Sadly, they do a very poor job of keeping eggs safe if a carton of eggs is accidently dropped. Nobody likes it when they buy a carton of eggs only to accidently drop it on the way home.

In reality, it's not so much an island of trash as a soupy area of litter, mostly in the form of tiny flecks of plastic, studded here and there with old fishing gear and children's toys. If you were to sail right through the Patch, the water itself probably wouldn't look too remarkable, unless you…

DISADVANTAGES The main disadvantage of having a detached garage is when you really use it for parking your vehicles and you have to get to them or get out of them during inclement weather. You have to walk your way through the heat or cold, depending on the season, from your house into the garage or vice versa.
