Garage organization 101
Today we have a "Guest Blogger," Rick Scully from NuvoGarage. In the spirit of spring cleaning, Rick is going to talk to us about a topic near and dear to my heart: garage organization. Take it away Rick!"My garage is a mess. I’d like to tidy it up but I just don’t know where or how to get started"

- Ah …this is a problem that faces many home owners as they begin to think about the annual spring cleanup. It’s a perfect time then, for a brief discussion about how to take control of your garage space and make it a safe, practical, tidy and clean environment in which to store and organize the many things required to maintain your home and garden.
The most difficult task is one that actually requires no “physical” effort. It’s a “mental” exercise, because you need to decide what you longer need or use. Be ruthless here and avoid the trap that “I may use or need this someday”. Try following these rules:
If it can’t be used, or has no value, toss it.
If you no longer need it, or plan to use it, give it away or sell it.
If you need it and use it, keep it.
- Try and get everything off of the floor and on to the walls or ceiling;
- Organize by season, purpose and occasion;
- Think about how frequently, or when, you use things.
Next year at this time, or perhaps even sooner at the next typical time to clean up (Thanksgiving), think of how much time you’ll be able to dedicate to doing something else. Your garage will have been organized and you’ll have less clutter as you’ll find that once your things have a place, you’ll return them to their space after you use them. Hmmm…more time and less clutter. And, you’ll feel better about your garage, maybe even “garage proud”.

garage organization is more important than many people think. What if there was a fire and the garage was your only escape route. How fast can you get out going through all that clutter. You just may trip and not make it out. Protect the people you love. Don't be lazy and put the people you love at risk. straighten up that garage.
