[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I long for a garage, though I doubt that I'll ever park my car in it - just seems like kind of a hassle. But to have that space to store bikes, kayaks, garden supplies, and all that - well, that sounds just heavenly!

In a small townhouse now, but thinking about upgrading - the next house will definitely have a garage.[/quote]

What part of it sounds like a hassle?

I pull into my driveway, press a button that is in my car, and the garage door opens.  I drive a bit further until I am in the garage, put my car in park, and turn off the ignition.  I press the same button again and the garage door closes behind me.

No hassle at all. :)[/quote]

Yea no clue what the PP is saying...parking in a garage is a hassle?  How do you manage driving?

We have a 2 car Garage.  My wife parks her car inside, the other half is for storage and my tools/DIY gear. [/quote]

I don't mind that you park your car in the garage....I just don't think that I'm likely to take the extra steps of opening the garage door and pulling in and parking.  Garages just seem kind a squishy to me. I grew up in a house with a garage and no one in the family ever parked in it (much colder climate than DC).  In that house, the garage was moderately sized (though actually larger than many garages that I see around, except in newer builds), so there just wasn't a lot of clearance to open the car doors without hitting into something. Maybe I'd feel differently if we end up with a really wide garage with tons of storage space AND clearance, but I'm also perfectly happy parking my car in the driveway

Also, unless we somehow end up with a three car garage, I'm not going to have space to park my car inside because my husband will definitely want to park His car in the garage, and I'd much rather use the other side for storing bikes and other outdoor gear.  So, it's really pretty much a moot point, from my point of view. [/quote]

You're too lazy to push the garage door control and drive in?  Oh, brother.  :roll: [/quote]
