In December of last year, I moved into a new place. Unlike the old house, this one has a garage (the old one had a driveway, and the master bedroom was converted from the garage). It's a smallish 3 car, in that I couldn't fit 3 full size cars or trucks inside - it's got a 16 foot door and an 8 foot door. The 16 footer has a motor, while the 8 footer is manual.
I'm fortunate in that I only have one relatively large car (not pictured, but is an Infiniti M35):
It came with many storage things, none of which were well thought out or constructed. This set of shelves nearly kept the 300ZX from fitting in the garage at all:
This shows the other set of shelves which was knocked up beside where the car should park, and was an issue in getting my daughter in and out of the Infiniti. It also features the Cabinet-of-dubious-construction (the yellow thing in the front, fabricated entirely of particle board, without a back, but nailed into the studs):
It also has a bunch of shoddy sheetrock work. I suspect that someone long on ambition but short on talent decided that the unsheetrocked parts of the garage needed insulation and rock, but didn't see it all the way through. I aim to change that.
Today was demolition day. I ended it like this:
When the water heater goes (and it likely won't be long), I plan to replace the furnace with a sealed combustion unit and the water heater with a condensing sealed combustion tankless unit, so I can get rid of the floor vent and huge vent stack (it's a 6" flue inside a 12" air return).
