Kid's got a bunch of ride on toys, which take up almost half the 2 car garage (about a third is my lawn ****), and the other third is some storage cabinets. The kid toys are just awkward. But I gotta still be able to access them. Currently the kid is 3, but I want something that can still be around for his brother (due in Sept), and convert over in a few years when both boys have outgrown the power wheels kind of ****. Just had the thought maybe I could just do some garage shelves, but want to know if y'all have any better ideas. Garage does have a "tall" ceiling (probably 12+ foot), so hanging **** off the ceiling is an option, but I don't want to try and wrangle power wheels down a ladder. I've thought about a "powered winch" style platform, but they are expensive, only rated for a couple cycles a year at most (WTF???), and still require the floor to be clear to use effectively. I'm not against having 1-2 of the ride on toys on the floor, but currently there is like 12. And I trip over the darn things constantly.
I have a couple of the Rubbermaid wall organizer strip things on the wall, which help a lot, but not great for the kid toys. I also need to figure out a better way to use them, with the chest freezer, as I didn't plan for the freezer to end up in the garage, but I don't want it back in the dining room either.
