1. Insulate your garage
Adding insulation to your garage’s walls and ceiling makes sense if you live in an area with extreme temperatures. In fact, this is probably the first thing you should do before anything else. By insulating it, you will have climate control that will help protect all the items stored in your garage, especially during the cold season.
Add weather stripping to the bottom and sides of the door to insulate it as well and stop drafts. A properly vented attached garage will prevent carbon monoxide from leaking into the house. Don’t forget to put in a smoke detector to warn you of dangerous situations!

I’m not trying to make any body green with envy. I want to fit my car into the garage and right now if I was able to drive my car into the garage, I would not be able to get out of the car. There is maybe one hundred inches to park the car in the garage and my car would require at least 90 inches. I would need another 40 to 50 inches to open the driver’s side door and get out of the car, walk to the back of the car, open the trunk or maybe the side passenger door and get the groceries bags out or whatever I came home with.
I am about to move into a home with a super small garage so , like my daughter did we are going up in the garage, I am excited to get the lift for items and the shelving put in with a complete floor above the cars this will help at least for Christmas things and such, we are older so we don’t have kids living at home but we seem to have things we need to be able to get to.
I Love a lot of the ideas here as I could use a lot more room in my garage for my car as well
