3 Smart Ways To Improve Your Garage

May 1, 2020 by Ashley T

Are you making the most out of your garage space? The answer is probably not but the good news is that you’re not alone. A lot of people don’t understand the full potential that the garage area could bring to their property. But we’re going to show you how to make the most of your garage right now with some smart changes. 

Overhead Racking 

One of the biggest problems with the garage is that it just becomes a space where you put rubbish, junk, or things that you’re not quite ready to get rid of. This means that your garage becomes a jumbled mess and you immediately lose a lot of space. So, the first thing that you need to think about doing is cleaning up the clutter. By taking this step, you can make sure that you have an area that you can actually work with. Decide what needs to go and what can stay. 

What you should be left with is the essential items that you need and the products or equipment that you do want to store in the garage. Now, you need to think about how to store these items the right way. 

Overhead racking is a great choice because it utilizes the space above your head that is often completely forgotten. You’ll find numerous racking options available on Amazon to consider. Some cost more because they can carry a heavy load. Others are cheaper and smaller. It will always depend on the budget that you have and your individual requirements. You do however need to make sure that it is strong and provides the quality you want. Remember, you might be storing your car underneath this. You don’t want it to come crashing down on the roof. 

A New Garage Door

You could also think about getting a new garage door for your property. If you do this, make sure that you consider key elements such as the garage door track. You need to make sure that the new door is going to fit beautifully and that it won’t cause any issues. A big selling point of a new garage door is that you can improve the aesthetic appeal of your home. You can also replace a door that has perhaps seen better days. You might even want to think about investing in some new tech. An electric garage door is a fun idea, particularly when you’ll be able to drive straight in when you get home. 

Floor Covering 

When you buy a property, you’ll find that most don’t have a floor covering in the garage. If that’s the case, then you need to make sure that you are adding one. Otherwise, you can all but guarantee that you will have issues with stains and marks on the floor. As well as looking unsightly when it’s time to sell, it can be a nuisance to you. You can purchase heavy-duty floor covering that looks great and will provide the key practical benefits that you want.

I made a video highlighting my #bulletjournal for I made a video highlighting my #bulletjournal for 2021. All the main pages are done and I have 2 more weeks of January to finish out but I did it! 

The first quote is from the song “Moment” by Victoria Monét. I love the song, listen when you get a chance. 

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjou Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjournal “Books read in 2021” page. But it came out better than I thought it would. 

My soft goal for 2021 is 30 books which I’m pretty sure I can make. My hard goal is 45. Once school ends, I’ll have more time to read and make it through the list I’ve built up. Can’t wait!

I always make it a point to read a certain amount I always make it a point to read a certain amount of books each year but the last 2 or so years, I just haven’t read that many. So, I’m writing down books I plan on reading in 2021 and making sure I follow though. 

Anyone else have an amount of books they want to read in 2021? I’ll have a follow up post with the spread for my “books read in 2021”.

However, with thanksgiving giving me a much needed break from work and school, I hopped on to make the last month of the year.

I have to admit that I’m extremely excited to work on my 2021 #bulletjournal  because I’ll be started in a new book and will have plenty of time to figure out how I want the beginning to look. Be sure to lookout for it!

Don’t judge me: I drove to a parking spot area n Don’t judge me: I drove to a parking spot area near the path so I could avoid walking through our neighborhood. Only because I wanted a change of scenery while I walked today. 

I realized today that walking is great for my mental health. I’ve felt better the past 3 days because I started my day walking,  thinking and listening to music. I feel motivated to get things done.
