At least you have a cab in the house. Because my garage isn't ready for anything larger than a shoe, most my cabs are outside in the shed. Screw the lawnmower, keeping the cabs dry is way more important.

I have the same setup as FrizzleFried, a 2+1. Unfortunately the previous owner was an absolute moron and made it so narrow that I once I get the last cab in, I'll never get the first out again. Plus my GF has turned it into her glass shop and I have to store my PC equipment in there. ZERO ROOM. I had a third bedroom to myself as javeryh  describes, but that has since been lost. Current plans are to take over 1/2 of the remaining garage or to expand and improve the shed. I figure the costs would be the same for either, but obtaining permits for the shed is pushing me to take over the garage.  :dunno

If all else fails, I'll move the ---smurfing--- cabs into the pseudo-attic if I have to.

I FINALLY got a game into the house from the garage. I'll snap a few pics of the temp gameroom set up for my daughters Bday party tommorrow.

I had two upright jamma cabs in our dining room. The g/f was thrilled when I got rid of them to get a single cab.

Imagine how popular I was when she came home from work to find a dynamo showcase type cab in there (the room measures about 12' x 8')  :dizzy:

Actually my cab isn't quite in the house yet...  It lives out in the garage, but that will eventually be turned into an additional room.  We are working on getting offers from contractors now or thinking about doing it our selves.  So, eventually I will have a gameroom, or at least an entertainment area.
