My garage is useless for cars, even our Hyundai Accent. Once you get tjhe car in, you can't open the car door to get yourself out.
The brain trust that previously owned our house built a shed in the backyard; instead, he/she should have built a 2-car garage and used the garage as a shed. Hmmm ... future project?
Our two-car garage has my wife's Explorer and my '92 F-150. I tend to park outside in the Summer so we can get yard equipment in/out easily. I'm beyond trying to keep up my Maaco paint job on the F-150
Three car garage and soon to add a two car garage w/ workshop. Three cars in the garage, three outside the garage, all lawn equipment and tools in the garage (they all have a place, lol, or else nothing would fit), fridge in the garage, cabinets, etc. Bikes on the back porch. Neighbor borrowed the lawn mower and when he tried to return it we politely refused it, too much trouble to move two cars to be able to get it back in its snug spot. Sad, very sad. Read an article recently that now people are making the garage into kind of an outdoor living area w/ plasma tv hanging on the wall. Already said both garages are going to have the nice mat floors. What I get for being married to a car collector.
We purposely had an oversized garage built while our house was under construction. The cars are in the garage because I hate cars in driveways and I like to get into a warm car in the winter and a cool car in the summer. We have a storage unit that's pretty inexpensive for all the rest of the crap.
The garage is used for parking and storing a very limited amount of outdoor stuff that could take the summer heat. All other belongings are in climate controlled storage.
Already said both garages are going to have the nice mat floors.
Hi momof2. Are you referring to the mats that are rolled out onto the garage floor? If so, what brands/types are you going to get? I want one for my new house.
Our garage floor surfaced last week end :>)
The water heater will be replaced by a a flow through to allow the ShopSmith to stay. The rest was a painful trip to Lowes for lots of Gladiator storage and flooring. The little Roomba will hopefully keep it halfway clean.
Yes - no advertisement but has anyone encountered a better solution?
My dad always used to say that your car was normally the second most expensive thing you owned in your life, your home being the first...of course your car is worth more then the junk you would put in your garage...I learned from him.
I do store things there, but my truck has to have a place to BE.
I live in a pretty nice neighborhood but we have some teenagers who like to break into cars and take what they find...its just easier to keep it in the garage then worry whose car they are going to break in.
