Today officially starts the garage to gameroom transformation.  I plan on sectioning off the garage into 4 different areas: Gameroom, Storage, Tool Shop, and Gardening Area.  This will hopefully be a daily blog with pictures to show the progress of the garage overhaul.  The garage clear out starts today after work.  There is a ton of yardsale stuff located in the garage for the yardsale this friday.  I plan on documenting any game related material that goes into the yardsale.  I'll let you know what sells and for how much.  The first pictures will be taken tonight 10-12 and posted tomorrow.

10-13

Here are the pictures of the garage and the disorganization in it.  About a 1/3 of the items are yardsale items.  We cleared out 14 bags of yardsale items last night.  Here are the pics before the removal of some of the yardsale stuff.

Bumper and bench seat go in my 88 Dodge Dakota I just bought.  The bumper and bench on it are really tore up.  Picked up both of these from the local pick n pull for 80.00.  The bench needs some cleaning but the bumper is ready to go.

My two working arcade cabs covered in dust.  They haven't seen much action and I'm contemplating selling them.

The TV, VCR and Stand came from work and are going in the gameroom.  The shelving also came from work and is about 4ft wide by 7ft tall and there is 8 of them total.  224sq ft of game storage.  I plan on picking up a few more.

All this insulation was free from work.  There is two skids of it and more than enough for my garage.

Junk arcade cabs that I plan on tearing down.  I'll keep the buttons, joysticks, hinges, plexi, mechanisms and any good artwork.  The rest is being thrown away.

The riding mower and the push mower.  Also residing in the garage is my weed eater, chainsaw and various other yard tools.  I plan on buying a small metal shed to put all this in.
