Drinking isn't the problem there, Chuck.

Chuck, when we built our new house, one of the things I insisted on was an 18 foot double car garage opening instead of the standard 16 foot double opening. In addition, we have a 10 foot single garage door instead of the standard 8 foot opening. We prepared as much as possible for the blue haired, poor sighted drivers (that live here) as much as possible.

Ya, you’re probably right Al , that’s the only long term solution. And then we’ll have room to store the treadmills that are just collecting dust in the basement .
