Default Building a new shop: 'Shed' or garage?

(Mike Reed) wrote in message . com...
If you banish the cars, then you live in a house with a parking lot
out front. Cars are not attractive landscaping (even nice ones).

UV-faded cars are even less attractive, and not keeping them in the
garage lowers resale value.

I understand how the priorities are different for different folks,
especially here in Texas where nobody digs basements when they build a
house. A garage is an attractive storage solution.

My $0.02.

Heck, even best case senerio I could only get two cars in the garage.
With my truck, my wife's van, my son's car and my daughters car, all I
would accomplish is hiding two of them. Then I would never get them
out because the remaining two would be blocking them in. I have a nice
concrete two lane driveway that could easily hold 8 or more cars. My
family's cars are reasonably late model (1999 to 2002) and not on
blocks. I admit I don't care if the neighbors would prefer all cars to
be hidden. Lastly as I said earlier it is seldom sunny in Pittsburgh
so UV isn't a concern - chipping off ice can be though
