...Are you aware that there's a door between a house and its attached garage, much like the one between the front of the house and the street outside?
Your description sounds like you think garage doors open directly onto the living room.

- jessaustin 8y agoNo, I've lived in, remodeled, repaired, and torn down houses with attached garages. It's possible to build them so that the house in general will have problems before the garage starts causing its own problems. It's common not to build them so. Also I never had an attached garage when I lived in Boston, Denver, and in the Colorado Rockies, so I'm not so sympathetic to this "oh, it's cold!" argument.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoSo all of your arguments about attached garages are actually about poorly designed attached garages? You could have saved a lot of time if you'd said that in the first place.
