My garage needs your help!

I have a very small 2-car garage. It is way too small to park my Yukon, my Wife's Jetta, my mower, and all of my tools. Does anybody have any innovative ways to store all my crap out of the way so I can get both cars inside this winter?

I figure if minitruckers can do all the creative, innovative stuff that I've seen on SSM, maybe someone has some tips or ideas on this.

Oh, trading the Yukon for a minitruck, or getting rid of my Wife are not options.

You just have to be very organized. Lot's of high shelfs. We used to take old tailgates and make mounts for them and hang them from the wall. They make good work benches when they're down and look pretty cool closed up. They also sell some storage shelfs that hang from the ceiling and you can lower them down to get stuff off them. I don't know the weight limits on them but i think i saw them at lowe's

the tailgate idea seems pretty cool. what do they run at yard? like 10-15 bucks?? grab the cables and your ready to go.

I was thinking about using a tailgate to make a fold-down bar for my garage.

COSCO has a lift system that has a 4' X 4' platform that raises to the ceiling. I was thinking about putting my mower on one:

Do you have room for a shed in the yard? Somewhere to store all of your crap other than the garage is always nice. Otherwise try and get creative in your organizing. Good luck!
