 ===Storage===
-Here's a system my daughter-in-law devised for my son and then, me. She bought 24 of those 60 gallon stackable plastic containers with lids and wheels. She attached numbered plastic tags with snap ties to each container and labeled them with a contents header, I.E. spray paint, Chevelle, Flathead, air tools, etc. , then made a corresponding entry book with a bin # and wrote down what was inside each bin. Now, when I'm looking for something, I pick up the book, look for the header, and see what's inside the container that I need. My only job is to add and delete what I take in or out of the container. Next bunch I buy is going to be the clear type. With the clear type you can 'see' what the majority of the contents are and decide if that's the one that you need.
+Here's one way to handle garage storage.
+Buy 24 of those 60-gallon stackable plastic containers with lids and wheels. Ideally, buy clear plastic containers, so you'll be able to see what's inside. Then, attach numbered plastic tags with snap ties to each container, and label them according to their contents (ie: "Spray Paint", "Chevelle", "Flathead", "Air Tools", etc.)
+Then, make a corresponding entry book. Each entry should include a bin number, and the contents of the bin.
+Then, when you're looking for something, you can first check the book, then look for the tag with the matching number. When you add or remove something from a container, you can update the entry in the book.
+====Tire rack and cord rack====
 Every shop should have a tire rack and cord rack.
