actually it is just a place to store projects so I doubt it will ever be totally organized. Plus there will be some animals living in it by the end of the year.

 

Well, I'm not really a mess at the moment but ...

I've really just completed my "new garage" and I'm trying to get used to using the different areas I've created. Here's a shot of my work area which is still a work in progress!!!

 

3 projects strewn about on the "parking" side of the shop, and my 87 suburban sitting with no heads on the "working" side. Should have the Suburban on the road by the end of the weekend, then robot season starts (helping the high school kids) so nothing car-like will happen for two months or so.

 

It seems I do really well getting it organized. Then I clear out some ****...then I tear it up again. I spend atleast a day putting tools away and cleaning up my grinding dust.
Then I mop it and it looks perfect...then the dogs screw it up.
My new years resolution will be to elimnate the garage dogs and the clutter.

 

If I clean up, I'll never find anything again.

 

mine need some "organization" i moved in last year & theres a lot of boxes & **** in there. I do have some nice shelves to put up( someday.
But as it stands now when i pull my t bucket out it looks like i drove into a snow bank!!Lol

Mine was getting pretty bad. 31 sedan, 87 Monte SS, 32 truck, 30 roadster and a 73 Triumph Tiger. Yesterday morning it got worse when the new bike showed up. LuckysGal and I are still having differences over weather or not a vintage motorcycle belongs in the house

 

mines spotless.....course thats cause its still at the manufactures warehouse!

 

The old shop...



The current shop...

 

a pic of the "shop side" - also a mess

 

You guys with clean shops are making me look bad.

 

You guys with big garages make me feel even worst!!!

 

I'm going out tomorrow to buy a bunch of square tubing and plate to make a "hitch receiver" on the end of my welding table so I can put my tools in when I need them, like the grinder,shear,bandsaw,etc... then next year I'll make the shelves to put all my **** on.Good luck with your guys garages, Its definately an uphill battle!!.

 

You crack me up,,,yeah,,that's a pigpen alright! HRP

 

Mines a mess as usuall.

 

check my website for my garage pics....a mess!!!
Wife and I were just talking about cleanup!!!!

 

Dear Sir, I want to live and sleep in your clutter. Very nice pic.

 

Hell, garage? What garage?!! Still doing it driveway style for now.

Funny I just took a drive through the neighborhood and stumbled onto a place that's available one street behind me next door to a buddy that does street rods. It has a nice BIG 2 car garage behind it. Gonna take a look Saturday morning!

 

Me and the boy spent all day thrashing on the shop trying to get it cleaned up. I am never moving. That's all I am gonna say. THat and my back is killing me.

 

I make people show proof of a tet**** shot before entering mine.
