Master of My Garage

Let me show you how you can store more useless stuff in the currently unused overhead space in your garage. I got his idea from my brother who got it from a friend of his who got it from an unknown source. I assume it's not a new idea but it's new to me.

What a waste of space







Find the joists and lag bolt in 2x4 runners spaced apart so that your totes just fit between them. You may need to stack a couple of them depending on the handle thickness of the plastic totes you plan to use. I used two, and drilled about half way through one of them so I didn't need a super long lag bolt.









Cut some plywood strips so they extend beyond the 2x4's by about 1.5" (depends on length of tote handle) and screw them into the 2x4's.









Fill your totes and hang them by the handles from the plywood.












I left space between every two totes so that I can remove any tote without moving another.
Label the underside of the tote for easy reference from the ground.

Disclaimer: Do not use for storage of unused free weights, large bags of lawn fertilizer or any thing else you wouldn't want dropped on your noodle.

So what have you done to get organized this year?
