[67ChevyRedneck]

Yeah, 2/3's of the right side is already full of Christmas stuff. My wife LOVES to decorate. We love our house, but even thought it's "modern" (built in 99) I feel we got gyped in storage. There's a small pantry under the staircase and a laundry room that leads to the garage, but no other storage downstairs. No area for coats or vacuum, etc.

The upstairs is the same, each room has a small closet and there's a small hall closet, but that's it. For the size of the house (I think 2,400sf) the storage is piss poor.

Forgot to mention that we had the roof replaced and one tiny area of plywood needed to be replaced. About 6" x 2' where a vine grew up the side of the house, under the gutter, and lifted the shingles (damn previous owners). When the bad piece was cut out I saw that the garage roof trusses had a brace that would prohibit my idea of cutting doors into the walls of the bonus room above the garage and using that for storage. Bummer, but glad I saw it before I cut sheetrock.

On the other side, I think I'm only going to do a double 24" shelf along the back wall because I want to be able to stack fenders and hoods along the sides. That will be my car junk side!
