DIY Garden Shed Organization Project from Lowe's

Every once in a while, we find a really helpful how-to on the Lowe's website, like this garden shed organization project. For each how-to on their site, they provide a source list as well as pricing, skill, and time estimates. This project...

...is estimated to cost about $870 and requires a week's worth of work for an intermediate level DIY-er.

In the example project, a catch-all storage shed is transformed into a functional workspace with paint, pegboard walls, a kitchen counterop, and cabinets. If you don't have a garden shed, this project could also work in a laundry room basement workshop, home office, or garage. The pegboard walls provide plenty of hanging storage space, as well as a convenient surface for shelving. Galvanized trash cans and buckets act as storage receptacles, while the laminate countertop is easy to clean.

In Florida we'd also have to insulate and air condition it...

Ooooh....how I wish I could have a shed. My association won't allow it (townhouse)....bah! I could store my bike, garden tools, pots, soil, etc., etc.... Think of the possibilities.

I like the idea but one hammer, one pair of scissors? It would be easy to keep it tidy if we got rid of 90% of our stuff.
