There are now shows that depict people with hoarding problems, going beyond acceptable pack rat behavior and literally keeping everything and never throwing out anything. These shows depict the worst, an extreme point that is both shocking yet, in varying degrees, is also suffered by a large part of the population. Though we are still within sane limits, let us not deny that many of us simply cannot part with some things that absolutely have no value. Like children's toys that will simply never be used again since the last toddler who played with them is now in his senior year in college. That is why organization is key when keeping a tidy, beautiful home. Sure, you can still store stuff for memory's sake, but make sure that you have enough plastic storage bins to keep your garage, well, a garage.

A lot of people may not have the hoarding issues that impede their capability to live productive lives, but you can be sure that there are more garages and attics out there that are barely useable or recognizable because of the amount of stuff stored in random in them. This is where plastic storage bins and other storage tools come in. In one purpose filled weekend, one can turn a disorganized and disused garage into a functioning work area or parking space again. Just with a few power tools and some healthy amount of planning, you can start a DIY project to keep you things organized. You can start by shopping for new shelves and plastic storage containers. The good thing about these plastic storage bins is that a lot of them are designed to fit snugly together, saving as much space as possible.

Remember, for this project, you need to plan. Start by measuring the space that you have from all dimensions, length, thickness and width. This way, you can figure out the amount of shelves, cabinets and other storage units that you can install in a wall or in the space above your head. This way, you can fit as many plastic storage bins as possible in an area. Also, segregate places so that when the time comes that you need some of the stuff you have stored away, you have easy access to them. If you do not plan your DIY organization project and just start to buy things that look good, then you end up with more unused spaces that could have been made functional, defeating the entire purpose of the project and may even cost you a bit more money for less of a bang. So always plan ahead so that you save money, time, space and end up with a garage that you can use again.
