You guys are all doing it wrong. I drove my car off a cliff, and now I don't worry about whether it's icy.
No snow, no ice. Car was a comfy 54 degress F in the garage.
This reminds me. Do some people not park their cars in the garage because they use the garage as living space?
When I bought my house back in '97 my secretary asked if I was going to convert it into a living room. I thought she was joking. But do some people do this???
*checks INGO handbook* Well, that IS the correct way to do it.
I park my car outside due to strange driveway configuration. With the ice coming down, I need it to be ready to go in the morning.
i poured 10# of ice-melt salt on my car, concentrating on the metal panels that felt the coldest to me. Fortune favors the prepared
Garages do reflect the signs of the times. In the 30's and 40's people built garages to hold the single car they owned and parked next to the house. These were really pretty minimal in size.
In the late 60's and 70's, before socialism collapsed our economy, homes were built around a spacious (like 25 x 25 ft) two car garage designed to hold a couple of Chrysler or an Oldsmobile sized cars, and the plentiful sidewalk bikes and toys we were able to provide for our children through normal prosperity through normal work.
By the 2000's, prosperity was eaten up to keep funding the socialist welfare state and homes and garages shrank. Most newer construction homes have a 16' garage door, and you pay tax based on a two car garage, but you really do not have a 2 car garage. Sure, if you have some little 1/2 sized economy cars, you might squeeze two in, but if you have normal cars, IF you can get them in, there is not enough room to open the car doors to get out, even if vehicles are all that you keep in your garage.
I live in a little better neighborhood that has 3000 + square foot homes, and few of them have garages that can accomodate two full sized cars. The garages are a lot like our government leadership, they look like they should do the job, but they really come up short.
Since I ended up being the poor schmuck who bought the place, I'm glad my dad talked some sense into him.
Is there any paint left this morn?
Ok, I admit it, this was a joke post. I did put some on our driveway since the slope can be hard to walk on
