We had them installed in our last house and I loved them. This was a house with limited storage and in FL so no basement. Our 2 car garage was too narrow for shelving or cabinets on the sides and still fit both cars. It was perfect for storing Christmas decorations and things the other half never used but wouldn't part with. Ours only had access on 2 sides but that didn't seem to be an issue. Since I always got DH's help getting stuff down & it was only the 2 of us living there I didn't worry about the door accidentally being opened while one of us was up there. If you are worried about that you could always pull the cord to temporarily disengage the opener. Yeah it's no good for items you need frequent access to, but for us it was a good solution to store seasonal/never used stuff.

hi there, I have a Liebherr, although a different model, and can help with the one issue: the water collecting along the back bottom inside of the fridge. It shouldn't be doing this, and it means that the little vent hole is plugged up for some reason. Liebherrs are German and have the European system of collecting the condensation on the inside of the fridge rather than behind the back panel -- it feels strange and even 'broken' for Americans, but it does help keep produce and vegetables fresh for much longer than the US fridges. The hole should be somewhere in the left bottom inside of the fridge, right above the little molded 'shelf'. It will probably have black gunk or ice clogging it. Take a q-tip and gently clean it out, just like a baby's ear. (Except unlike a baby, you can stick the q-tip in as far as it will go and swirl it around.) You'll see the water drain almost immediately. Freezer: the drawers in my Liebherr freezer pull all the way out so you can store them elsewhere and just use the shelves. If they drive you crazy, try removing them altogether and storing them? I don't have the icemaker and I hear it's the one part of a Liebherr that's most likely to break, since it was put in only for their American market and the Germans don't have the hang of the design yet. ;-) As far as the temperature goes, mine doesn't have the gallon door shelf, so can't help you there, but it sounds like the temperature isn't regulated correctly. Try setting the temperature slightly lower - you just click on the arrow buttons on the digital display above the doors. Good luck! You can always download the manual for your model online for more help. You can't break the thing by just adjusting the temperatures, so don't be shy!

If you contact a garage remodeling company probably you will get a number of options. We park car in our garage so there isn't much space for storage but I have seen many people turn their garage into a really good storage space. Do you want something like this http://www.garageliving.ca/garage-products/overhead-storage/

We built an 'oversized' one car garage, at 16' wide, and it's barely big enough. Cars today are wide. We're looking at a small SUV, and they're about 6' wide; the same as my wife's Olds 88. We're renting a minivan (long story), and I found it tricky to get the huge rolling garbage bin past it to take the trash out. All we have in the garage is the car, trash bin, BBQ grill, and a small tool chest. For a two car garage, 24' would be the absolute minimum for average-sized cars, parked in exactly the right spot. For any other storage, add another 4'.
