Helping my dad sort his garage taught me a simple labeling method

I spent last weekend at my dad's house helping him clean his garage. He had boxes of stuff from years ago all mixed up. We decided to label everything with colored tape for different categories. Now when he needs something, he can find it right away. I started using the same system in my own garage this week. It's made a huge difference already. My wife even commented on how much neater it looks.

I spaced on door swings when measuring and now there's an ugly carpet gap.
