My. Word. I didn't think there was another garage on the planet that looked remotely anything like ours - LOL! I'm afraid ours has yours beat though... in spades. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to provide photographic proof in a public forum... you'll just have to take my word for it. :) Oh. My. Word.

As the wife I do try to let my husband have this one "room"--though I fully admit my part in trashing it: I stand at the kitchen entrance and chuck recyclables in with my eyes closed. Used to do it with eyes open until I saw a black widow scampering away from the light. Very witty post!

We have a 2 car garage that can really only fit 1 car and our stuff. My dh insists on putting 2 cars in it. So far my ds has tore off his side mirror, my dh tore off his side mirror, and I scraped the whole side of my van on a wheelbarrow. Sigh... That's it we need to buy a new house with a BIGGER GARAGE!!

Wowza, what a difference! Great job for a guy--that's my opinion. :-) Our garage looks OK–not much room once we park two cars in there–but our basement looked worse until my fabulous husband started cleaning it last week.

I remember one time when our apartment at Bible School was shown to prospective students after Greg and Ema had been sick for a week and we had just come back from a retreat. Very scary. I do not think think there was a blank spot on one of those 350 square feet. But I know you know where to find pretty much whatever it is you need from the garage. My desk is the same way. To the uninformed outside observer, a mess of piles and clutter. But you ask me where something is and I will find it for you. I may have to shuffle piles to do it, but it is there! Just keep a place for us to crash! :) Not offended at all about the 'boring' comment on our blog. You were right, it was boring looking.

I'm awful about just tossing junk out the door into the black pit that is our garage. Somehow I think it will magically disappear from existence. I love the beautiful glazed garage floors, maybe if we did that to our garage I'd have a newfound respect for it... My garage is a nightmare!

It's detached and the door doesn't work well, so we've never put our car in there. Not that we ever could, because it's full of stuff. We sort of clean it out once a year when they have neighborhood clean up. I love the "Tool Treasure Hunt." Our girls used to play "Adventure Explorer" in our basement, going through the stuff and seeing what they could discover. Yep, we’ve got a garage like that too.
