garage organzation

September 29th, 2005

Last weekend I took some time off to do the things I said I was going to do this summer, none of which I did.

Most of which had something to do with Getting the Garage in Order. Not just for the sake of organization of course. It’s the last vestige of chaos from the chaos years. Full of unfinished and unstarted projects. A resting place for our personal collection of “I’m gonna’s”.

It’s also full of “things that might come in useful someday” and “things I wish I had once when I couldn’t afford it”.

Birthdays are a good marker for getting rid of cruft.

I’ve been collecting exotic wood for over a decade now. And I still don’t own a house to use it in the cabinetry. I’m not even sure I want to buy a house here. I don’t like the sprawling suburban development path that Olympia is careening down. I wonder … if quilting were true to tradition, what would a drunken sailor pattern look like for small towns that turn into suburban strip malls over night?

In any case, the garage…. The goal: to fit my 1954 Jeep Willys truck in there so I can get it in better working order by spring. Actually, I’d like to have it ready for paint by spring, but we’ll see. I had all kinds of aspirations for the now past summer.

So, I’ve been searching online for shop organization ideas, expecting to find a widget or tool, but alas only advertising for organization systems seems to be available.
