Well that's been our problem. No shelves yet on the walls; wanted to wait until the walls got painted and whatnot. Luckily it helps when you only have 2 cars, a 3 car garage and an unfinished basement to shove all the stuff around. I'm bound and determined though--we'll get the garage at least mostly organized by the end of the year lol.Mackenzie I think it's a good idea to paint the inside of the garage, but honestly I couldn't tell you if ours is painted. I'll go look later and report back. Yes, that's just the kind of cliff-hanger post people have come to expect from me here in ALDIO.When we moved in to our current place we had some shelves built in the garage to store all of our stuff, so 75% of the wall space if covered up by boxes and those plastic bins you get a Big Lots.
though I'm not holding my breath 
Holy moly yeah you guys took on an amazing DIY task but congrats to you! Looks amazing too. I admire your patience with that!
. Luckily there is a bathroom already stubbed out so we won't have to break up any concrete to do so.And boy do I enjoy thatNah middle of the midwest. During the summer months it gets dark between 8:30-9PM, kids love it.
Bed time for Aaron and I is around 10:30-11pm (yeah we've been like that for years) though of course we can stay up later when we want to, so the sun being out too late would probably mess with us a bit (I admire the people who live in climates where it's dark or sun for months at a time-I'm sure I'd get used to it but still 
at the thought of it 
).
I guess we should have cut a couple of inches off the depth of the shelves. When we moved in we were both busy working and just told the contractor we wanted shelves, we should have gotten more specific about the dimensions.
That Aaron, he's a keeper!
Oh we have shelves alright, we have so much shelving in our two-car garage there's barely room to get the cars in there. Actually I exaggerate--there's plenty of room provided we don't need to get out of the cars once we're pulled in
Oh and now the big reveal: Our garage is painted white!
and, enjoy too!
Well guys, my DH has joined the ranks of doing home improvements this summer. He's finally replacing a few bedroom doors in our old house with new ones. Good thing we can't do videos because it's more a comedy show than a carpentry show!! He's certainly not as agile as he once was back when he was first remodeling this old house in his 20s!!
As others have said....we're loving the longer light in the evening, too!! The heat moves into Michigan tomorrow, tho, which will be tough to take. I'm watching my 1 yr old grandson for 4 hours on Saturday but darn it will be too hot to take him outside for very long. But I'll still take this over 20 below in winter!!
I was just listening to a podcast the other day where the host was explaining that there's an art to hanging a door. Good luck to your DH!
OMG that is too funny. Hindsight 20/20 gets us all the time. There can be so much to think about and how it will work in the end.Oh we have shelves alright, we have so much shelving in our two-car garage there's barely room to get the cars in there.

It's only 101 degrees here.
only? Accuweather lists it as 97 in my neck of the woods with feels like 105. My mom showed me a screenshot of whatever weather app she uses from 2:30pm while she's at work and hers said feels like 110 she's about 15mins away from me. It's just too dang hot..like I want a beer 
but IDK it may be too hot for even that over water .
It's just too dang hot..like I want a beer
Sunny blue skies and 18C (64F) here today with 44% humidity. Very typical conditions for early summer. It's the Canada Day long weekend upcoming and the forecast is for lower temperatures and rain. 
I believe the common thought is you can alternate beer with water. But that's for outdoors, indoors is up to the discretion of the thirsty
But I love our friends to the North, just not their winters either. 
You're more than welcome to come up for a visit anytime!
Aw shucks - thanks, eh! It's my sweet, little beady eyes and adorable chubby cheeks! Gotta admit I'm in bad need of a mani/pedi though.
Well...it was dinner inside so I opted for a beer along with waterI believe the common thought is you can alternate beer with water. But that's for outdoors, indoors is up to the discretion of the thirsty
. I almost got a Guinness but with the heat I opted for a Tallgrass Blueberry Lemon-Ale it was mighty refreshing I'll say
If I was going to be outside for too long yeah water it would be for me. I couldn't tell you how much water we had while we were in Disney this past September but it was a lot that's for sure.Hey our heat advisory just said to drink plenty of fluids which I will sooooo follow going into this hot weekend!! Water during my babysitting for that Sat afternoon, then switch over to pop possibly mixed with other fluids when darling baby goes home with DS and DIL.
