Tricking Out the Garage

摘要

Since the days of the Model-T Ford, the American garage has become an integral part of the house, sheltering our beloved cars in addition to providing a refuge for those escaping domestic bliss. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, we own about 65 million garages. And given everyone's interest in revitalizing their real-estate investment, those garages represent space waiting to be refined-if we can find the space. Let's face it, most of us are hard-pressed to find anything in the garage because it's stuffed with paper bags, trashcans, paint cans, soccer balls, baseballs, bikes, scooters, lumber, 100-lb. sacks of pet food, fertilizer, rakes, hoes, shovels, gloves, the odd chair awaiting a new finish, and the car, if it still fits. We know who we are.
