A reduced frontage garage configured to accommodate a plurality of motor vehicles. This garage includes a door that is insufficiently wide to accommodate entry of the entire plurality of vehicles in parallel side-by-side relation. The garage also includes a flared interior garage enclosure configured to allow the vehicles to pass through the door sequentially and stop in a substantially radial parking arrangement within the garage in which adjacent vehicles are parked at acute angles to each other. This substantially radial parking arrangement allows each vehicle to pass through the door and park in a designated parking space while veering the vehicle to at most one side of its orientation of straight travel. The building may also include a carport adjacent to the reduced frontage garage and accessible from a common driveway. The radial parking area may also be bifurcated by a building structure. In various configurations, the invention provides for two-car, three-car, four-car and five-car designs, with and without carports, and with and without a bifurcated radial parking area. Of course, the teaching of the invention may be extended to provide for a greater number of parking spaces, parking spaces configures to accommodate other types of vehicles, such as golf carts, lawn mowers, motorcycles, snowmobiles, trucks, boats, and so forth.

Striking tools, heads and handles for such tools, and methods of manufacturing them. A tool head according to this invention employs a flange which extends from each side of the head between the forward and rear portions of the head. The portion of the head within the periphery of each flange is generally concave and narrows to form a web extending longitudinally in the striking direction to connect the forward and rear portions. The web may include at least one opening communicating between the two concave surfaces. The flanges increase the cross-sectional area and moment of inertia of the head relative to the striking direction and relative to the handle axis. The resulting head enjoys greater strength and resistance to translational forces, bending moments, deformation and potential failure. Portions of the handle extending through the opening in the head and thereby about portions of the head reduce the possibility that the head will leave the handle as the tool is being swung. A minimum of surfaces required to be machined reduces finishing labor and expense.
