my garages are pretty clean , not to much clutter, but at this time of year floor is loaded with sand and salt from the roads. hard to work out there as it is too cold, leave that for the summer when the temps warm up to 70 deg. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a two car attached garage, and as of a month ago, we can get two cars in it. I think that's pretty impressive. I think we were able to do that for about a month a few years ago too. Of course I had to build an extra garage in the back yard to accomodate some of the stuff -- oh and a 8X8 shed.

My primary garage is a 24X36 detached building with a single 16 foot OH door. We use it for the wife's summer driver car which is stored right now, plus our regular car. Being retired, I have plenty of time to keep it orderly, although it currently has about a thousand dollars worth of lumber stored in there.
My small barn is the same size but has an upper floor, I store my GMC and JD in there along with two ATV's and my utility trailer. To get all those inside it obviously HAS to be clean.
By clean I mean organized and free of junk...NOBODY who drives in Michigan winters is gonna have a clean garage floor this time of the year. Especially if you have a sod driveway like me.

Its pretty amazing we spend so much on our homes and their size to house JUNK. I like my toys but I refused to build a garage so i can keep fence material, lumber, and whatever else I can come home with. I have a a lumber yard and a hardware store that stores most of that stuff for free. Any left overs from get thrown in the back of the field.

I read something one time that only in America do we fill our garages with useless junk so our $40,000 new vehicle can sit outside, exposed to the elements.
