Probably not a big deal to some,but they came and put my storage building up today in the back yard. Now I can start this winter on making my 2 and1/2 car garage the way it should be for The Black Car. And the wife doesn't have a van anymore.!!!!!! Even more room!!!

That is definitely something to be happy about. I would love to have another storage building, but that would just mean me getting more crap and I still would have no room to work on anything.

Only 5 more days until the sale so I can have my garage back. I don't have enough land to put up a building for 'stuff'......

Gary, the car stays in the garage and the garage stuff goes to the out building? That is cool.....

Yeah,I'm really loving it.

I've been debating getting a small storage shed too... really want to get the bikes, strollers, tricycles, lawn-mower, and snow-blower out of my garage. It's too damn small to begin with, and that crap takes up a lot of valuable space. Trouble is, the house is currently up for sale so I don't want to spend any money on this property.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum here, I think. I have a good sized shed attached to the side of my garage in the back yard that is FULL OF JUNK. I don't think I'd have a problem letting all of it go...seriously, I'd like to pay someone to come with a trailer and take it all to the dump...baby junk, old furniture, used up toys, etc. I think there is a zodiac boat and a motorcycle in there somewhere.

I could store all of my mowers and junk in there, use the other side of the garage for the Chevelle, and keep the main garage bay open/empty. The only access to the garage attic in through the main bay, and when the Chevelle is in there, I can't get into the attic at all. I have needed to get in there on a rainy day...and couldn't because the Chevelle doesn't get rained on. I'd love to have it to where I could pull any of my cars or anything else for that matter into the garage where everything is so I can work on it. Even to do an oil change on one of my DD cars, I have to bring everything out to the carport.

I'm not one to brag about things. All I'll say is that it's big enough for both of us to enjoy,and we are both very happy with it. Really,the wife didn't think it was that big,at first. Once inside,she was impressed.:p

That's the first thing I bought for my house and then the next thing you know it's full too and then things start building up in the garage again. You can never go too big when it comes to storage buildings for the yard. Think of it as less yard to mow.

We have a shed 12x20 and that's not enough. Our garage is a 2 car, no extra room. The shed has 2 workbenches, compressor, riding mower, push mower, small trailer to pull behind the mower, gardening wagon, generator, disassembled 70s Ford lawn tractor, etc, etc, etc. Can't even turn around inside it.

We thought about tearing down the shed and putting up another garage. Taking down the old shed is not that simple, it's built to match the house. Brick halfway up, siding the rest, roof ties into the upstairs deck. Tearing the shed out and the concrete it's sitting on and having a new garage put up isn't cheap. We got some estimates just before the economy tanked, decided that wasn't a good time to dump $25-$30k

Boy would I love the space. We have a 1 car garage that has barely enough room for the Chevelle.
