I've been in this house all of two months! LOL. My husband and I had a house in Pflugerville a few years ago that had a 2.5 car garage: it was AWESOME! Sadly those are not as common up here in DFW so we're making do with the 2 car and had to downsize what we keep in the garage. We also haven't had a lifetime to accumulate STUFF and after growing up in a home with a borderline hoarder, I intend to keep it that way. Wink

I'm keeping an eye on the Forum from a location near Las Vegas. Will be back home tomorrow night. The doors on my garage go horizontal when they open, so I can't use the hoists for storing bikes. Might install eyebolts on the back of one door and use one when I'm working on a bike and take both wheels off. Haven't seen those hoists in a Harbor Freight store, but wasn't specifically looking for them.

We may have crossed paths. Drove to old gold mining towns of Rhyolite, Goldfield, and Tonopah, NV; then drove back South and entered Death Valley via Hy 72. Exited Death Valley and drove through Pahrump on Hy 52 on the way back to Las Vegas. Had a great dinner in Terrible's Town Casino in Pahrump.
