@chienfou If cars were the only thing in it, two would fit. But I have a six-head screen press, a 30" width belt-feed shirt oven, drying racks for the stickers that I don’t print anymore, the steel-plate-topped workbench from my old shop, a 22"-throat guillotine paper cutter, a screen exposure unit, most of my old mechanic shop tools, a Shopsmith setup, two welders, and a bunch of other crap in there. A fire marshal would have shit fits, but as I have no employees, it’s up to me to make myself safe.
@chienfou@werehatrack that does sound like a lot of stuff. I think Dad’s was technically a two car garage but it had a lot of depth. Plus some side room. Open rafters. You could really get a ton of stuff in there.
Garages didn’t used to be built the same/just to fit the cars
@ircon96 My carport dropped about 6 or 8 inches in 2010 when got 44 inches of snow in 5 days. It wasn’t until the next morning that I thought to call my insurance company. The new one is twice as strong!
The garage is:
Now a bedroom (converted before I bought the house).
But now a tool room/parts storage (so, back to a garage; just cannot drive into it).
Garages aren’t a thing in my town. We do have a driveway though, which a lot of folks around here don’t have. We pretty much use the driveway for parking the car.
We have an attached two-car garage that has… two cars parked inside it! We also have a couple of decoy vehicles parked outside, just to keep our rural neighbors from being suspicious.
When I receive packages of a certain size through the USPS at my condominium they’re put in the locked box below the mailbox. When I track these packages USPS tracking tells me it’s in the garage! Not one time have they been wrong, so apparently they call that my garage!
Go figure!
Unfortunately, that’s the ONLY kind of garage I have until one becomes available that’s large enough to fit my vehicle!
Something I wish I had.
Where I’d park my car…IF I HAD A GARAGE
Where the spiders live.
All the above.
where my car hides from bird poop and hail.
Where the band practices.
@Euniceandrich The Band?
@yakkoTDI
@Euniceandrich
all of the above
Storage, print shop, wood shop, metal shop. Also where the compressor lives.
@werehatrack
Is it more than a 2 car garage?? That’s a lot of stuff going on in there!!

Where the Ecto-1 is on standby.

@kuoh That isn’t Ecto-1. Thats fake imitation Ecto-1
Something I wish I had!
Gone. Well, it was a carport that collapsed in the Snowmageddon of 2015 & i miss it!
@ircon96 My carport dropped about 6 or 8 inches in 2010 when got 44 inches of snow in 5 days. It wasn’t until the next morning that I thought to call my insurance company. The new one is twice as strong!
Where I used to brew beer when I had one.

Now a bedroom (converted before I bought the house).

@phendrick
I think you can if you try hard enough.
@phendrick @yakkoTDI The usability of the structure and combined contents may be impaired.
Communal. We rent out one space and store bikes in the other.
A carport where the car is parked. And the grill, lawn mower, and picnic table
A complete fucking disaster area.
@Pony Tradition!
I have not had one in a place I have owned, and that spans over 40 years. At my parents house (many years ago) it usually had a car.
Garages aren’t a thing in my town. We do have a driveway though, which a lot of folks around here don’t have. We pretty much use the driveway for parking the car.
@mamajoan
made me think of the classic query:
Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway??
(As asked by multiple comics over the years)
Where I park my car and store my junk
@cbatte
@chienfou
Well my minivan is the extension of the garage I do not have and is used for storing stuff. Does that count?
Where I’d like to do lots of projects but I’d have to move all the junk I have stored.
We have an attached two-car garage that has… two cars parked inside it! We also have a couple of decoy vehicles parked outside, just to keep our rural neighbors from being suspicious.
@macromeh But no engine hanging from a tree branch on the end of a come-along, it’s not that kind of neighborhood.
@macromeh @werehatrack But the big question is whether or not the decoys have enough rust to look appropriately aged and settled in for the long haul.
My mailbox for packages!
When I receive packages of a certain size through the USPS at my condominium they’re put in the locked box below the mailbox. When I track these packages USPS tracking tells me it’s in the garage!
Not one time have they been wrong, so apparently they call that my garage!
