    I started removing any clutter from my side walls which allowed me to put more distance between both of my vehicles for getting in and out. Really helps! Especially when you have a small garage.

    Garage is cleaner than most rooms in my house (which isn't hard). Love how the drill and other tools perfectly clean, mine have paint and other crap on them from using them. Yes I realise this is due to advertising but it does give the feel of "this is how you setup a garage if you never intend on using it"

    I need the entire area where the tools are stored for my Christmas decorations-- I would have put more shelves where the sports gear are hanging --- and lastly, I wonder how long that neat garage will last-- getting family members to put everything back inthe proper place is the problem. Also, someone once recommended taking a sharpie and draw around each tool hanging so you know where it goes or the family member who grabs a tool knows where to put it back

    If you can attach a track system and it goes over an outlet, if you can avoid it, don't put the screw in the stud next to the outlet. The outlet conductors are required by the NEC to be secured to the stud within a short distance of where it enters the outlet box. Placing a mounting screw into that stud has a potential to end up in the side of the stud and could strip and short your electrical feed to the outlet.

    For an unfinished garage, Would you paint the garage before organized it?
    Would you recommend putting epoxy or mats over the floor first?
    Where do you put your car? I didn’t see that covered in the video. it didn’t look like there was space for one, even though car storage is the primary purpose for a garage.

    For all the people complaining about cost.
    1. Pegboard and furring strips are dirt cheap. Arguably, they could have done the garden tool wall with pegboard too (that's what I did)
    2. The big set of shelves (or similar) and broom/yard tool hangers on the sporting goods wall is also cheap. For the ball storage, could have saved some money drilling holes and doing 2 sides with laundry line, saving the more expensive bungies for just one side.
    3. The only really expensive thing was the woodworking wall. And there are cheaper ways to deal with that too, if you show some creativity.
    4. You don't have to bite it all off at once. You could organize sporting goods, then wait a month or two and tackle gardening items, and so on.

As it stands, I have a ton of different size lumber that have either been left over from various projects, or that I have purchased for projects that I still need to complete, and I would like to be able to store it according to size/type, so I can easily access what I need, and know in advance if I may already have something, as opposed to just erroneously purchasing more.
