    Spent one entire weekend and several hours on weekdays to reorganize my garage. So happy that I wanted to share..

    Putting a big board on the wall and moving a lot of tools into wall mounted organizers helped a lot.

    Just need to figure out how to create more shelf space when I have to take e.g. fairings off a bike. Maybe I put a flip up board somewhere. Or I just put hooks in the ceiling to hang them on bungee cords. Need to think about it for a bit.

    those bicycle hanging hooks come in handy for all kinds of things.
    those four foot led lights are bright and cheap

    Yes, liking those 4 foot led. You're correct, cheap and bright.

    I bought a few hooks and screwed them into the ceiling. Fairing pieces now hanging. Problem solved.

    You've ruined it.
    Now the wife can see everything you have. No more sneaking new stuff into the garage without her noticing.

    She still doesn't know and doesn't care.
    And that's ok, at least I'm happy and have room to work on stuff again :)

    Believe him. I come to know Saftie enough to know that it's probably true... or at least HE thinks so!

    I am rebuilding an engine at the moment and needed some extra work area. So I added a flip up table. Nice thing is that it just folds away when not needed. Not pretty but does its job.
