What Do You Really Use Your Garage For?

The garage space is used to store boxes and junk.

Originally I planned to actually put my car in the garage but it was full of boxes and bags after my house move. Then my partner moved in and the garage was full to the doors with his stuff as well. Finally we managed to clear out all the junk and use the garage for storage of our outdoor gear and camping stuff. Now the garage has been turned into a studio, my partner keeps all his recording equipment and computer down there, together with guitars, speakers and amps.

We have a one-car detached garage. Even if it were completely empty it still would be too small to fit anything but a super-tiny car, like a two-seater. A motorcycle would fit just fine too. I am always wondering why you would make a garage that a car cannot fit in. Since we can't put either of our cars in there we have to park them in the space next to it and we keep things like the lawn mower, weed whacker, tools, paint, rake, broom, summer furniture and stuff like that out there. And a few miscellaneous things go out there too. Since it is a small space, you can barely move with the stuff we have in there. Once I actually get around to getting the house organized a little better I will move on to the garage and make that space nicer.

We really do use our garage for our car and hubby's work shed. On the other hand it is tempting to make it part of the house as the neighbors just did. What a beautiful job they did. You would never know they had a two car garage before.

well i use my garage as a storage room ,kinda thingm,i keep my boxes and all in tht and i park my car outside...lol

We don't actually have a garage, just a walled-in garden that we park the car in. However, when I lived at home, our garage got converted into my brother's ultra-cool bedroom. I was so jealous!

yup! we have a van and it takes a lot of space. plus there are other stuff there too. good day gtargirl! :-)

We only have a single car garage but guess what, it's used to house my car. The builder installed several shelves around the car in the garage, above the car and off to the sides. Many of my crafts are on the shelves and some car washing supplies. My husband parks his car on the driveway and never complains. Our house was built in the mid-60's and our property line doesn't allow us to add on and make a double garage. The only other way to expand would be to cut out a good portion of our living and dining areas. That's really not an option.

we have no garage at this house but a car port that parks 2 cars and we have 4 cars good thing we have a long driveway

We have a 3 car garage, but I could not fit a car in there..There are moorbikes, lawnmowers, garden , tools and the list goes on..

I do not have garage. That is why I sold my car, when I shifted to this house. Last week, my neighbour had to vacate his shop so he made the shop in his garage and parked the car in front of his house. Good idea is it not? No rent is to be paid.

My family uses the garage to park our cars. We actually have 3 at the moment. The other one is parked outside and the two inside. There's not enough space to store other things in the garage. It is used mainly for parking and the car's so called shelter as what my dad would always say.

We have a double car garage, and thank the gods we don't own a car, because its jammed to the rafters with stuff that belongs to us and to friends. When my daughter went to move in with us, and store her furniture and other items in the garage, I discovered my son had let one of his friends store a houseful of furniture in it. We can get into the door and across the back wall without moving things out of the way. Other than that, there are 2 house fulls of furniture and power tools and bikes filling the place. I don't know what will happen if I ever decide to buy a car!

Hello,in the winter we put our vechicles in it since it is a 2 door garage.But in the summer i use it for my craft shop,lol.I have all my tools and wood cutting gear in there on my side to do some wood crafts like for the holidays eg:christmas lawn decorations and haloween and stuff for my gardens like antiqued benches.I made a fence this summer for the garden to go between the garage and the back patio area with a wooden arch that went in the middle for the entry and painted it white for my little old picket fence look,haha.Its my place in the summer at least my own side,i have to share though when the snow comes,hahahah.:)Have a nice day!

Right now we live in a small apartment and use our garage for storage. We are not going through it and most of the stuff I am wonding why I even kept it in the first place.

we have a 2 car garage with a storage area, we park both cars in the garage

Our garage! It is used to store bikes, old cupboards, old books, my hubbys tools, the cat carrier cage, old computers... you name & we have it in the garage. Our two cars are parked in the driveway or on the road.

We have a 2 car garage and NO room for anything. We moved here almost a year ago 18th of last November. And we put all the stuff we didnt put in the house in the garage. My dad uses the part by the door that goes into the house as his mini office with his desk and printer. We have 2 fridges neither used unless necessary (have one in the house as well) The rest is tons of boxes from the move not yet put away. My sis and me are moving so we are going through our boxes. Oh also my mom keeps her books out there so she can start selling soon again on ebay. And our 2 bikes are there too. At least we have room to walk...

I think its a common habbit among men to use a space in the garage to keep the tools and old things , archives , unused and useless things in the garage for no reason , just because there is space , but going back to GTARGIRL garage plan , we find that's really used a very good and rentable way and we can rate it as an ideal plan for investing our resources for the kids and knowledge.

My garage is a server farm. :) I have the wall behind the servers and the roof above them with fans going through the walls to move air around them. I'll find my camera and take a picture, its really quite cool. :)
