Hi! Thank you much for your reply. It's mostly keeping empty storage bins and boxes (for future moves). I will keep Christmas up there but I put it up against the back wall. I don't intend on walking up there (my son-in-law does that, but only to retrieve something. It's 25' long. When the...

That's why I let my son-in-law do all the garage nonsense!

Are you too shy to ask yourself? I had to have my son-in-law help me figure that out but my photo should now be on my profile. Thank you for all being experts in this field. If you boys need advice on quilting...then I can return the favor.

YOun are right about the advice! I can't beleive how many responded in just a few hours. And they all seem to have the same advice which makes this so much less stressful when deciding what to do. I'll listen to the experts!

Hello. I live in MN and have a 25 x 22 garage - finished with drywall and all. But the attic...I'm wondering if using my garage heater is working overtime because the attic is not insulated. But I also need to put a floor down to use as storage. Are there areas I should avoid insulation or floor...
