Keep things clean in your garage with epoxy or acrylic floor paint; the smooth, non-porous surface makes sweeping and mopping up quick and easy. And—assuming that your starter garage is not heated—investigate fluorescent ceiling fixtures that throw out light in the coldest temperature your garage may reach. Because seeing what you’re doing always helps tasks run more smoothly—and safely.
