Re: Garage Ideas
I live in an 'unrestricted area'
Though my thought was not hazardous waste, I was thinking soapy water from
washing my car, maybe a little dust or dirt now and again.
The HW is a good thing to think of when it comes to permits - I missed it
completely.

Re: Garage Ideas
OH OH OH!!!!
That brings to mind!
Make storage in the rafters, like an open attic. We did that in our last
house, made a helluva difference in the clutter department.
You can store all that stuff that you only access a couple of times a year.
Works GREAT!
