I'll come help you in the Spring. We'll play a little game. You'll pretend you hired me for Spring cleanup. I'll show up with a pick up truck and clean up all the **** you don't need under the pretext that I completely misunderstood your directions.
If your wife calls me and starts yelling, I can take the heat.

Cost of living in the city..
And most of you guys have nice garages, just a little cleaning and organizing will do!

This is a dream thread for organizing stores... at the same time, maybe since I live in CA, I have a different perspective as we have earthquakes.

Right, I have stuff (bikes) in my Garage that I fasten to the wall or ceiling so it won't land on the 991 in a quake!

I guess it really all depends on the magnitude but I was referring to the other garages with heavy items way up top. I'm guilty too but do what I can. I've strapped my shelving to walls and minimize placing heavy items high up.

Maybe the "winner" of this thread could be eligible for a free garage makeover. I still have yet to submit, but should get to it soon. I was going to clean it up just a little to save myself some embarrassment but I think I'll just leave it as is since that's the way it's been for about 8 years now. I think I have some fall foliage in there... from 6 falls ago!

No cheating, Rambler! Post "as is" or bust!!

I've been thinking about an award for this but I'm certain that the best is yet to come.

Willing to lend a hand for a local "make over" but cross country could be tough!

Maybe a gas card or something? After all, us garage slobs care about driving not maintaining our spaces.

For all others, I'm sure LexVan has a 1/3 bottle of Zaino or something else to send you!

I'm holding you in contempt of this thread!!!!!

And you need to waive the American flag, not keep it rolled up in the corner. Too many idiots are burning it nowadays so let it rip!

Do explain the squash, green gloves and scissors when you get a chance!

They are used for a ritual that occurs every full moon (sometimes having mixed German cars in your garage requires you to outcast the demons), you don't want the details, some things are better left 'unsaid'.

The front part of the garage is "Santa's Workshop." Mrs. Leader takes over that part for the month of December...thus, the green gloves and scissors. Usually, the Club Coupe parks under the PORSCHE flag with the X1 behind it.

Crap, do you just back the 911 in until you hit the wall or what?

LOVE the spotter mirror setup.
