Sometimes we ask ourselves how to keep the garage clean and more organized. The garage is usually a spacious area big enough to fit your car in securely. But besides keeping your car safe, the garage can be also be used to store many items safely. Firstly, you will need to understand how much space you would need for your car, bikes, lawnmower, and other large items you possess. Then you can understand how much extra space you have to plan and store other items in a more organized manner.

Before deciding to add more things to your garage, you can start by categorizing and dividing the garage into different zones. It helps you figure out what can go where and then store categories together based on your space. Decluttering and having to keep only the things that are necessary is very important. Every house tends to store things in their garage that they don't need, use, or shouldn't even be storing. The garage becomes a dumping ground for the household when you accumulate and have too much of everything.

“The GT brand has always been one of my passions since I first started taking my son to the track more than 45 years ago. It’s exciting to see my son Craig developing and building frames and forks like I did back in the day, and we’re looking forward to doing this with GT.” - Gary Turner

I always ask to my mechanic to make one but this is first time I built it by myself. It was very hard and I was headache but It was definitely great to know how the wheel come out and the team work is important. I realized that mechanic is hard work too. Enjoy!
