My garage is quickly becoming not a garage. Cars are taking a backseat to toys and such.
I was curious the thoughts on putting the boiler and storage in the "garage" It's pretty easy for me to move out all the gas engine stuff... and gas tanks and whatnot for flammables. The only vehicles that could go in there are diesels.
From what I understand... to be legal I'd have to have the boiler walled off with fire rated sheetrock. The door to the boiler "room" would have to go into a room other than the garage. (I can accomplish this by going from the boiler room to the utility room, which is walled off from the garage.
If I were to follow this code... I'd have a removable 5' section of wall. Then I could plunk my pallets full of wood next to the boiler.
Not sure if being to code is worth it. I think with common sense I can be just as safe without the walled off part.
Thoughts?
