Default Re: Garage Cabinets

The cabinets I ordered for the garage (will be installed next week) are 8' high burled mahogany with leather inlays in the doors.* They will extend 18' on the side and 18' along the rear wall of the garage.* Speaking of doors, they are electrically operated and remotely controlled either from beside the door coming out of the laundry room, or from a panel I installed in our golf cart - handy when I'm looking for a particular item and need it quickly...all the items inside these nifty cabinets are inventoried on a Microsoft Access data base, and through voice recognition software, I just speak into the golf cart console, e.g. "nine iron" and the appropriate door of one of the 12 cabinets opens and a laser beam shines on - sure enough - the nine iron inside that cabinet.* Same thing for the hedge clippers, the Black Flag, Deet, the Obama yard sign and the 1001 other items stored and inventoried in these works of art.

Is this overkill?* You betcha.

Just kidding... but I can't wait to spend a few hours at Home Depot to pick out just the right shelving and cabinets.
