Dear James: We have a standard two-car garage. I plan to add some extra storage space with loft shelving over the car hoods. Does this make sense, and how do I build it?—Tony Z.
Dear Tony: Your storage idea makes a lot of sense, and many professional storage contractors do exactly this. There’s a huge amount of wasted space there that can be utilized for storage. You should still have plenty of clearance to open the car hood for maintenance.
