Even with homes that have three-car garages, cars are still parked on the driveway because there is so much clutter in the garage.
The garage isn’t just filled with things belonging in the garage, but everything not fitting in the house. Before the weather gets too hot, get the garage organized.
If the thought of organizing the entire garage is too overwhelming, break it down into manageable areas, such as car maintenance, yard maintenance and home improvement products, including paints and stains. Also organize sports equipment and holiday items, etc. Focus on each area rather than the garage as a whole.
Once each area only contains what you use and what is in good working order, you will be able to make decisions about the best way to store these items. Don’t try to figure out what kind of organizational system you need until you can see what is left.
