Operation Organize Garage: Show Me Your Rack

We're going back to the garage to finish a few things up today!

Contain your enthusiasm. 

For those of you that haven't been around for my garage organizations "series" (can I call it that?), let me show you my to-do list.

Build/Buy another shelving unit and maybe put them side-to-side along the back wall. done here

Build a lumber storage rack  read about that here

Figure out bike organization

Create a mud room system along the right wall (check it out here)

Move metal shelving to back wall pics to come!

Create yard tool organization done here

Paint door + trim (a little far fetched, but it's so dirty that I'm thinking a darker color would save my sanity)

Maybe I'll get around to cleaning the floor.... (this one is REALLY far-fetched)

Let's talk bike racks. I showed my inspiration in this post, and have to tell you that I feel kinda lame for taking so long to get this done.

But done it is!

This is a mucho simplified version of what I was picturing (I was hopeful to create two bike racks at an angle to be able to fit both in that space), but I think I often make things more difficult than they need to be.

Wanna see how simple it is?

It's two 2x4s and a few over-the-door hooks.

Let me tell you that this wasn't exactly a first-try success, though.

My first attempt turned out like this.

I made it 6 feet tall the first time around, but that didn't allow for enough room between the bikes (and my first hooks didn't work!). So I just took the tall board off and put a full-length stud in it's place. Sure, I could've probably cut a foot off of it, but... I'm lazy!

And with this, all of the non-far fetched items on my to-do list are checked off!!!!

Tell me about your organizing adventures? Can you get into your garage? Is it perfectly organized with pegboard on every wall surface and nothing on the floor? If it is, I don't wanna hear about it ;-)
