Survey Results - II



Another interesting aspect of the survey came from the question about what is the hardest part about keeping a garage tidy. Not having adequate storage seemed to be the biggest concern at 33% of the respondents. Not putting things back where they were retrieved (16%) was important, and makes sense I suppose. I have found myself having to remember to put things back into the labeled bins I have just organized.

I was surprised that although 6% said time was an issue, 20% stated a garage is dirty with bugs, car oil, dirt, and requires working in a dirty area.

So, having someplace to put stuff, remembering to return items to the places that exist, and working in a dirt space keeps people from keeping their garages tidy and usable.  What if a garage were treated as a living space? Would it then be more apt to be in regular order?
