Usually common wall ,garage side between the house and garage will have drywall and joints and screws 'mudded' . supposed to prevent engine fumes from car in garage from killing the people in the house. Drywall/floor seam is supposed to be caulked as well Contractors here don't even prime ,let alone paint that wall ! different lands, different rules..... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Along with this and the potential for CO build-up within the garage, the code requires that the garage be separated from the dwelling unit and attic as indicated in https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/IRC2015/chapter-3-building-planning/IRC2015-Pt03-Ch03-SecR302.6#IRC2015_Pt03_Ch03_SecR302.6_TblR302.6" rel="nofollow - Table R302.6 .

Think it depends on where you live.. We live out in the country in a small county in Illinois. Not many rules and nobody comes to inspect.. basically you do what ever you want... There are some good "rules" that might be a good idea to follow, but again, depends on if anyone cares or is inspecting. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

It appears that a New Bldg. Code went in to effect in the State Of Illinois effective Jan.1, 2025. Effective 1/1/2025 a statewide building code will go into effect as required by the Capital Development Board Act (20 ILCS 3105). Non-state buildings must be inspected by a qualified inspector stating the building complies with the above codes.1 Click here for more information. |

Well it sure would suck to lose the house and belongings because of improper fire separation from the garage. The codes noted above give the occupant a better chance to escape a fire and firefighters a better chance of saving the home. |
