How to connect detached garage to my house?

Posted by admin
pgjkc asked:


I have a detached garage 20 feet at the back of my house, offset by ~5′, with a door facing out 90 degrees to my back door.

I would like to build an enclosed hallway to connect the two structures. (I have converted the detached garage to a living area) There is a very slight incline (about 2 inches) between the house and garage.

Can anyone give suggestions on how I can do this, what the best solution and expected costs? I am in Southern California.

Thanks!

Johnny

      check with your local building department and bylaws officer. We must get clearance from both where I live, before we can do anything like this.
