Thanks! I really enjoyed your article. When I was a kid, growing up in Canada, we had a basement that held all the junk plus the chest freezer for the half-steer we'd buy from a local farmer and have butchered and all the frozen fruit and veg from our garden. There was also junk down there. We squeeze two cars into a one-car garage so we didn't have room for the junk in there. As someone else commented, it's either a basement or a garage if you have junk, but it's really, really nice in a cold climate to keep the frost off the windshield!
