We just moved into a house a couple years ago with a large 2 stall under the house. I absolutely love the house, hate the damn garage!! I used to have a big un-attached 3 stall garage where I didn't have to worry about sound, fumes and all the nasty stuff we emit in our garages. With the new house it is such a pain in the ass.
I just finished painting the engine bay of my car. Even with everything sealed, taped and exhaust fans, the smell still got into the house. I had to evacuate my 2 small kids and wife to the neighbors house until it all cleared out.
Every time I start up the lawn mower in the garage in the summer the fumes will creep into the house even with both doors open.
Lesson learned for me. We are now saving up money so i can build a small 2 car garage away from the house.
