Hate to remind you all, but two problems are not mentioned:
1. Termites and other wood borers like carpenter ants and bark beetles. Every climate has them. Right next to your wood house. Maybe leaning against it.
2. Fire. It’s better to walk some yards to have a protected fire space next to your house. Just ask your fire marshal what he thinks.
It’s a detached garage approx. 35 feet from the house.
We do get carpenter bees though.
