The Garage is Finally Done!!!!

After years of having an out-of-control garage, and the occasional temporary 'shove aside' cleanups, the Scripter garage is 'in-depth' clean for the first time ever. This is a significant step in our remodeling process, as it was the last big step before launching into the real remodeling.

Our garage is really a shop / work area, and not a place to park a car, and that was factored in the final garage layout. Even after giving away or tossing LOTS of stuff, things were saved that apply to maintenance, our hobbies, and the remodeling--but now it is organized so that a needed bolt or electrical connector can be found. We may never need to go to the hardware store again! The space still looks pretty drab and uninviting, but I will add paint when I'm tired of doing other things. The concrete floor is slated for replacement down the road also, as it was a poor job when originally done, and the tree roots I dealt with last summer added to the problems.

Here are some before and after pictures of the garage (warning--some images may be objectionable to some viewers).

Cheers! from Don
