Q: Should there be a gap under the garage door?

• <div><p>No, there should not be a gap between the garage door and the floor. This gap can allow rodents and insects to infest your home. It also creates an entryway for rain and melted snow that can damage your home's foundation or cause mold issues. Finally, leaving a gap will increase your energy bills by allowing heat to escape more easily. If you're looking for something more airy, consider one of the many <a href="https://angi.com/articles/garage-door-alternatives.htm">garage door alternatives</a>.</p></div>

Q: How many square feet is an average two-car garage?

• <div><p>An <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/2-car-garage-size.htm">average two-car garage size</a> is about 580 square feet. A common dimension for a two-car garage is 24-feet deep by 24-feet wide, as measured by the interior width. However, the manufacturing of larger vehicle sizes means many homeowners want to build bigger garages. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for a two-car garage to be 30-feet by 30-feet.</p></div>

Q: How long after painting can you open the garage door?

• <div><p>You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though&mdash;if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. </p></div>

Q: Can you put regular cabinets in the garage?

• <div><p>Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: How does a garage affect the value of my home?

• <div><p>Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. </p><p>If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.</p></div>

They charged $20 a day plus mileage. I think it was 59 cents a mile. The total charge was like $175. I think I had it for three days. I liked that it was easy to get in and out of. It had doors in the back and doors in the side. I would tell U-Haul to lower the price per mile to 29 cents instead...
