Been meaning to do this for like 2 years. Spent most of Saturday putting in pegboard, shelving, and labeling everything. My tools actually have a home now instead of being scattered across 3 different piles. It's sad how happy this makes me but honestly being able to find a socket without digging through a box for 10 minutes is worth it. Pics in comments if anyone wants to steal ideas.
This is the kind of project that feels impossible until you actually start it. Nice work getting it done in one Saturday, that's impressive with three kids running around.
That's awesome man, two years is a long time to put something off. I keep telling myself I need to do this in my garage but seeing your pegboard setup might finally get me moving on it.
Two years of planning finally paid off! A good organized garage is a game changer. What'd you end up storing on the pegboard?
There's something really satisfying about a clean garage. Now comes the real test - keeping it that way with the kids around.
Man I've been saying I need to do this for like three years. You're motivating me to actually pick a Saturday and just go for it.
Two years is about how long the mental block lasts before you finally just rip the band-aid and do it. Props for actually finishing it in a Saturday. Now the trick is keeping it organized - that's the part that's hard for me.
Pegboard and shelving is the way to go. Once you get it organized you'll actually use the garage instead of just using it as a junk storage unit. Did you go with wall-mounted or freestanding shelves?

Finally! An organized garage changes everything about how you function as a dad. Suddenly you can actually find stuff when you need it instead of spending 20 minutes digging through boxes. What made you finally commit to doing it?
