Garage Makeover

Nov 25, 2018

Moved into a new home in May 2018. Started my garage makeover project in July 2018 and finished it in November 2018. Used all RYOBI tools during the 4 month period. The garage has two bench areas with slat walls on their back and sides. The larger bench has storage for my Ryobi tools above and below. The smaller bench has my receiver and garbage and recycling containers below. An insulated built-in area for my freezer is next to this bench. There's carpeted storage areas above both benches. Slat walls run from both benches along the garage's sides for storage.
