Transform your garage into an automotive haven
Transforming your garage into an automotive haven is a great way to make the most out of your space. Start by clearing out any clutter and organizing the items you plan to keep. This will help create a clean and open space for working on projects. Next, consider adding some storage solutions such as shelves, cabinets and drawers to store tools and supplies. You can also install wall-mounted pegboards or slat walls to hang frequently used items like wrenches and screwdrivers.
If you’re looking for more worktop space, consider installing a workbench or countertop with built-in storage underneath. Add some lighting fixtures so you can easily see what you’re doing in the dark. With these simple steps you can turn your garage into a car paradise perfect for all your car maintenance needs.
Optimize your automotive storage options
When it comes to optimizing your garage automotive storage options, the key is to keep things organized and clutter-free. Sort through all of your items and decide what you need to keep and what can be thrown away or donated. Once you’ve done that it’s time to start thinking about how you can best store the items that you’re keeping. If you have a lot of tools consider investing in a tool chest or wall-mounted pegboard system for easy access. You can also use shelves and cabinets to store larger items like tires, oil cans and other automotive supplies.
If you have a lot of smaller items like nuts and bolts, try using clear plastic bins with labels so that everything is easily identifiable. If you have any large items like bikes or kayaks that don’t fit in the garage, consider installing an overhead storage system on the ceiling or walls. This will help free up valuable floor space while still allowing you to store those larger items safely out of the way.
Turn chaos into order
Cleaning out your garage can be a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be. With the right approach and a little patience it’s easy to create order out of chaos. Start by classifying all the items in your garage and sorting them into groups. This way you can determine what needs to be kept and what needs to be discarded. Once everything is sorted out it’s time to start organizing.
Invest in some storage bins and shelves that help keep things neat and tidy. Label each bin or shelf so you know exactly where everything is. If possible, hang items from walls or ceilings for easy access and try more space-saving options. Perform regular decluttering and remove items that are no longer needed or used.
Final thoughts
To maximize your garage space for automotive storage it is important to make sure that you have the right tools and equipment. Invest in quality shelving and cabinets to store items off the floor and out of the way.
TORONTO – One expert predicts Ottawa‘s changes to mortgage rules will help spur demand among potential homebuyers but says policies aimed at driving new supply are needed to address the “core issues” facing the market.
The federal government’s changes, set to come into force mid-December, include a higher price cap for insured mortgages to allow more people to qualify for a mortgage with less than a 20 per cent down payment.
The government will also expand its 30-year mortgage amortization to include first-time homebuyers buying any type of home, as well as anybody buying a newly built home.
CIBC Capital Markets deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal calls it a “significant” move likely to accelerate the recovery of the housing market, a process already underway as interest rates have begun to fall.
However, he says in a note that policymakers should aim to “prevent that from becoming too much of a good thing” through policies geared toward the supply side.
Tal says the main issue is the lack of supply available to respond to Canada’s rapidly increasing population, particularly in major cities.

OTTAWA – The Canadian Real Estate Association says the number of homes sold in August fell compared with a year ago as the market remained largely stuck in a holding pattern despite borrowing costs beginning to come down.
The association says the number of homes sold in August fell 2.1 per cent compared with the same month last year.
On a seasonally adjusted month-over-month basis, national home sales edged up 1.3 per cent from July.
CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart says that with forecasts of lower interest rates throughout the rest of this year and into 2025, “it makes sense that prospective buyers might continue to hold off for improved affordability, especially since prices are still well behaved in most of the country.”
The national average sale price for August amounted to $649,100, a 0.1 per cent increase compared with a year earlier.
The number of newly listed properties was up 1.1 per cent month-over-month.

MONTREAL – Two Quebec real estate brokers are facing fines and years-long suspensions for submitting bogus offers on homes to drive up prices during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Christine Girouard has been suspended for 14 years and her business partner, Jonathan Dauphinais-Fortin, has been suspended for nine years after Quebec’s authority of real estate brokerage found they used fake bids to get buyers to raise their offers.
Girouard is a well-known broker who previously starred on a Quebec reality show that follows top real estate agents in the province.
She is facing a fine of $50,000, while Dauphinais-Fortin has been fined $10,000.
The two brokers were suspended in May 2023 after La Presse published an article about their practices.
One buyer ended up paying $40,000 more than his initial offer in 2022 after Girouard and Dauphinais-Fortin concocted a second bid on the house he wanted to buy.
