Our first project of 2016 was to add some shelving to our garage. It's a small 2-car garage, so with our two cars and all of our stuff, we needed better organization in there. We used money we got for Christmas and Russ made the plans on a site called tinkercad. It was so fun to see him come up with the design and then make it a reality! I knew I had a good fix-it man, but his brother Lance is generally the builder. Well, Russ proved with this project that he definitely can be a master builder when he wants to be :)
We actually started the project on New Year's Eve in the afternoon, and worked all the way until 2 or 3am. It was absolutely FREEZING in the garage, and even after being in bed for 20 minutes post finishing, my skin was still cold to the touch! It was not the most pleasant experience, but I love love love having the shelves in our garage. Everything is so much cleaner and better organized! Also, though Russ did all the hard work, I just want to mention that I stayed out there almost all evening just as moral support for a while and as a heavy lifter later haha :)

The workbench and some of the shelving is currently very messy because Russ still has a car to finish fixing up . . . hopefully there will be room for camping gear by the time we buy it!
Also, after getting the shelves up, we just kept up the productivity and within the next day or two we (Russ) had installed a tennis ball for parking, as well as various holder dealios for big tools.
Our garage is currently one of my favorite rooms in the house now :) (That happens every time we finish a room . . . haha!)
I love this!!! So handy and so perfect for the garage! xx
