Ask:
We have so many bikes and trikes, scooters, sports equipment on top of dh's toolbox (a monster of one..think almost twin bed size!), yard stuff, and just general junk. We need to get organized..but need a cheap way of doing it. Any ideas???
Answer:
Hang whatever you can on the walls, those bike hooks that hang from the ceilings work great, you can make shelves easily from spare lumber,use cardboard boxes on the shelves for storing footballs, soccer balls, baseballs,etc. I even hang our folding lawn chairs from big hooks on the walls.
Answer:
Definately try to hang stuff on the walls, it frees up so much space. I have a lidded garbage can that my kids keep all their balls in, it works out really well for us, they can throw them all in there, they stay in one place etc
We have a greenhouse in our backyard with a nice sized 'potting shed' attached to it, so luckily I can keep all our yard stuff in there. To keep it organized in there, I use a large metal trashcan for all my yard implements like rakes, shovels etc Keeps it all out of the way and I can see what I'm looking for...
