Cleaning Garage

[xfactor78]

hey guys,



I`m going away for a week tomorrow and when I`m back I plan on cleaning up the garage. It`s in pretty rough shape. I need some suggestions on what to do. There are cobwebs everywhere, holes in the walls, stained walls, etc etc. I was thinking of renting a powerful power washer and taking everything out and power washing it than painting it. But for the cobwebs, whats the best way to get rid of them? I`m looking forward to having a cobweb free garage. We`re also buying some storage shelving so that would help with some of the mess. I was also thinking of using a vacuum for the cobwebs, but ours doesn`t have a long enough hose. Suggestions are always welcomed. Sorry no pics yet.



Thanks, Brendan

sweet i finally got my camera to work. I was ready to throw my camera out the window... Sorry, was to lazy to get before pics. You guys wouldn`t have imagined though! Anyways here are the pics. Theres normally 2 more cars (matrix + G35) in the garage but they were both in the front so i thought i`d take pics.



Re-organized this shelf (took everything off and wiped it down)

All of this was moved into the middle while I was painting. Took everything off the shelves and put them back on.

:gidiup:Got an idea, made it happen. Under $9 to get galvanized wire, drywall studs, and the hooks. I have plenty of extras so if it doesn`t work I can always try it again.

Let me know what you guys think. You guys actually wouldn`t imagine how bad that garage was before. But all the holes are patched up, spiders stomped on, cobwebs gone, walls painted. Well worth it, i guess because I didn`t pay for supplies. We used outdoor paint so it was about twice as much as indoor paint. LMK!

Looks good...but does your weed whacker leak gas standing like that?

[xfactor78]

not so far...

Not a bad idea on the drying line, but I would be worried about dust settling into it sitting out after a while

It`s amazing how well cabinets help to clean up a shop.

.. I would be worried about dust settling..



I was wondering about dust settling on the MFs/mitt on that open shelf :think: I`d stick `em in another of those RubberMaid rough-totes (or whatever they`re called).



Looks nice and clean though, I bet it`s a lot better than the "before" version :xyxthumbs

Looking great!



I think when I makeover the garage, I`ll make a C&B about it. It needs a LOT of work!!!
