Well, its going on week 3 of being off work. I've been trying to keep myself busy to keep from going crazy. The trainer is fun but my cast gets nice and swampy for a couple hours after. But the other day I decided to install some peg board in the garage to 1, centralize my bike tools, and 2, free up some space to make a truing station on my roll-away.

Today I laid out the frame for the 4'x4' piece that'll be for the larger tools and then I also installed and set-up the 2'x4' bench piece for the bike tools. Everything looks great, it'll be nice to have all the bike tools laid out instead of just thrown about like they were before.

Here's a couple shots. Tomorrow I'll be finishing up the project and have better pics.

Well done sir! Looks like you've got a nice DIY shop ready to go. Watch, now you'll become everyone's "best" friend. :lol:

Nice, peg board makes it look you like you know what your doing, when others come over to wrench.

Thanks guys, I really like the way everything looks. Makes finding tools so much easier.

I got the basket at Lowe's, but I have also seen them at Home Depot.

If it was my garage I'd be all about it. This is just a rental, one day... one day.

Paint the pegboard white...it actually makes the tools stand out more...you could also go full bike shop and trace your tools. I just painted my pegboard white I'll get a pic for you.
