Google search turns up a Corvette forum, but also an odd entry on Uban Dictionary. Not vulgar or anything, but talks about CFOT being formally cool until a change in ownership.:headscrat

There's a reason garages have steps from them to the house, and it's not to ensure your wife trips on her way to the dryer...
Seriously (about the steps)?

What's the reason?

Agreed. This is definitely the googliest of mooglies.

I'd pretty much bet that he built the garage and then had the mountain moved into place.

you should install a periscope to spy on the neighbours / watch for delivery men :)
Great idea ---- or cameras with the monitors in the bunker.

Do you mind telling me which laser you bought ---- and anyone feel free to chime in. I want/need one.

Yeah, you're pretty close.

Utah is a regular on the Corvette Forum Off Topic (CFOT) board, and gets plenty of grief from the regulars there - most notably for his photography skills. A number of CFOT folks on this board as well -- it's a small world, isn't it??

Flammable gases (and things like carbon monoxide) are heavier than air. Steps up into the house keep them from making their way into the living space. Steps down into living space invite them to pool down into the space. Also a reason that mechanic pits aren't seen anymore.

Or if used they have to be ventilated.

Okay, I learn't somethin' new today ---- and I was thinking about putting a pit in the garage addition.

I suppose that I could put a drain / vent at the bottom of it ---- or just not do it at all.

Thanks for the information.

Carbon Monoxide and many solvents will seek to the lowest level. I have an acquaintance up this way that was burned badly in a pit at a large dealership years ago. A drain and REAL GOOD ventilation is an absolute must. I do hope that the Bunker has adequate ventilation and an alarm.

Ah...makes sense. It passed inspection due to the fact that I installed an exterior door (with a nice tight seal) at the top of the stairs.

As for Carbon Monoxide... I don't ever run my cars in the garage, unless the door is open and I'm backing out. But I do have a detector in the basement and it's pretty well ventilated also. Hope this answers the question.

(but to be honest, the whole stairs in the garage things was news to me too)

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

On the HGTV show, Holmes on Homes, there was a couple that had purchased a house with a walkout basement garage.

Mike Holmes was adamant about changing the garage to a regular room. He said that, as the basement had air ducts from the house's central heat and air system, it would suck the fumes from the vehicles' exhaust into the house.

I could almost agree with him IF the vehicles would sit running in the basement ---- but, as utah just said, I would only be driving my vehicles in or out of my basement garage (and obviously with the garage door open).

In my house (in Arkansas), the lower level (walkout basement) uses the same central heat and air as the upper level.

As a sidenote, since my family deals in a lot of real estate, I've been thinking about how many houses I've seen that have a couple steps down into the garage and how, now and then, I'd see one that has the garage essentially on the same level (no steps at all) as the main living space.

It's all just fascinating.

Mike Holmes is a quack.

Everyone takes his word on his show as fact. But he's wrong about a lot of things, and he blows everything out of proportion. It's to the point where I can't even watch him without getting mad his little elf helper(Damon?) is a jerk-off, too.

Try dealing with customers after they watch him or Shell Busey. All of a sudden I don't know what I'm talking about because these pro's saw Mike or Shell do something different (or way more expensive) on TV!
