Got a small garage?, how do you do winter projects in there? Options

I've got a small 1 car garage. The teener is kept in there. I'd like to do some winter project stuff to it. How do those of you with small garages work in your teeny tiny garages? Would it help if the car was up in the air on jackstands?

Our previous house had a nominal 1-car enclosed carport (basically a tiny garage with no door) and no driveway to speak of. The house was basically built out to the sidewalk/street and this thing held one smallish car pretty well but working on anything was -tight-. The ONLY thing that saved my sanity is that the house had gobs of storage space inside plus also a large storage shed in the tiny back yard. I had the shed completely packed with all of my p-car stuff. The key is keeping things organized into well-labeled bins by "function" or regularity of access; i.e., make sure the stuff you need frequently is right at hand but the other stuff can be "buried" if need be due to space issues.

I think at one point we had 5 cars at that crackerbox house. That really sucked -- there were city street cleaning (ticketing) days twice a week and at least 3 cars were parked on the street. Oversleep by 5 minutes and the tickets are $40 a pop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
