Give Your Garage a Facelift This Spring
As winter fades into spring, your garage likely needs a good spring cleaning, or a facelift if we may. Decluttering your garage can seem overwhelming if you don’t have sufficient and appropriate storage.
While you might store some items until next season, equipment like garden, hand, and power tools require ready access. Many things need specific care, while others are awkward, making them difficult to handle and store.
This article will offer some straightforward solutions for storing all that clutter.
Tools
Organizing your tools is essential in making your garage an efficient and enjoyable work environment. Nothing is worse than spending precious time searching for the right tool while working on a project.

Eliminate that tangled-up extension cord and add convenience with a retractable extension cord reel.

Take a break, have a snack, and quench your thirst without walking away from your project by adding a mini fridge to your garage. What could be better than a frosty cold one after several minutes of sanding, cutting, or wrenching?
