About ten years ago, my husband and I were able to purchase our very first home with a large three car garage attached to it.
We had the money saved up for a few years prior to purchasing our dream home, but it took quite awhile for my husband to find a house with an attached garage that he actually liked.
We are so thankful to have found the home we are in now. It is just beautiful, and the garage is perfect for my husband. My favorite part is the beautiful country we are surrounded by, but he could care less as long as he has his garage. Although the garage was attached, it was not heated. This was my husband’s only issue with the house when we bought it. However, he knew that he could add some sort of heating to the garage at least enough to keep him from freezing during the winter months. He literally spends hours a day in his garage working on small motors, so it was really important to him to be able to heat the place. After weighing a couple different options, my husband decided that he wanted to leave the garage without heat and simply use a kerosene heater during the winter months. It wasn’t long into the winter before he realized that his one little kerosene heater wasn’t going to cut it. We live way up North, and the winters are brutal. He purchased two more heaters, and with the three going, he is able to stay comfortable in his beloved garage. I’m so glad he gets to continue spending time doing what he loves!
