Check the Leak in Your Car

Check the Leak in Your CarYou pull out your car from the garage and you find that some fluid is leaking from the car! How can you tell whether it is break fluid leak, power steering fluid leak or just the water from your air conditioner? Let’s find out.
Read on:
• Place a white cardboard under your car on the spot where you noticed a leak. Leave it for few hours.
• After the fluid gets deposited on the sheet, identify the color, texture and odor of the fluid.
Oily and black: It is the engine oil. If the puddle is larger than a silver dollar, call the mechanic.
Oily and red: It is the transmission fluid.
Slightly oily, green or yellow: This is likely a coolant system leak.
Clear and oily: The fluid leaking from your car may be the brake fluid.
Clear but not oily: This is perhaps the water leaking either from the air conditioner or it is the windshield washer fluid.

Keep your garage spick and span

Keep your garage spick and spanSo you tussle through the litter in your home on a daily basis, isn’t it? And when you ultimately keep your home spick and span, an unorganized garage can make you go mad! Keeping garage spotless is as important as any other part of your residence. Follow a few tips given below to realize the task.

Floor space:
One of the important things to do while organizing your garage is to free up the floor space. Build an enclosed lean-to shed on the side of the garage to keep the bicycles, wheel barrow, snow blower and other large items.

Wall storage:
Hooks, racks, custom-made cabinets and nails are the best solutions for wall storage.

Rubber- made cabinets:
These are one of the customized cabinets which are easy to fix. You don’t have to paint or maintain them. You just need rubber mallets to hammer the interlocking pieces together. Screw the cabinets to the wall and your custom-made cabinets are ready to use!

Keep your plan simple. Once you identify the storage needs, you will be able to organize your garage in a better way.

Organize your garage

Organize your garageSo you find it difficult to fit your car into your garage and most of the time you have to park your car outside the drive way. Why? This is because all the “stuff” in your garage is piled up haphazardly and that is why you are left with no option other than parking your car outside.

Hence, it is the time to get organized. Here’s how.

Dump the unwanted items: What are the old toys doing in your garage even when your kids have outgrown them? They are collecting dust for no reason. The toys rather deserve to be dumped in the garbage can. If there are tools, boxes and other items which are taking up huge space and which are of no use now, it is better to sell them. Have a garage sale for all the stuff which you don’t need. This will be a good option to earn some money and buy some useful stuff for your garage. These will be the storage materials for the garage.

Store the useful: Store the useful materials in shelves, drawers, cabinets and bins. Keep your useful tools in tool boxes.

Maximize the space: Now that you have categorized the items and stored them accordingly, the next step is to maximize the garage space. For this purpose, use tall sturdy shelving units and portable bins. Keep the bins on wire racks for easy access and storage. Drawers are also good options for storage purposes.

This way, organize your garage, maximize the space and look how easily your car fits into your spick and span garage!
