This is my garage Blush I’m ashamed to say this is after tidying it and a tip run! I see our neighbours and it’s perfect then look at ours! Is yours tidy?

Mine is worse than yours OP.

Ours is the same op I think they naturally become dumping grounds stuff we no longer need or want ends up going to our garage we still have a few tip runs to do ourselves 😬

anotherwinkywinkybumbum · 28/11/2020 10:06

Ours is worse.

HollysBush · 28/11/2020 10:08

😂 laughing at the thought of ours, not yours. Got to fight my way in there in a bit to defrost the freezer.

Ours was knee-deep in utter chaos, then we bolted a load of IKEA Algot shelves to the wall. One weekend's work, very satisfying, total order restored. (Photo not ours, but shows what I'm talking about Grin)

I came on to gloat as we tidied ours up a couple of weeks ago. Sadly our tidied up garage looks very like your ‘messy ‘garage.

Mine is pristine. Grin But only because if I put anything in it there is literally no room for my car

dasey · 28/11/2020 14:16

Sometimes I tidy mine up and look at it proudly, and declare I will never let it get in a mess again. Then the next time I look it's a shit tip.
I often wonder how people without garages manage? Where does all their junk go?

Covidnomore · 28/11/2020 14:18

We park our car in the garage Grin

We have a large garage and one half needs some serious attention - so probably worse than yours. A lot of it should really be should or taken ti charity shop / dump but easier said than done at moment.

CottonSock · 28/11/2020 14:19

Mine is also much worse

Bluntness100 · 28/11/2020 14:20

Well. That’s quite tidy In comparison to ours..

CMOTDibbler · 28/11/2020 14:25

Ours is currently really tidy as we finally got round to putting in storage racking and sorting it all out at the beginning of lockdown 1.

Liquoriceallsort87 · 02/12/2020 13:44

Haha thanks everyone for making me feel better! I dread ever moving house again and tackling all our junk!

Mine looks like a branch of Kwik Fit. Tyres stacked up everywhere, plus 2 extra sets of wheels for my hobby car. At least it looks like a garage inside I suppose.

vanillandhoney · 03/12/2020 21:58

You can't even walk in ours - I mean, if the door didn't open outwards you wouldn't even be able to get in itHmm

It's full of DH's crap - wood, old bike parts, old bikes, surfing gear, work tools - I pretend it's not there Wink

catsmother20 · 03/12/2020 22:04

Ours is pristine, I'm not allowed to use it for storage Sadit's DH's pride and joy, he's about to level the floor, paint and seal it and paint the walls. I wish I could have a cluttered garage to hide my crap, my utility room is chaos instead!

Mangofandangoo · 03/12/2020 22:13

The garage is alright but the shed is Confused

Nanalisa60 · 05/12/2020 07:34

It’s a disaster !!

CottonSock · 05/12/2020 10:27

I agree. Moving house will have to wait until I die. Let's hope I'm never forced to move.

BoffinMum · 06/12/2020 13:27

Mine is amazing after a MN intervention a few years back when people on here helped me turn it into a home gym. Grin

CeeceeBloomingdale · 06/12/2020 13:29

Woree than yours OP

CeeceeBloomingdale · 06/12/2020 13:29

*worse

MaverickDanger · 06/12/2020 13:31

Our is really tidy, but we have hardly anything in it.

It’s literally lawnmower, some gardening stuff, garden chairs, our old dining table and normally the Christmas tree.

I do want to get some proper shelves put up as storage in the spring.

We’ve been using it to store our neighbour’s kids’ Christmas presents!
