3 Answers

"The question doesn't provide enough information and I must ask more questions to have a better understanding." Less

I don't know how many balloons can fit in a garage, but I can try it and see physically, LOL! Or, I can get the size of the balloon that I will inflate with air fully and the square ft size of the garage and calculate from there. Less

Then a specific, targeted solutions can be discerned and implemented. Less
