    Only those people who have committed themselves to the whole "tiny homes" ideology. If their idea of the ideal home size is equivalent to the size of a storage shed I would imagine a Kenmore refrigerator box would be a suitable garage size for their Smart Car.

    BTW Art, I saw you were in need of an avatar for your posts so I found you one I thought was appropriate.

    I have a one stall garage, and have dreams of a 3 stall - DEEP - garage. A place to work on my motorcycle, a place to work on my guns, a place to work on my cars, and store the rest of my toys.

    ah...dreams....

    Only time I have ever wished for that was when I was moving.

    I'm tempted to reach through the internet and throttle you for even joking such a thing!

    Its got little to do with how big it is and lots to do with how organized it is to a point at least.
    With a smaller garage its easier to say (no) to other family members stuff.
    And if you can keep others out, its also easier to find your own stuff.

    I had both, I think we humans tend to fill in the space we have. Space is something one gets used to. I have lived in Japan in Apts that will easily fit inside my living room. But I never felt I was cramped in those.
    When I get my heating bill in Dec/Jan/Feb I have a few thoughts about downsizing but that is short lived :-)

    "I wish I had a smaller garage/shop" ---Said no one ever! Lol.
    I think Stockrex is right. You live in what you have. I enjoy having plenty of space though. Before I got my gun room done, I had my reloading room where I did all my gun chores (before I started putting together my own). The room is really small (like 7x8 small). I would have to turn my guns at an angle to clean them to keep from hitting my cleaning rod against the walls....lol. I made due because thats what I had. Cleaned them that way until I got my gun room done.....now its so much nicer to have room to move lol.
    Yobuck is spot on with the organization thing, makes a HUGE difference.
