Well,I already tipped my hand,I'M a big fan of detached garages. With that said,here are some of my reasons as to why. Aesthetically aside,a detached garage allows better and additional window placement to living space,absolutely no chance for noxious fumes (gas oil,C.M etc.) from migrating to living space. Chance of fire spreading to home diminished(garage fires are quite prevalent). Also,burglars love attached garages,most garages are relatively easy access I.E. service door,window,or simply activate door opener. Once in garage,they close door,go to work on door to home,load up truck completely undetected,drive off !
The elimination of those concerns seems a fair trade off for the periodic inconvenience experienced.
Again,nicely done !
