This is my little garage workshop. As you can see, most of my tools are lined up on the right. It takes me a few minutes to set them in place once I have moved the car out of the second bay. Everything is on wheels, even the work table that I made. Since I have to get the car back in the garage (house rule!), I clean up after every session. I do have the cleanest garage in the neighborhood! Thanks for checking my workshop out!

Ellen,

Nice work area. Looks like you can create all sorts of fun there. Thanks for sharing the pics. FYI, I also maintain my shop in our two car garage. But house rules forbid ever parking a vehicle in it. By the way, I could use some help cleaing it up. Feel free to drop over and provide some supervision any time you are in the area.

I used to be in the same boat until one of our neighbors had a house fire (no one was hurt) that was started by the car in the garage. Since then my wife insists that we don’t park in the garage! I’ve got the whole place to myself.

Hi Ellen, what a nice shop space you have to work in. It looks well organized and, with all the tools being mobile, it is a lot easier to get your car in there. I tried keeping my truck in the shop for a long time but eventually just gave up and now the truck sits outside. It got to be such a hassle moving everything around so that I could squeeze the truck in there along with the tools. Besides, once I finally made the commitment to put the truck outside, it opened up room for more tools!! :)

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed visiting your shop.
