Don't feel bad Dave. I can't seem to keep my garage clean either. Rather than frequent short 'maintenance' cleanings I end up doing monumnetal seasonal cleanings. Just finished one tonight. Spread it out over 4 days. Took a total of 24 hours. Every time I go through this I say "Never again!" but inevitably it starts to slip and before you know it my workbench is a piece of plywood laying on top of a pile of crap laying on top of the real workbench. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I did make some serious improvements this time though. I finished remodeling the kitchen recently and this weekend I put up all the old kitchen cabinets in the garage. Makes a big difference to be able to get most of the junk up off the floor. Like JP said - get some shelves/cabinets. It'll help a bunch.

Well, all I can say is......
"a place for everything,
and everything in it's place" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

When you are in the right mood,
just go for it and clean it all up.....
then keep it that way! You will
actually be more motivated to keep
it clean once you have spent all that time getting
it in order!!!
You can do it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Hey Dave, next time your garage is dirty give me a buzz. I need to get some dirt under my fingernails. Better under mine than yours, since I don't have to stick them into people's mouths.



Unless they ask nice.

Dave,
I have a detached one car garage that isn't cleared out enough to fit my car yet. Up until this afternoon I couldn't walk through it. I bought a car tent so I could store the stuff currently in my garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Once I do get my 914 in the garage, I'll barely be able to open the doors and squeeze my overweight self out of it. Now that I have a Koenig seat I will need to study yoga. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

OK my solution:

1. No working on the car at the house garage.
2. Build a carport/work shop at the in-law's.
3. Buy a separate portable shed for storing large body pieces at the in-laws.
4. Send engine to another member's house for him to rebuild.
5. Spend 15-30 min laying out all tools, hoses, equipment, parts. Includes using a leaf blower to blow the leaves and dust from floor of carport.
6. Spend 30-60 min picking up tools, hoses, equipment, parts.
7. Once every 2 months shop-vac floor and countertops of any dust and small metal shavings.

Primary key to orgainzation, storage,storage,storage. Work bench, cabinets, tool chest and in-law that doesn't want to see the mess when I'm not working on it.

BTW, your garage looks a lot better now.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
