Haha, yeah the side I allowed to be viewed is the organized side, although I moved the cooler and a few other things out. The left side is more cluttered. I do have to get my car inside, you know. It's actually a two car garage, but only if there is nothing in the garage but the cars pretty much.

Mine is a two car as well, although it's acting as a one car for now. My daughter accidentally altered the one door with her car, so that side is currently "packed" with "stuff". Let's just say I'm a few months late for the spring cleaning..... gosh I hate big projects!...lol

Last week two 17 year old boys took their first career steps. Those two dinks walked into a local convenience store and robbed the clerk using a gun! Their take , a whooping $40.00. Being on foot the two got about 100 yards before being arrested. Robbery with a weapon is a felony which could get them sentenced to state prison for a lousy $40 bucks. Thank goodness they didn't shoot anyone.

They were going for the BIG score I see. You're right. Glad no one was shot.

I ashamed that I have a 3 car garage and all 3 bays are full of junk. We park our cars outside.

I think all homes need to have a storage space. Problem solved.

We are in the process of cleaning out the house garage, so cars will fit in it. Right now one car does, the other side has my table saw, chop saw, tools Now trying to make it so we can have that stuff and a car in it.

You can do it CE and you did, yay! Once in a great while, only happened a couple times but our garage door opened all by itself! Weird! We though it had something to do w/ the Navy base a few miles away. Signals crossing or?

A year or so ago the garage door spring broke. We thought someone had rammed the house. With the spring broken there was no way to open the garage door. Our go to garage door repairman came out that night and installed dual springs. With dual springs if one brakes the garage door still operates.

JW, are we going to read you are seeing black helicopters flying over our home?

 

[j.w]

@Big Lou Didn't I already post about the helicopters flying over our house

I must have missed that one. Do they scan your brain?

You know, Addy, tools need a nice, dry place to reside in. Cars, on the other hand, were MADE to be out in all kinds of weather!

BTW, our double garage contains a LARGE riding mower (just sold the older one), a motorcycle that hasn't been ridden in twenty years, a push mower, an industrial type storage shelf (from a change-over at COSTCO), the whole-house vaccuum, about 50 assorted yard and garden tools, four recycling and composting bins, two garbage bins, and a number of tools that I don't bother putting back in the basement because I just KNOW I'll have to haul them out for someone's repair job any day now! My truck and wifey's car both live in the driveway.

I remember in NJ what happened to me with a cable on the garage door .Just before we bought the house the other owner had overhead doors replace the garage door after he hit it and damaged one of the wooden doors .Well we moved in and 3 nights later I went to close the doors from inside the garage and the cable snapped and hit me in the back of the head and split my head wide open and emergency room visit and 20 stitches later I called overhead doors installer in East Brunswick and they came out and found that there guys had forgotten to put in the safety cable between the spring and the pulley was defective and had broken and without the safety cable the spring flew wild and hit me in the back of the head .I was lucky so remember to check cables pulley's and springs often for damages because it can prevent injuries .I was just glad it did not hit one of my children .I was also lucky that it just fractured a small part of my skull and the worst was the cuts to the skin .Overnight stay for observation and all cost and pain and suffering covered by them plus lose of work .I was so paranoid after that I would not close the doors from inside the garage and would not allow any one else to do it either .2 car garage and I would not park my vehicles in it for over 2 years
