[Shop-talk] Refrigerator

[Steven Trovato]

Just out of curiosity, what is the main reason for the popularity of 
a fridge in the garage?  Is it just to have a conveniently located 
beverage when you're working?  A second fridge adds to the power 
bill, especially when it's an old inefficient unit that is demoted to 
garage status.  It also takes up a bunch of space.  I guess I can see 
it if it's a detached garage/shop that's far away.  My garage/shop 
space is under the living space of my house.  If I have to go 
upstairs once in a while to pee, then it's no big deal to bring down 
a couple of cans or bottles.  For me, the main thing I guess is the 
room.  I have a pretty big space, and I still have a hard time 
finding a place for all the stuff I have.
