Garage - Cluttered/Unclttered?

[angliagt]

I saw a video of Craig Jackson's (Barrett Jackson) multimillion sterile garage,

& the multimillion cars parked in it,& thought that "It's cool,but not COOL".

I love visiting enthusiests with cluttered garages,that have all kinds of cool odds-

& ends in them,rather than a totally organized one,where everything's in it's place.

I'm one of those people who keeps EVERYTHING,but I'm trying to sell off what I

don't want/need (finally),but I still like to look through all of the weird "stuff" every once-

in awhile.

Your thoughts?

Same here. Though I like my tools organized. I love going through everyones crazy garages where stuff is just piled everywhere... but when I need a #2 Phillips or a 3/8th to 1/2in socket extension, I want to find it quickly. If I wasnt living in an apartment, I would be keeping everything I could get my hands on. My girfriend always yells at me for the mess in out little garage and how every week I take over more and more of the living room with car things.

then you would LOVE my garage\carport. the shops full of parts, carport has enough room to kind of walk through, mainly parts, and my projects are in the weather unfortunately.

Aside from four engines, a stack of drivelines, spare parts ... ok it is cluttered.

My shop is like 90' x 30' excluding the "carport" and I still have clutter.

I'm not great at keeping my tools organized but I've gotten better.

I like to keep my garages as organized as possible,, it just makes finding things so much easier..

 

 

 

:lol:

Yep, other's garages cluttered with stuff they don't need that I can use = Good

 

My garage being so cluttered I lose or forget I already have the part I get from other's garage = Bad

 

Tools must be organized so when putting them away I know I got them all and they are not still in the car, house, the grass, etc.

Reminds me of the saying "A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind."

...and a sick mind is a terrible thing to waste

It's nice having a somewhat organized garage to be able to find shit in a timely manner, but at the same time, I would never want our garage to look like a showroom without a spec of dust and nothing lying out of place. That would just feel a little too weird. And it would completely outshine all of our cars :lol:

They only showed his garge right? They didnt show his SHOP, where they do the worlk! Id be willing to bet that his "work" shop is cluttered just like a true enthusiests.

 

 

If he really is an enthusiest.

For the longest time I didn't own a tool box. It was such a pain in the ass to find things when I worked on my rigs. One day I found a craftsman tool box on CL for 50 dollars. I emailed the guy, he said hey I lost the key and its locked. Yours for 20 bucks!... A drill and thirty seconds later it was open. I keep my tools organized. Makes things so much easier, but the top of my tool box is the only exception. That thing is like that fucking catch all for odd/various shit. Sears sells socket holders and wrench holders.. For a cheap price, too.

 

I finally have a carport. I have just enough room to work on my rig, one side at a time. Once one side is done I have to turn it around to work on the other side. I don't like cluttered garage because I like room to work on my stuff or get around without tripping over shit. I can appreciate other peoples garages that are kept up nice, and love digging thru cluttered shit finding cool items/parts.

 

So to keep the clutter down, I bought tote containers and just pile the shit in there. Every time I dig through those totes/storage bins I find shit I forgot I had and its like christmas :D
