Good Morning!
I have a fun question for YOU this week, well at least I think it's fun.
"Do YOU have a garage
AND can you park your car in the garage?"
For the past nine years we have been blessed with having a two car garage.
AND have been blessed with being able to PARK our cars in the garage!
I know a lot of people have garages but can't park their cars in them because
of all the extra stuff we accumulate.
Our first house had no garage and it never really mattered to either The Colonel or I,
we were just so happy to get out of our apartment in Queens.
When we moved to our second house, we were thrilled it had a garage!
Only it wasn't attached and was at the end of our driveway.
And even though we could get our car in the garage,
we just couldn't get OPEN THE CAR DOORS
TO GET OUT OF THE CAR!
The garage was so small that we used it
mostly for storing the kid's outside toys, our lawn mower and garden tools.
The Colonel and I spent most of Saturday cleaning our garage.
Nothing fancy, but it's organized...
I'm quite happy with this section because I finally have a spot for
all my "extra" canned food...
And of course, what "Good Italian Wife" would I be without a second refrigerator...
YES, there is room for not one, but both of our cars.
Hubby's car is at work...
So, let me know if YOU have a garage and let me know WHAT you store or PARK in there!

a few years back I used to take for granted storage.... just parking the car in my fathers barn, sometimes I go so far as to cover it with a tarp. But I learned the hard way as corrosion got the underbelly pretty bad and had a mouse problem in the interior...all in the same winter! found this to help also... http://www.thinkinsure.ca/car-auto-insurance-tips/Insurance-and-Winter-Storage-Tips-for-your-Classic-Car-in-Ontario.html

We do have a garage and we parked our car in there everyday until this summer. My hubby make a ceramic shop in it. So both cars are in the cement driveway and we can reach them through the garage 🙂

No garage but a double carport and yes, the car and truck are there. This is something that has always made me question people, a garage but the cars are outside, why not buy a storage shed and use the garage for the cars. Most people use it for storage I know and it is a mess. Kudos to you for your hard work and it looks great! I am sure you feel a great sense of accomplishment, as you should. Enjoy your new storage and covered cars when the winter hits!

we have a large 2 care garage, that we sometimes have one car in. We have all the kids stuff, second fridge, recycling, storage, yard tools, hubby's work shop. I grew up in MI, where everyone had garages. It wasn't until hubby and I moved to NC that I discovered a garage was a luxury - as are basements. Yours is so pretty!
Sandra says
Nope, we've never been lucky to have garages in any of the base housing we've lived. It's one of the things I am really looking forward to when we retire next year 🙂

We can't park anything in our garage. We have tried over and over to arrange stuff in the garage, but there is just too much stuff and never enough time to sort and sell off things.We have fit two cars in it before, but I am not sure we could do it now.Inheriting most of my grandmother's things have made it worse. We have two very full storage sheds as well. I wish I had more time, but I am working on my bedroom right now and I have to say it is coming along really well.

I had a beautiful two car garage with storage on both sides. Sadly I lost that when I sold my home and moved here to be near my daughter.
