It’s almost a proverb that the garage is used for hobbies. Boat building, car restoration, model making the list of hobbies that are traditionally done in the garage is endless.
The common theory behind this myth is that traditional hobbies like the ones mentioned were often done by the father of the household, often by himself but sometimes with his children. Where else would the father carry out his hobby than in the garage? The domain of the man of the home.
With peoples love for hobbies growing and with the internet encouraging all kinds of new hobbies in general, hobbies are growing. With it the amount of space and ambition that goes with them.
No room of the home is safe from hobbies now. Video gaming, web surfing and movie nights are some more modern hobbies that demand the use of the living room or bedroom.
