- Add magnets: Magnets are a great idea to keep your garage tool area organized. Place magnet strips along the side of your tool cabinet to keep up with look screws.
- Repurpose your towel holder: A towel holder is great way to hold up your unused garbage can bags. Simply take the roll out of the box and place it through the paper towel holder. We suggest using a paper towel roll that screws into the wall.
- Tin Can: repurpose old tin cans by screwing them into the walls of your garage to hold the little things such as paint brushes.
- Bungee Cord: Bunge cord storage is a great way to use wall space rather than floor space. Place all your basketballs and footballs within this bungee storage for easy usage.
- Lattice Rack: If you have a lot of poles or rakes sitting around, insert a lattice rack to keep those household items organized.
- PVC Pipe: if you are not a fan of the lattice rack you can try bolting 4 inch cut PVC pipe to your walls. Insert household items such as rakes and shovels through the piping and you are officially organized!
- Hooks: Use of hooks around the garage are a great way of keeping track with the little things. This incudes to do lists, keys, etc.
- Baskets: use baskets placed along the walls to store extra groceries, paint cans, etc.
- Ladder hanger: make a ladder system to store your ladder away from heavy foot areas. The ladder can be a huge hazard for little kids playing around in the garage.
- Large hooks: This is a great way to keep your cords untangled and out of the way.

10 Things You Should Throw Away Right Now
Posted by Overhead Door Permian Basin on Fri, Feb 20, 2015 @ 01:51 PM
With spring right around the corner, it's time for some spring cleaning around the home!
Here are 21 things you should consider throwing away right now!
-
Your dish sponge – did you know this is the dirtiest part of your kitchen?! We suggest throwing away and replacing your sponge every month. An easy cleaning method is to place them in the microwave or dishwasher.
-
Your old shoes- We know we always have those old pair of sneaker hanging around to do the dirty jobs around the house, but how much are you actually wearing them? Toss.
-
Those clothes you have had for years but never wear- these are great “space users”. If you don't wear them, get rid of them. Feel good about yourself by giving them away to Goodwill, or if they are nice, try selling them on Ebay!
-
Expired makeup- toss.
-
Hangers you've gotten from the dry cleaners- They may come in handy one day but for now just get rid of them. You will have another run to the dry cleaners later.
-
Stacks of magazines- have you heard of Evernote? Download it now on your smartphone. Take pictures of the photos and ideas you wanted from the magazines and save them to the Evernote database.
-
The half finished project- lets be real, it's not happening. Toss.
-
Socks with holes- duh. Toss.
-
Old paint- try using a little organization and save the old paint in tuber wear for easy touch up.
-
Old spices- spices get old, so toss the old and in with the new! Check out Pinterest for motivation on new recipes.

I can see everything.
Every time you leave your garage open, we can see it. So clean it up! No one wants a dirty house on the block.
I can hear you too.
If you are one that likes to build out of your garage or works out in there, we can hear you given there is little insulation. So make sure to tone it down after dark.
We don’t want to get robbed either.
If you leave your garage open, it is more likely to get broken into. But we don’t want to get broken into either so make sure you always remember to shut your garage.
We’d love to hang out.
Now that the weather is getting nicer, we love to be outdoors with our children and local neighbors. The garage is a great place for us to watch our kids while being out of the street. Let’s have a party!
Your garage can make or break your home.
So may have the nicest house on the block, and your garage is included. We’re a little jealous. Tell us where you got your garage door. We’d love to know!
