Too many people with way too much "stuff" that I "might" use later. Park the cars in the garage. Not having to scrape the car and having it be relatively warm is a creature comfort I am not willing to do without.
I'm puzzled

I am in the process of building new home. I thought I was close financially last year, but didn't like the numbers. My contractor said if you delete the 3 car garage, the numbers will work for you. I laughed and said I'll wait!

The last house I bought I wouldn't even look at a house unless it had a garage and a shop. No shop, not interested. I ended up with a two car with shop space and a separate shop. By a happy coincidence, I bought the house that had the most shop space of all the houses I looked at.

I did the exact same thing, I wanted a garage at least, if the house had a barn awesome, the house I bought has a 2 car attached and two barns, more than any house I looked at previous. Oddly enough the barns don't really raise the value of the house much so I'm like cool, less taxes lol.

Well since neither the shop or the garage is considered living space, there is no property tax hit on those. Nor is my 15 X 40+ foot man cave.

I am 76 years old, and when I was about 2, my mother taught me to put my toys away at night.
I have 3 Ford tractors, one riding mower, a Gravely, a cargo trailer, a beavertail trailer, a dump trailer, 6 cars, 2 PU trucks, 2 boats, plus implements, and PLENTY of other stuff. Even a 1902 doctor buggy (which I need to sell).
EVERYTHING sleeps inside EVERY NIGHT!

I park things inside according to $$$ value. I have a JD lawn mower that is outside under a cover. My vehicles, ATV and tractor are parked inside. My neighbor parks his $60k SUV outside and his $1500.00 golf cart in the garage. To each his own I guess....

I park my stuff inside based on how easy they are to steal, motorcycles, lawn mowers ext are in the garage, cars outside for the most part. I won't set attachments and small trailers out now for this reason, a 4x7 trailer with a gate disappeared about 6 months after I moved in, never seen that trailer again, not worth enough to turn it into insurance so I just took a loss on it. After that it's all locked down, windows covered ext.

The mower is in a locked fence out of sight. Actually, the homeowner theft crime rate has seemed to go down since Wyoming outlawed having to have a permit to concealed carry.

Same thing when my MIL died. I took 85 heaping loads with my F250 8' bed to Goodwill and the dump. Not to mention the stuff I put in the yard with a "free" sign on it. We all save things but when people get to saving ketchup packs inside napkins, inside McDonalds cups, inside Tupperware, inside boxes, inside tubs, they should come to realize that someone else is going to have to deal with the "collection".
