I have one o' them fancy "modern middle class homes" and I can fit three Odysseys in my garage. But I'm sure I couldn't fit a single Excursion. Three-car garage was the deciding factor on this home purchase. Two cars, and the third bay is my shop.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by adam1991:

I love your garage MORE than my Ody!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by groupset:
I love my garage almost as much as my Odyssey - when we built our house 2 years ago, had the architect plan the three car garage with 1 ft. taller and 6 inch wider doors than standard. Also had an additional 4 ft. added to one end. </font>
Now why didn't I think of that?? My Explorer tailgate hits my garage door when I open it, this may be why my rear windshield wiper is "broke" and misses the middle portion of the glass. How did you attach the insulation to the door? I love this site!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by darelldd:
While we await a REAL answer to your question, I'll fill time with a suggestion: Install some sort of padding on the inside of the garage door. I've used pipe-insulation with excellent results.

Would he notice if you parked your lawn tractor<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by tomhan:

I've spent many happy hours in that garage, Chuck! I'm still kicking myself for not running TV cable out there during construction. (I do have a phone at my work bench. And I failed to mention the utility sink installed on one end.) The walls and garage doors are insulated, too, which makes for more comfortable ping-pong games in the winter.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by ckonarske:

Good thinking Maugham. I lock my kids up in there at night. Guess he wouldn't notice the tractor either. At least not until spring.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Maugham:

And if the 16-year-old learned to be happy just driving the tractor, you're set.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by tomhan:

My friend has an old single-panel monstrosity (garage door) with 2x4 supports running top to bottom. We just slit the foam and "clamped" it around the appropriate 2x4s - it just holds itself on with friction. On my metal roll-up doors, I used some spray adhesive on the foam and on the door. I've had it there for four years so far.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by czygmont:
