Hi Susan,
My DW has given me no option in this matter, she will be parking her van in the attached garage. She goes to work earlier in the morning than I do so it is actually easier for both of us, especially in the winter (no snow, ice or starting problems). Occasionally I fill the garage with large camping items from our youth group trips for the short-term, but I do hear about it from her. The sides of this garage are filled with a snowmobile, chainsaw box and more regular household items; the rear shed is where I store most of my large outdoor equipment (wall tents, stoves, ATV, treestands, outboard motors, bikes, etc).
It is really the residence basement storage area that I need to redesign for smaller outdoor equipment, preparedness supplies and clothing.
Bottom-line is that I have just too much stuff.
Thanks,
Mike
