> But there’s always a bright side. I love the convenience of using the garage as a fridge, avoiding clutter in the actual refrigerator. I currently have in the garage: two cases of bottled water, three cases of Coke Zero, a dozen eggs, a bottle of white wine, a large pizza, and, needless to say, two large vats of clamato juice for Caesars! The garage is beginning to look like a grocery store which for some reason has a car in it. It will be a tough adjustment when the weather warms up.

To continue the posts about using the garage as cold storage in the winter, we do this (we refer to it as “the walk-in freezer”). Like **wolfpup** ours is adjacent to interior walls/floors on three sides, but I also have a small cube heater on a shelf at waist height, plugged into a thermostatically controlled adapter plug set to 5ºC. I got it at a farm supply store, but they can likely be found at hardware stores as well. It keeps the temperature above freezing.
