Seems we share the same weather patterns. I'm in Michigan so we just wait for the weather to head east across the lake.
The garage is a few feet from the house. A patio connects the house and garage together. Easy to keep the snow cleared during winter. We use an old phone with intercom when the need arises. Mostly just walk back and forth.
Chicago is a great city. My wife and I travel there several times a year.
I can understand your concern about neighbors. We live in a small town and have more space between neighbors and the natives are friendly. Not much sound gets out, so the neighbors never hear anything.
Seeing photos of expensive audio equipment set up in a living room is very nice but trying to get the most out of it when there are restrictions from our better halves or open floor plan and vaulted ceilings usually means big compromise. I know many don't have other options.
While my room is nothing fancy and there is some compromise with also using it for home theater, it works. Nice for those Saturday dinner and movie date nights.
"Now are you getting insight into “why more people don’t do it”?" Yea, I get it but there are ways to do it.
Thanks for your response!
