Car barns are more likely to be used as they are 'drive straight in' unlike most garages with doors. The irony, as i see it, is numerous car barns where my daughter lives have been enclos...

As a (very) much younger man, i was always envious of the pit in my Father's garage . A previous owner of the property must have had it dug out. It was tile lined and had power.
