Garages are becoming more and more commonplace on Guam these days. A good percentage of newer homes on Guam now include a garage in the floor plan. Makes excellent sense where tropical storms and typhoons are part of Guam’s DNA.
Whether you park your vehicle inside the garage or just use it as storage, there is plenty you can do to improve – and add to – the use of this huge space. So, let’s consider how we can turbocharge your garage.
- Coat the floor: Garage floors are, very often, just bare concrete. Coat the floor with an epoxy finish. It will make the floors easier to clean (remember that oil patch from your vehicle?) and longer-lasting.
- Add to the storage space: Yes, you can! Hang the bicycles, tricycles, paddleboards, kayaks, etc. up. Install hooks and racks on the walls and the ceiling. Install shelves on the walls and from the ceiling. Free up some floor space and be clutter-free!
- Create a work station for your hobby: Avid carpenter? Love to fix vehicles? Into gardening? Well, a work station will help keep everything together, making it easily accessible and organized.
So, there you go. Another easy weekend task that can involve the whole family.
