Tigraf plenty have done this. Your best bet might be to search through the bronco forum.

I have the opposite, my dad believes the garage is only for cars, and he dosnt let me keep any tools in there or work on my truck in there. parking only. I managed to get a shed that I keep my tools in, and I work on the driveway.

My wife learned a long time ago that Garages are not for parking cars. If a car is in the garage it is being worked on. There has been conversation about putting this or that in the garage. That have gone no where. After 14 years of marriage, My wife has grown to apreciate the things that go on in the garage. Saving us hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the years. I have a 24 X 24 garage that is too small. We bought the house that we have lived in and the first item on the agenda is to expand the garage so that I have more room. Prety cool hu.

Well, guess I have to chime in here now. When the wife and I bought the house, it had an attached 26 X 32 garage. It was set at that time that the house was hers and the garage is mine.

We are at this time storing the son's S-10 (sorry about that), in the garge while he is serving our country in the Air Force across the big pond. Even when it was not in there, guess whose vehicle is parked in the garage and whose is outside. The first two guesses do not count. Danged JEEP (another YUCK!).

She also has this strange habit of putting stuff that needs to be thrown out right in front of the door (expecting me to fall over it) or all over my work benches. I can clean them up and by some strange miracle, the next day, they are cover again with her junk.

This has been going on now for over twelve years. Guess she has got me whipped.

A minor sacrifice considering where he is and what he is doing. If you were a real nice Dad, you could welcome him home to a new Explorer in the garage

I think he is planning on giving the S-10 to his sister. I could hear him drool after his his mom sent him a pic of the SD I bought. I figure I will help him in buying himself a new SD when he gets back home.

I have decided that the wife will use the garage only as a matter of convienence. If it is inconvienent to use it, she no longer will. So here's the plan. All that are considering buying a house or otherwise moving into a new place, make sure you get a detached garage at least farther away than the end of your driveway and in the oppostie direction. This way, trash does not migrate back to the sanctuary. Also, make sure it has no electric garage door opener and that it has one of the big, two car wide doors. Make sure the actual doorway is in the back and that it sticks a little. Put lots of pictures of nudy girls and your favorite frosty beverage up on the walls. And most importantly, make it smell like a garage; oil, gas, parts cleaner, solvent, etc. You know how the women like pretty smelling stuff.

If all else fails......ah heck with it, give her some money to redo the bedroom.

Well..now that I don't have a wife anymore.....(whoooppeeee) the junk material transformation evaporation device don't get used much anymore...lol. Actually even before we split up she barely set foot in the garage unless she needed a tool for something, or her garden stuff. I can't complain about her ( at least as far as the garage went ). Looks like I am or was one of the lucky ones in here.
