Garage Organizing - part 9

Moved the Halliburton suit case & a large model kit above the corner storage cabinet (it's on wheels like nearly everything in the garage).  This is an efficient use of space for the larger items that don't really fit in other places...

Used even the space between the joists for storage.  This stuff will get blocked by other stuff so having these pictures will help in the future...

This aluminum tank also needs to go back in the garage.  It's not able to sit on it's brackets because of this pipe.  Will remove it.

Used a pipe wrench to remove this short piece of pipe.

Now with the pipe out of the way the tank will sit flat on it's brackets.

This looks like it was used as a fuel tank for a hot-rod.  It's on the small side (maybe 7 gallons?).  It's aluminum so it's very light.  When I got it, I was thinking of converting it into a portable compressed air tank but I'm not so sure now...  I have a steel portable compressed air tank but it's very heavy and cumbersome.

Perfect weather day.  About 70F at the beach...

Some people are riding with masks and some are not.  My take on it is that as long as you don't linger near anyone, the chances of spreading the virus are pretty minimal while riding a bicycle...

The red tide is still pretty intense...  You can barely see anything below the surface (visibility must be just inches...)

Garage Organizing - part 8

Moved the Snap-on tool box base in front of the window & placed a Kennedy tool box set above it to maximize the use of the vertical space.  Ultimately, I'd like to keep the front area of the flat file horizontal surface clear, like in this picture.
I also moved the blue shelf unit up higher and placed a narrow Kennedy tool box and base under it, again to maximize the vertical space use. 

Decided to move the old metal tool cart here for storage for now.  It's on wheels and can be moved out easily.  Also used the top surface of the tool cart to store a metal cutoff saw and a Wilton vise, for now.

This was taken before I put the Matco tool box in the garage, but it shows some of the other stuff that's waiting to be put back (not counting the stuff under the blue tarp).  Still some work to do & it gets harder as the limited space in the garage gets used up...
