Why?

why do Uk house builders build garages that are to small to open the bloody doors on eitherside



I'm sorry to tell you that the UK house builders don't have the market on this issue.

I used to live in a $100,000 house with a "2 car garage." There was a huge pole right in the middle of the garage. To avoid beating the hell out of your car door, you tried to park further away from it, but ended up hitting a wall instead. And I owned a tiny Mustang convertible at the time.

When we bought a truck, we just gave up. The doorway wasn't high enough because of the angle of the driveway, to not possibly hit the top of your truck as you went over the edging of the doorway...and then it was a 4-door truck, so you had MORE doors to beat the hell out of. B|

Needless to say, the garage is now a storage place and all the vehicles are out in the weather. >:(

We all know wool itches...why don't sheep scratch?

& why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

If you put a sheep in a dryer will it come out with a fro?



Now where is Clay the sheepboy when you need good sheep answers? :)

I dont think you guys are the only ones who use your garage for storage...
As put by yet another great "Why?"

Why do we put worthless junk in the safety of the garage, and leave expensive vehicles outside?

of course... you hit the main answer to that one already thou... :P

"Why can't a large group of skydivers bring LM to better solution to removing a raccoon from a chimney other than to smoke him out?"

One that will probably remain unanswered for years to come...

Sad but undoubtedly true.....

True...true...if you did, you'd be jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, right? ;)

I need to go back and read the rest of that thread. I think I must've missed something.

Pretty much what we do here too. When my wife and I bought this house, it had a nice two car garage that we could park both our Tundra truck and Mazda car in reasonably comfortably, even with the pole in the middle. I wrapped the pole with a sheet of rubber foam so I didn't have to worry about dinging the door on the pole. However, one of our cats shredded the foam with his claws.

The garage ended up filling up with junk and we didn't have any room at all for a while, until I did a major spring cleaning in there and finally had room to put our MR2 Spyder in there, then we traded that in for a Pontiac Vibe and it's been sitting in the driveway most of the time. I can get any of our cars into that one available space in the garage, but it's just easier to park on the driveway. :|

Ain't that what I suggested in that thread?? :D:D
