I need help with encouraging my husband not to bring the car so forward when he is parking it in the garage.
There is so much happening in our garage. Not only is it our main entry into the house, you also have to walk through it to get to the rubbish bins, and our washing line is strung across the width of the garage. I like having the washing line there as I don't have to worry about the rain or sun damage on the clothes.
The problem is if either of the cars are parked to far into the garage it becomes difficult to reach the washing line, and I'm not the tallest person to start with. So I usually have to reverse my husbands car before I can get the washing on the line, one extra task in the day.
It would be great if there was a way to get him to stop the car at exactly the right point. I have thought about a line on the wall but I think he would forget about it and not notice it. Or I could rush out there every time I hear the garage door opening and guide him in like they do airplanes but usually I'm too busy doing something else - like cooking dinner:rolleyes:.
All suggestions are welcome.
