While mine may be twice as big, I still hate my garage! And it's my own fault for having too much stuff in there! We have been remodeling the house for some time -- next project must be the garage!

Mine is even smaller. I put carpet on the wall where I open the door. But at least the car is inside.

Default You Think YOURS is Small...



Garage, I mean... Here is what you see under "shoebox" in Webster's...
