This is exactly my problem, too much clutter. My garage is in a sad state of complete disaster currently. I need a shed to put all this crap in.

A decent wall mounted racking and shelving system might help you there a bit.....looks like you have a good amount of wall space. Although I admit its hard to rack mowers

Sheds are awesome, you can stuff everything that isn’t car related in there out of the way so you’re not constantly moving stuff to work.
If you do one add LED lights day one, as much as you’d think it doesn’t matter they’re so nice to have

2x4s and plywood to build in some shelves capable of some more weight maybe, and take them higher up the wall?
Maybe a M18 mower to go along with the other Milwaukee gear—it folds up and stands.
Thanks guys! Sonoran Steel lift on the 4runner. We've owned the thing 8 years now already, it's been rock solid. Was my wife's daily until we got her the GTI; that's when the modding began

trolling aside, dammit everyone here seems to have epoxy coated their garage except me and that makes me jealous.

It's hard to work up the motivation after your garage is filled with stuff. Mine is probably only done because I did it before I moved in. With an empty garage, it's like 2hr a day for 2 days to get it done. When I had to clean it a garage to do it, it was like 3, 10hr days.

Same here....my current garage in my post above, I did the epoxy right before I moved in. A previous garage I did the whole checkered tile thing, as per below. I think those tiles look good, and if you don't have time to deep clean dirty concrete and wait for paint to to dry, can be done very quickly. But, in terms of having an actual 'working' garage I personally think the epoxy is a bit better (if done right). My jack could get slightly hung up on the rubberized patterned tiles below (I'll get smooth ones if I ever go the same route again), and over time tires leave marks on them you can't get up also (although it would be easy enough to just swap out the affected tiles).

Link to the tiles you used? Might be a good alternative for our attached garage since all we do is park there.

Here you go: https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/garage/coin-flex-nitro-tiles.html. They have several different styles, either in the hard rubber like those ones shown or plastic style (whixh I decided against as they were too 'clacky' for my liking.
I like the tiles, but man, they're like 3-5x the cost of epoxy. The best kit you can get from Rust-Oleum (rock solid or something) is still under $1/sqft.

Yeah..... It's not a cheap option (it wasn't quite so bad 6yrs ago when I did mine) and as I say, if you are doing actual work on your cars including dragging jacks around, hoisting engines etc im not sure its the perfect solution come the end of the day. I do however think the smooth variants of that tile (not available when I did mine) would be a lot better though.

So epoxy is actually better for tooling around in the a garage?
