Garages are cool as fuck. Great workplaces. Great storage. In the winter they’re good for storing root vegetables and beer at a nice temperature. Garage sans car is a garage living its best life.
ive heard that its a bad place to store chemicals in and stuff cause it can get into your house and affect your lungs. apparently its the most likely reason why your house’s air quality is bad. but i assume if you dont keep your car on in the garage and keep the door open to air out stuff regularly while having an airtight access door / walls its probably fine
Yeah ideally you want to keep the really toxic stuff in an outhouse with a cement floor kinda situation. Airing things out is always good. Shit just accumulates. You get enough dust in there you can get the chemicals to actually like spill or leak into the dust, dry out, and now you can inhale that dust. Not good.
Edit: I once came across this metal tin of the most toxic fucking paint remover I have ever seen at a place I used to work at. Corporate sent it to us for graffiti remover. I pulled the little report off the thing and read it. That stuff was so toxic we didn’t even have the right gloves to handle it. It didn’t have a name. It was called like ZS-256 or some shit. You could have poured this one small half gallon tin in a lake and you’d kill every fucking thing in it. They left it near the mop sink! First thing I did after folding up the sheet of details was glove up and put that fucker in the electrical panel on the outside of the building. I was the resident OSHA nerd but we were union so I got to power trip a bit when management did bullshit like that. Haven’t thought about that in years but it does kinda apply here. We never used that tin. I made management send it back.
Edit 2: At that same job I came across another safety data sheet that made me call up my friend in med school to ask “yo, so what exactly is ‘pulmonary edema.’” Fun times with chems. Never ever take a job in the petrol industry if you can help it. The level of chemical exposure is awful.
