No room inside the garage. I use the term garage loosely. It does have a big
door that goes up and down. It's not big enough to hold a car. Maybe a Smart
Car would fit. And it retains heat like an oven this time of year. Was out
painting again. It's chilly now but will get warm again and hotter still as
the days go on.
