It is quite usual to see houses with a garage, either attached to the house itself, with a door giving access to the garage from the house, or free standing, being a separate building apart from the house. The truth be told, have you ever wondered how many of these garages are actually used to house vehicles, as they are supposed to, and how many are used for storage, as overflows from the main living area? I do not know the answer to that, but I could guess a large percentage are used for storage space alone.
