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!

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!!!
