What do you keep in your garage?

    What do you keep in your garage?

    Watching This Morning whilst waiting for the Sainsbury's man I caught part of an article about garages, and what most people keep in them. Not cars was the overall result!
    If you have garage (or have had one in the past) what do/did you keep in it?

    We are amongst the none car storing garages. We had our drive altered to make space for our cars and a visiting one.
    Our garage is pretty full.
    OH has wall and floor units on most walls, and a long worktop all along the back wall.
    We store tools, paint and brushes, recycling boxes, garden chairs, toys, kids bikes and scooters, cat carrier, tumble dryer, lots of boxes headed eventually for the charity shops, and much more!!
    We also have a small shed which is part of the garage, built on the back but has a separate entrance in the garden. In there we keep lawn mower, strimmer, all garden tools and pots, more toys, sun loungers, props for the washing line, hedgehog and bird food, sack barrow wheels and a freezer!

    We are lucky enough to have a double garage - and it's the bane of my life.

    It is full (and I do mean to the ceiling) of 'stuff'. OH has benches on two sides and shelving on the other, plus wall cupboards over the benches. In one tiny corner is the chest freezer. The middle of the garage is occupied by a kit car he is in the process of building or selling (I'm not sure which) and I'm afraid lots of stuff just gets dumped on top of it. Various things like the leaf blower, hang from the ceiling. It's also home to wellies, a shelf of home-made chutney, jam, empty jars etc, the clothes airer and a small box of emergency groceries I put together in the first lockdown. To be fair, OH usually knows where things are, and he does use the various gadgets, tools etc that he stores in there.

    I would love to be able to put my car in there, especially during the winter.

      My car is in my garage, plus a small freezer. Boxes for paper recycling, various things hang from the wall. A set of metal steps a trolley, my bowls, broom, dustpan and brush. Various cans of paint. A chest of drawers containing tools (can’t open one drawer). Block salt for my water softener, 2 picnic chairs and few few other things. OH lots of spiders webs.

        Plant - I forgot the spiders' webs, and the central heating boiler.

            We are fortunate to have a large double garage. Hubby has the car and quad bike in.
            There is a workbench along the back wall, various gardening tools hanging on one wall.
            A set of ladders on another wall. Also got several shelving units, all full.
            The lawn mower is in there as well.
            A few months ago, i suggested moving things around,to make room for a freezer.
            His reply,how many freezers do you want, you've got the fridge freezer in the kitchen and a freezer in the outhouse.
            I took it as a no then.

            Don't get me started on the shed. There is nothing of mine in there though.
            Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

              I have a garage, my car, bikes etc are in it, plus surplus of DS1! They help with the cost of the garage so it is handy for us all that way. I also have a huge shed, cupboards etc in there but much tidier than it has been. I do sort things out now and again to keep it tidy.

                We had a garage in the big family house before it was sold,the only thing in there of any interest to me was the chest freezer the cars where never garaged but left on the driveway.
                The shed housed all J's decorating stuff his work bench/ladders/garden furniture/cat & dog carrier baskets/tortoise house/scramble bikes for the boys when they where younger/lawn mower.
                I now just have a garden shed soon to be dismantled and replaced by a plastic storage unit for lawn mower and garden stuff which will leave me with a nice sized patio for garden table & chairs just need to get around to doing it.
