Oh no!! That would be rough! I had missed the story of how you broke your ankle (and was too lazy to go back and look. lol).

We don't have a ton in our basement, but if we had to keep it all in the garage we'd have a problem.)
My mom is constantly nagging me about the stuff in the garage (of which half is hers. lol!) because "Grandpa ALWAYS had his garage clean, and the cars were parked in it". Having a basement would be amazing. But, I don't think houses here have them. Houses in So Cal never had basements.

Hubby's truck will be on the driveway (which still sucks for snow, but at least it's not on the street and never knowing if we'll get a spot like our last house of 10 years!).
LOL! It's like playing Tetris trying to make space
...you know you HAVE to tell the story of the convertible now!
