Plans are to continue this process across the back wall. Then organize my tools that wont fit into the tool box on the peg board.

Should clean up alot of clutter down here and get the shelfs off the wall with the door in it where i Hit my head alot.



Also, I will like having the sink oriented correctly. It was weird the way they installed it when they built the house.



More to come tomorrow.

Looks like your off to a good organizational start. Gotta get the TV and couch! I need a garage myself!

I just seen this sign for sale. Gotta get this.



Yeah, I have to get all the stuff organized before I can buy more, and actually figure out how much space I have prior to buying anything new furniture wise. I am building the bench at the height to sit at like a table.



The bench is strong enough I can stand on it and it doesnt flex an 1/16 of an inch. I measured lol.. I would say its strong.

Just finished putting pegs in the pegboard and loading it down with tools. I will continue my boring saga tomorrow.

Its 2:30AM.. wish I could sleep.

Looks good so far. That stand works pretty nicely. I had one in Blade's bedroom. Space was a commodity and he wanted a tv so I put that on the wall in the corner with that type of bracket. Worked well and was easy to adjust.

I have a bracket just like that for my 37" in my room. I would put an electrical outlet on the bottom of your bench. I have 2 on mine and they come in handy!

Im putting one on each stud.

Continueing on the build process. I hung up some tools.

Then I filled all the gaps in the wood with putty. Then sanded it down.

Looks good. I need to do something like this in my basement! Just for some storage and workbench space.

Im trying to get a good place to load ammo, and build model cars in the winter.

Well for loading ammo, don't make the mistake I did. My furnace was in the same area that I was loading ammo. Didn't realize how unsafe that was until the one winter the furnace kicked on while I was weighing out powder! I decided I should move that all out to another area in the basement, lol! I just have a single stage press so each phase of loading, I can only do one thing, ie priming, loading powder, or seating bullet and crimping!

There is nothing in my garage. Just what you seen.

There is an airconditioning/heat vent in the ceiling above that bench though. That wouldn't matter would it?

No... That shouldn't matter at all. Mine was just an old gas furnace that needed replaced. Just didn't want to end up blown up!

looks a little more spacious then when i saw it lol

looking real good scott... good luck with the rest of it...

80% Organized. Now what to do with the rest of this space? I like being able to open the doors completely on the car. Also the boat will be going into storage soon, so the garage will appear even bigger.



Here are some pictures from tonight.
