westguy76 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) We also store are cars in the garage. It's tempting to use that space for other stuff and park in the driveway I suppose but I never gave in. I have decked my garage attic and store stuff up there. I also have a 6X6 shed in the back yard to store lawn equipment, that helps. Edited August 13, 2007 by westguy76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) It's funny that you mention $50,000 in cars. I've got a $40,000 F250 4x4 that wil not fit in my garage, of course I didn't find that out until I got the truck home. I worry constantly about it being exposed to the street (I live on a main drag), and make sure that any valuables are inside the house.

TJones Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The work/family car stays outside. The garage is strictly for storage and the habitat for THE BEAST ! ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has forced me to hang my "Velvet Elvis" in the garage, apparently there is no room in the house for it, but I swear there is plenty of room on the walls, but she says there isn't.

RedScare Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Lumber, tools, and a virtual restaurant, including tables, chairs, bar neons, lights, coolers, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Everything but an actual car. Used to be worse before I sold my fridges, freezers, grills and prep tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like party central in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear she's got you sleeping out there, TJ.... I don't have a garage, so I've been forced not to accumulate unneccessary junk, the problem is I've had to turn my dining room into my carpentry shop while I restore my house.

If the seats actually reclined in that badboy, I probably WOULD ! I got a TV with cable already, just need the window unit a/c and a Kegerator.

Talbot Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 We keep one car in the garage, but we got a shed so that we can clear the yard tools and other miscellaneous crap out of the garage so that I can park my new car in the garage.I hate having it out in the driveway.

Original Timmy Chan's Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Garage? What garage?According to my wife, who grew up in the house we now live in, the garage at our house was torn down sometime in the early 80's. (The homes in our neighborhood were originally built with a one-car detached garage in the back yard in the 1940's...those that haven't been replaced or demolished are quickly returning to the earth from which they came.)We finally got a shed this year, which has been nice. Finally got a lot of paint, tools and other stuff out of the closet under the stairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieDidIt Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 All the cars, a basket of pool toys, a hanging rack of garnden tools and a ladder. I throw things out constantly, I can't stand clutter. My family knows better than to leave anything important in the garage or on the counter for more than two days. After two days it goes in a black trash bag and put behind the gate with the cans. If they are lucky, the can retrieve the treasure before the trashman comeith. Each person has their own "everything drawer" and that's all the clutter they get! If I see something I suspect is semi-important I will put it in their drawer. PS- My Mother was a pack rat. Before the age of the CPU, her home office wall was stacked with Wall Street Journals and Forbes, with little paper tags coming out of each one. Shiver. Now if I see little pieces of paper and I immediately must purge the house of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
