finally have my 2-914 garage back, But I still have too much stuff. Or do I? Options

[siverson]

I built a shed just outside my garage for less frequently accessed stuff, and finally can use my garage as a two-914 garage like it was intended. House was built in the 60s, and the garage is only 20x21. We moved here about 6 months ago and this is the first time I could get both cars in the garage.

I've sold/thrown away so much stuff, but I still feel like I have too much. I have a feeling I'm not alone here. Part of my problem, is I have lots of hobbies:

- 914/car stuff. lots of parts I made need some day + about 30 plastic trays/bins with screws/etc. Plus bolt in roll bar, track wheels...

- dirt bike, parts, parts, boots, gear

- street bike + gear

- lots of tools including big stuff: table saw, welder, compressor, shop vac, etc...

- data center / computer stuff (for work)

- wood working tools / supplies (built kitchen cabinets, island, etc, etc)

- audio/home theater stuff (cables, connectors)

- vintage PCs (still work, have software I grew up with)

- R/C cars (again, still work, use once a year)

- stuff to keep (yearbooks, photos, etc)

Argh. What to do... Get rid of some hobbies? Another shed? Sell stuff and buy again if needed?

(Btw - one of the best decisions I made when we remodeled was running power for overhead lights in the garage. Forty 4ft T5 bulbs in total. I actually prefer to wash my car at night now and just finish in the garage.)

> Did you get your storage idea from Jack Olsen's storage idea?

I've seen Jacks, but mine is just a short version of a "tough shed". I saved about $1000 doing it myself, and it was actually a pretty fun project. It's nice being able to build something quickly and somewhat rough (as opposed to the kitchen cabinets that I did last and they took FOREVER).
