Keep your winter accident free—park the car in the garage

Keep your winter accident free—park the car in the garage
With an organized garage, there’s room for everything, even the car

March 14, 2011, TORONTO – Winter mornings are frustrating when you leave for work, and discover the vehicle covered in snow with no time to clean it—parking the car in the garage would have prevented this.

Whenever severe snow conditions exist, a decision is required that directly impacts safety. In order to get to work or school on time, does one leave with a snow covered vehicle, or take the time to scrape it off and risk being late.

“Decisions such as these wouldn’t be necessary had the car been parked in the garage,” says Aaron Cash, founder of Garage Living. “Unfortunately, many garages with their endless supply of clutter have become the home’s abyss—a dark hole that has sucked in just about every piece of junk or unwanted item; except the car.”

While there are legal requirements that surround a driver’s visibility, still hundreds of people drive off in the morning without having cleaned off their windows—this puts them and others at risk. The other solution, while the better choice, has its own temptation—taking the time to scrape off the ice and snow puts one behind schedule, and as a result, there is a temptation to rush and drive faster than the conditions allow.

“Over the past several years, I’ve observed firsthand how an attractive, uncluttered, organized garage provides a homeowner with benefits that enhance their lifestyle, and accident prevention is just one more benefit to add to the list,” says Aaron Cash. “Simply by installing wall organization systems that efficiently use the wall space, all clutter can be removed from the garage floor, organized and then neatly stored, while leaving room to park the family car.”

Being able to drive a car right out from the protected shelter of a garage not only saves time, but because the windows are free and clear of ice and snow, increases a driver’s visibility, thus enhancing safety.

“Parking the car in the garage during winter does result in salt infused slush and snow to melt on the garage floor,” says Aaron. “However, installing a floor covering, such as our Rhino Floor Coating, protects the garage floor from corrosion and makes it easy to keep the floor clean and visually appealing all winter long.”

Garage Living helps cottage owners stay organized

As we approach the long weekend, many families in the GTA will be travelling to cottage country for a relaxing get-away.

A cottage get-away can involve many activities.
- Building a campfire
- Roasting hotdogs on sticks for supper
- Making s'mores
- Going boating
- Repair and maintenance work on the cottage

The bottom line is, a cottage should be a respite from the hectic day-to-day life of living in the city or suburbs.

Having done work on many homes and garages in the GTA, Garage Living has been getting referrals to homes in cottage country - Muskoka, Barrie (Lake Simcoe), Collingwood, Orillia, etc. They've brought their garage organization and storage expertise to cottage boat houses - helping cottage owners spend less time tidying or cleaning and more time on fun family activities.

Garage Living shows how auto storage at home can pay - tax free

When a garage is more than just a garage
Garage Living shows how auto storage at home can pay - tax free

February 1, 2010, TORONTO - For a few years now, homeowners have begun to realize the potential of a garage, but for the discerning owner with a collector vehicle, vintage or elite sports car, a custom designed and fitted garage has a huge upside - it's an investment that pays back.

Putting a car in storage for the winter can be a costly venture, as it's an expense that reoccurs annually. While winter storage protects a vehicle and preserves the investment, the cost is unredeemable. Retrofitting a home's garage does quite the opposite - not only can it be designed to protect expensive vehicles; any increase to a home's value is a tax-free benefit to the homeowner.

"Typically, the ongoing expense of winter storage of vehicles, far surpass the cost of retrofitting a home's garage," says Aaron Cash. "By making use of the walls and ceiling it is easy to increase the useable floor space and improve the curb appeal of the home and garage for much less."

By keeping the car close and accessible, it's convenient for use or to perform off-season improvements.

"There are so many benefits to garage storage and organization, however, for the homeowner that's used to paying out of pocket for seasonal vehicle storage, there's a huge upside when it's stored at home," says Aaron. "The costs associated with turning a home's garage into the ideal storage facility merely become an investment into one's primary residence - an investment that's fully redeemable at a later time."

In addition to supplying and installing wall organizers, overhead storage units and flooring products, Garage Living also offers car lifts that can be used to store a seasonal vehicle while still allowing other vehicles to be parked inside. This is the most popular and reliable lift in North America, and does not need to be anchored to the floor. With three drip trays, one jack tray, a caster kit and ability to safely store vehicles both on top and beneath the lift, it is clearly multi-functional.

Should you want to learn more, Garage Living will be an exhibitor at the Canadian National Auto Show, February 12 - 21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre or go to www.garageliving.ca.
