Same, only w/o the freezer. Beer, iced tea, juice, iced coffee, my seltzer, and extra milk and half&half. Basically cold storage for liquids.

I've considered getting a fridge fire the garage.
But I feel like the electricity cost of it running nonstop during these sweltering Summer months here in TEXAS just isn't worth it.

I hear ya. Arizona here and gets toasty here too. But if I don't I'm keeping beer in that toasty garage. The sign on it says annual electric use of about $50. I am under no delusion that it will be anywhere near that.

We have one in FL and I don’t think it’s all that bad on electric. Our bills go up in direct proportion to temps, but I think 90+% of it is the a/c. We have a smaller fridge in the garage than inside with no ice maker or frills. But we did buy it new rather than putting an old one from the kitchen out there. At most, my guess would be an extra $5-$10/mo. in electric. Apparently, FPL says it’s only $11/year extra vs. running inside the house.

Best decision I made when it comes to beverages.

The 5 acres of wooded land that we bought in SC last week cost us way more than the three tanks of diesel fuel and two round-trip airline tickets that we spent traveling for the closing:

"5 acres of wooded land"???? Hell that LAKE is WAY more than 5 acres!!! =)

Congrats man, nothing better than land. I've only got 3 acres where I live, but it's surrounded on 3 sides by farms, so I am safe from neighbors. Have to use bino's to see my nearest neighbor - and you have to be in the front yard to do that. I spend weekends on the family farm (1/2 mil square) and the peacefulness calls to me. Plan to live there some day if all goes well.

Congrats!

Added two more Sonos speakers to the network. One for the backyard and garage (BMW sticker tells them apart). The wireless charging is wonderful and the sound punches above its weight and size for sure.
