    We're on a well and I am looking to get a water softener for the water. Its not hard, we've had it tested 3 different times in the past 3 months and the hardness ranges between 9-12. Have just trace elements of iron & sulphur (can smell/taste sulf but just barely) so nothing is excessive. I've...

    What are the average single car garage sizes around the world?

    Garages in Canada (at least Ontario) have gotten smaller over the years. It may also have to do with the cars getting smaller from the boats we used to drive up to the late 70's .
