But finally we finished. And here it is:
A checkered peg board above a lovely green tool bench. We even painted the poles in the garage.

I had a twelve foot long tool bench built. Big enough for any project.

Look how neatly the tools are hung now!!

And the tool caddies fit neatly under the tool bench.

And jars full of nails, screws, nuts and bolts.

All the sporting goods neatly hung

And even the coolers now have a home.

But most importantly, I can fit the car now in the garage.

Everything is neatly in place. I love it.
But in case I have a great big head... let me remind you where we started.


Yikes...
SHUTTTTT UPPPPPPP!!!!
