THE GARAGE TAKES A BOW

By Mike Lightbourn

WHEN selling a home, an important feature is the simple garage.

Undersold and often overlooked, a garage can be transformed into an organized and practical space that makes your household more efficient.

Think about it.

Of course, a garage shelters cars.

However, it provides many other benefits that should be played up if you’re selling your home and you are lucky enough to own one.

A garage is a secure environment to store bicycles, lawn mowers, boat gear and sports equipment.

It can double as a shelter for outdoor pets, as long as it’s properly ventilated.

A garage which connects to a home can serve as a mudroom – a place to leave dirty or wet shoes

and dripping raincoats and umbrellas.

And who likes to unload groceries in a tropical downpour when shelter’s available?

A garage can host a work station for a hundred small jobs, such as repairing screens, gluing broken china or building a model boat.

The work station, in turn, may be used as an arts and crafts centre for children and adults.

The possibilities are endless.

DON’T LET JUNK RUIN A GOOD THING Unfortunately, garages have a tendency to be used as a catchall, but by getting rid of whatever you don’t need, you’ll be surprised at the amount of space that will open up.

To present an attractive garage/ all purpose area, install the proper

level of energy efficient lighting.

A sturdy workbench will appeal to different people for different reasons – to the Do It Yourselfer, the artisan and especially children for various projects.

Organise your tools in a tool chest. Afraid they’ll be stolen?

Then secure with locks and bolt to the floor.

Fix a peg board to the wall for tools that can’t fit in drawers, rakes and mops and so on.

Install hooks upon which to hang lawn equipment, a fire extinguisher and barbeque extras and so on.

is dry and clean – that means free of dirt, dust, oil and grease. Use a stain remover if necessary.

There are various products that are available to help garage floor paint and sealers to adhere to the surface.
