The garage is a cult place for many men. After all, here you can not only store the necessary and not very things for cars, fishing and construction, but also just sit with friends, repairing a car or bicycle, sipping beer with a fish.
A garage is always a mess?
But few men can boast of order in the garage. The storage system in the garage, as a rule, is not given any attention at all. Things get there randomly, usually they are put anywhere, and over the years the room becomes very cluttered. For many, it comes to the fact that there is no place left for a car, so many things are piling up there.
To organize the order, you should create a storage system in the garage. Many people think that this is very simple. After all, there is nothing difficult in throwing away the unnecessary and leaving the necessary. Thousands of men have been promising women for years that they will have order in the garage, but in the end everything stays that way. The peculiarity of men of the Slavic mentality is that not everyone represents the order and organization of the storage system in the garage. For men, this seems like a no-brainer. Howevermany can't handle it for years.
What to do?
To clean up the garage and create your own unique storage system, you should:
- understand what things to store in the garage;
- think about what to get rid of;
- determine the timing of cleaning and decluttering;
- invent a garage storage system.
Only with a conscious approach to putting things in order and a clear visualization of the final result, you can once and for all get rid of the mess in the garage.
Remove unnecessary
To begin with, you should get all the things and objects on the floor in the center of the room. Then they should be carefully sorted out and revised. Old, dilapidated and unnecessary must be mercilessly removed from the garage into the trash. With character traits, when a person cannot say goodbye to unnecessary old things, it is recommended to seek help from relatives or hire a special person. They will be more impartial and will easily throw away unnecessary junk and garbage.
You should also separately collect unnecessary, but good things and items. It can be fishing rods, tools, children's small devices, ropes, buckets and much more. If such items have not been used for more than a year, then you can easily say goodbye to them. This does not mean that they should be thrown away. They can be sold, given to relatives or used for charitable purposes. You should not create storage, albeit good, but unnecessary things in the garage.
Sort and lay out what you need
After cleaning up the junk and giving away good but unused items, the remaining items are sorted. You should define groups of things and put them together, for example, by category:
- Building power tools (grinders, jigsaws, drills, punchers).
- Not an electric tool (hacksaws, levels, tape measures, brushes).
- Building material.
- Work clothes or special equipment (for fishing, hunting).
- Car items (keys, oils, chargers, parts, fuel).
- Wheels.
- Paints (auto enamels, varnishes, paints, aerosols).
- Other items.
The whole room should be visually divided into zones and think about where and in what part it would be better to store this or that group of things.
It will be best if there are things and objects in the garage that are related only to the car and car care. But nothing terrible will happen if a neat tool storage system is created in the garage. In the absence of other utility rooms or workshops, it is permissible to store construction tools and material in garages. However, it should be understood that, for example, storing seams or clothes in a garage where a car is started and a gas pipe is exhausted is not entirely correct.
Creating a storage system
After things and objects have been categorized, you should consider and organize places and containers for storage. In order not to spend a lot and not buy special containers in stores, you can make a systemdo-it-yourself garage storage. To do this, it is recommended to use:
- Big plastic bottles. They can be used to store small items, bolts, nuts, self-tapping screws, screws. In order to better navigate, each flask must be signed with a marker or glued on an inscription. Flasks can be cut to the desired size or cut in a special way, leaving the handles, while retaining the ability to hang the container.
- Hooks on the walls are suitable for organizing a wheel storage system in the garage.
- Homemade wooden crates can be made to size and filled with large items such as power tools or paint supplies
- Cardboard signed boxes make it easy to find small parts.
- Paint buckets are good for storing medium-sized items: hammers, tape measures, hacksaws.
Shelving. You can arrange all the organizers on them according to the categories on the shelves. It is desirable that all inscriptions on boxes, boxes and buckets are readable.
Of course, the containers from the store will give the garage a neater look, but if desired, homemade organizers can be decorated or painted in the same style.
Tips for keeping order
The key after building a garage storage system is maintaining it. To maintain order and ease of cleaning, you should follow simple rules:
- Do not litter - forget the habit of throwing everything unnecessary and superfluous into the garage.
- Clean the room regularly.
- Put in place - return each item to the previously selected shelf.
- Systematize - periodically declutter, remove unnecessary and rebuild the storage system for yourself in accordance with current life tasks (carrying out repairs, painting a car).
It's enough to take some time and get the garage properly organized. Being the owner of a beautiful and practical garage with organized storage is much more pleasant than spending hours looking for things lost in a mess.
