Apparently there is a standard way 99% of all garages are framed out...we fall into the 1% category that does not have adequate joist reinforcement/ stud placement. As a result, our overhead storage system had to be hung in a way that dramatically reduced the hanging storage capacity. ***insert sighs***
So where does this leave us?
As I type, Hubby is patching the garage walls. His hope is to sand and paint tomorrow.
Afterwards, we will just "wing it"; reloading the garage and making organization designs on the spot. What is it they say about best laid plans?
Since I don't want this post to be all negatives, on the positive side I have held firm to my dream of the "Sports Center". Here are a couple of my favorite inspirational images all via google image search "garage built-in".
Cross your fingers for us & hope that we have progress to report next week!!!
Sometimes slow progress is the best progress because it's a well thought out plan! You guys also have 3 kiddos and a pup in the mix so it's okay if it takes some time! You'll get there!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate it when things like that happen! But while it may not be exactly how you planned, it will still be organized and nice looking. Best of luck!
