DIY garage shelving (assuming you have a garage)

Replace all the contractor-grade wire shelving that is inevitably installed everywhere (pantry, closets, garage).  If you don't, you might overload it like I did once and have a collapse in your garage.  Found out the hard way it wasn't attached to the studs, and I was putting a tiny drill-bit (yes, a single drill-bit) on the shelf and the whole thing collapsed on me.

First time home buyer. Bought a 2007 year construction, two story house. I have a month before my current lease is up so I'm doing a bunch of re-painting, and it's got me so excited I am curious what other cool things I can do in the meantime.

Epoxy garage floor is on the list.

What cool things have you done?

Make sure you add the non slip to the garage epoxy, the kind I used had a fine powder and a second set of larger colored flakes.  Even then it can be slippery when wet.

Black out window blinds, makes it easier to sleep during the summer plus keeps those rooms much cooler.

Make sure you have enough light and power outlets in the garage before moving in.
