You guys.

I don’t know why I haven’t thought about this before.

Our intention for the new garage (name still pending!) is to store tools, building supplies, equipment, the Datsun, and to have a workspace. Right now, one of the stalls in our two car attached garage is used for tools, supplies, and equipment, and Steven parks his Volvo in the driveway (the Datsun is in storage in another town). I’ve been really excited about how much more space we are going to have in our attached garage to get around, when just our cars are in there. It’s so cramped right now.

I’ve been so excited about the potential future space in our existing attached garage that I haven’t been thinking too much about what will be in the new garage, and what I actually might used that is stored in there.

BUT GUYS.

I can put our bikes in there!

I currently store them all in the basement, and the mountain bikes are a pain to get up and down the stairs and out the door. If I keep them in the garage outside, I can just open the door and bring them right out! (You know, for those two times a years I use them.) THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING!

OH EM GEE!

(Seriously, why did I not think about this until today?)

And if I ever decide to follow the bike equation of how many bikes you need (n +1, with n = the amount of bikes you currently own) I will have room to expand! And we could store things like kayaks. And other sporty equipment we will use once a year. Ha.

I am so glad we’re building the garage to be so big. I mean, we definitely want to build an actual workshop with a guest house down the road, but this will work for now (for the workshop).
