There has been a little more progress...
Sunday was decent enough to take the other set of shelving outside and sand and paint it. Once it dried I got it installed into the recessed blocking.
This corner area is supposed to be for all the home and construction related supplies rather than having everything upstairs in the garage...

With all of the insulation finished I was able to go through and remove all the excess insulation materials and start getting things organized.
I built a second overhead rack for storing long items and a place to store the 24' extension ladder.

The 3" x 3" tubing on the rack was two 21' lengths that were being thrown away at work...I'll turn them into something useful...

I added a brace to the front of the wood rack that will store the totes...
Started scraping some of the mortar off of the concrete floors and cleaning them up some...

The basement slab set outside for over two years with concrete blocks stored on it so it's not going to clean up great but its only a storage area...

Third picture is before any construction....

Last picture is the front with the brick installed...

Finished cleaning the basement slab and got the concrete stain finished. 2 coats applied and I have enough for a final coat.
I'm going to have to wait for warmer weather to finish this up.

I added 6" to the bottom plywood shelf since the longer totes wanted to hang off the shelf.

I wasn't happy with leaving the foil insulation exposed...it just looked too unfinished...
Priced out plywood...then have to paint it... runaway
Decided to go another route using white Masonite....muuuuch better...
I added recessed blocking in the wall for a an old 3' x 7' door I had as a countertop. Then capped the ends with a 2x4 to keep things from rolling off.
With 24 1/2" deep base cabinets left over from the kitchen I still had a gap behind them so I built shelves that are 7' long for storing trim and roll bar tubing.
Then added 3 wall cabinets above...
The Masonite is the same as the white pegboard...I bought one sheet...cut it down and installed it where I needed to hang tools...

I decided to use an MDF trim that is already primed white at the seams of the Masonite and as a base at the bottom of the wall.
Three different sizes at 1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" wide.
Installed the Masonite at the east wall and added another section of pegboard for construction tools only.
I also started moving tools and supplies out from the basement of the house and upper garage so that everything is organized in one area...
All of the different nails...screws...anchors...shots and pins and such makes for a lot of differing individual fasteners...
I bought 12" wide MDF shelving and created a storage system utilizing storage bins and empty screw containers to infill the area below the upper cabinets...
These are a small metal storage bins and the shelving is set up for two containers high and two containers deep in each row...
The red ones are just plastic but are also set up for two deep...
The best part is I still have a 24" countertop with 12" of storage behind it and plenty of room to tinker with stuff without being too small of a countertop...
It will all be a little less "crowded" once I get the upstairs finished and move the car related stuff upstairs...

The also got panic bar installed on the back door...
Also finished moving some more tools down from the upper garage...
Believe it or not as cold as it has been (mid 20's at night) I have been able to heat this small space with only this tiny heater...

Looks good and definitely brightens things up, but way too organized. Shops are supposed to be messy so you spend half hour every time you are looking for a tool.

Superfreak yours looks organized... whistling
But your right...bad thing is when your doing it for the 1st time you forget where you put things and still get to spend the half hour anyway... shruggy

We had this organizer setting in the basement of the house...not sure where it came from but it turned out to be pretty handy.

I needed something simple to put like items in to get them out of the cabinet drawers and metal bolt bins...It's a little unconventional but worked out pretty well...

Again some of this will get moved upstairs once the working area of the garage is finished but for now everything is organized...

After the post that was in the General Forum regarding garage insurance and taking pictures of tools and possessions I've been trying to document stuff as I go. You just never know...

I had a roll of labels left so I figured I'd label each bin to make everything easier... runaway

I'd suppose you could do the same thing with an old metal filing cabinet... twocents

Not a lot of construction going on but I have been moving parts over from the basement of the house...upper garage and storage for my 65 Coronet and 65 Belvedere II.
It's starting to fill up a little more...
There is a lot of parts condensed into the totes as nearly all of them are completely full.
Top shelf has odd shaped boxes of parts...and I have been trying to take an inventory of what else I need to get or need something nicer than I have...I really thought I had most everything for my 65 Bell II...Not so much...
