Why do people turn there garages into TV rooms? A few houses in my neighborhood do it and now my neighbor has too. It’s only him, his wife and two small children in a two story 3000 sq ft house. He has plenty of room inside, yet he’s converted his garage with a rug, couch and a large screen TV with, annoyingly enough, bright LED lights strung around the periphery of the screen. 
I guess you can get away with it this time of year, but I’ll be damned if my [BLEEP] will be sitting in a garage watching TV in July. But then again, I have no urge at any time of year to sit in my garage when I have a climate controlled house to lounge in.

I’ve got a couple neighbors that do that too. Complete with the screen around the overhead door opening.   I chalked it up to “man cave” until I realized one did it and they weren’t partiers and that he and his wife were just chilling in the garage.  I don’t get it either.  My idea of relaxing and fun is being out back on my patio where I have privacy.  I look forward to it at times. Seems like these people they can’t wait to get to the garage. 

I had a Tv in my garage at one point.  But it was mostly there because I wanted another super Joey so I could dvr more without conflicts.  That was years ago and I don’t have it anymore.  I did try to catch a cubs game when they were in the WS.  And I had the garage door shut and hoodie on and froze my butt off.
