Either route the garage will be insulated, have vinyl siding, and a metal roof. I was planning on what seems like everyone here is calling a stick building, but the cost is a lot more than I had planned.
I would like it to be both nice and dry. The garage will be about 6 feet away from the house. There will also be a small breezeway connecting the two together.
I will have to guess no with the international building codes.
