What They Like

All that built-in storage.

The energy-saving fluorescent lighting.

The floor, which is nice and clean — not an oil spot to be seen.

What They Dislike

The steel shelving, which became a clutter magnet.

The inability to fit even one car.

The garage guilt: The mess never made it off their to-do list.
