S/O of S/O if you use you garage as storage

Dh has wood working in our garage,we have a riding mower, fridge and freezer in a not so large 2 car garage. Our basement is unfinished.

Our house is built slab-on-grade, so no crawl space or basement. We don't have an attic either.

All sports equipment, tools, gardening equipment, seasonal and holiday decor is stored in the garage. It is pretty well organized but doesn't leave any room for a car. Just the four bikes take up one stall.

I answered in the other thread that my side of the garage is now my home gym, but we have lots of nice shelving along the walls as well and it is also used as storage.

There are no basements in my area. They’d all be underground swimming pools eventually because we live on filled-in wetlands. It turns into jello underneath us during even a tiny earthquake. So exciting .

Basements are fairly uncommon here; I've never had one and can't think of anyone offhand who has one.

We do have some storage in our garage but there was always enough room for both cars until I converted half of it into a gym.

My garage houses my car AND is used for storage. I have shelves lining every wall with clamshell boxes full of random crap.

No basement, not the norm here. We have a detached, four bay, open front garage. Three bays are used for vehicles, the fourth stores an ATV and lawnmower.
We also have a large metal shop building with a loft across the yard (we have 110 acres) and that is used for storage and a workshop for equipment repairs.
Farm equipment is stored in separate barns and outbuildings.

Our garage 'is' the basement in a way -- it's under the main floor of the house and you come up a full flight of stairs. There's a storage area for the mower and yard tools beside the garage which can be accessed from a door inside the garage or by an outside door. Behind the garage, that lower level also has a finished room with a half-bath. The previous owners had it outfitted as a home gym complete with a full mirrored wall. We use it as the 'man cave' area.

Basements per se are not common in South Carolina. We had a full finished basement in our last house mostly due to it being a steeply sloped yard so the basement was ground level in the back of the house.

Edited to add we have no attic here. There's an attic pull-down but it just allows access for home maintenance/repair purposes.

What we do have is access under the house from the back of the home. The walk-in storage area as you first enter is all pool and garden related stuff. But there's a door at the back to a closed room which accesses one of the HVACs and one of the hot water heaters. It's plenty big enough for extra storage so I have the stuff I would normally have put in an attic in that area instead -- Christmas and seasonal decor, my childhood dollhouse, and so forth. It's dry and stays a comfortable temperature as it's under the house so it's pretty ideal storage.  

No basement (not a thing in our part of Texas), and too dang hot to use the attic for storage (again, Texas). We have a 3 car garage that holds 2 cars, as well as tools and storage.

We use our garage for storage and do have a basement but it's a finished basement, so it's additional living space-not storage space. Half of it is my office/craft space and the other half is the den. 

The only other storage place we have is a small attic that has part of a finished floor but also the side spaces of that floor aren't finished (if that makes sense) so it's a very small space. 

no garage, no basement, no attic...

Our current house has an unfinished basement, finished attic, 1 car detached (too small for modern car), and a garden shed. All three of those spaces is mostly filled with DH's stuff (some of the stuff in the basement is household stuff that doesn't belong to just one of us). but the majority is stuff that everyone is too lazy to throw away when it came into the house (boxes boxes boxes).

Texas gal here so no basement. We subscribe to the "garages are for parking cars" camp. We have a two car garage that not only has space for two cars, but also has three giant tool boxes, a wood working bench, a refrigerator, a chest freezer, an extra freezer, an air compressor and some storage cabinets. Everything in there is orgimai-ed very purposefully.

We have an attic (accessed from the middle of the stairs on the way up to the 2nd floor) but it's awkward to get large items in there, while standing on the stairs and there are no outlet so power tools and freezers wouldn't work, plus you can't stand up all the way up in the space... Our crawlspace is literally a space you can only crawl in (and it's icky).

Only really old houses around here seem to have basements (built before garages were a thing) in the PNW.

Garage is for storage and my husband’s tools and wood working stuff. Basements and attics are not typical here except for the very old houses.
