Could you add storage someplace? If you have a garage, could you build a loft and store things there? Add a shed?

That's what we are planning. The space above the garage can be finished, and we can add a doorway through the twins' bedroom. That way it will be a much more convenient storage space--similar to a step-out attic, but it will be a step-out finished room about the size of a one car garage. We have a two car garage which we normally keep our cars in, but the slope of the roof tapers in such a way that the space above the garage is about the size of a one car garage. Still, that will take a tremendous load off the rest of the house.scott715 wrote:Could you add storage someplace? If you have a garage, could you build a loft and store things there? Add a shed?
I read an article that said you should put anything you don't use regularly in storage. Once we finish that room above the garage, my plan is to go through the house and put anything we don't use regularly in that storage space...in an organized fashion. Getting rid of all the equipment that comes with babies should help too.
My wife likes our house. There is plenty of natural light, which we don't find in a lot of houses. It has some good size windows that are situated perfectly to catch the rising and setting sun. I am grateful she wants to make it work.
