Wood stored in Garage - Insurance?

[KB007]

I have a neighbour who likes to move his wood into his attached garage in the fall (by the time he moves it it's seasoned 1-2 yrs). He does this mainly so he can run out into the garage to get wood, rather than actually go outside.

Anyone know of any insurance issues with this?

TIA

None I can think of.
Few folks here do similar storage attached to the house.

I doubt it but for sure there are some drying issues. Much better to stack it outdoor at least for the first year before moving it into the garage. There is also the possibilities of insect problems.

My garage is made of wood.

My garage is made of wood.

And there is a pretty good chance that wood was dry when built.

I'd worry of the fire hazard, but I actually USE my garage. Welding, grinder, etc.

I keep 1 cord in my garage, for days
when its 10 and droping, wind at 20mi and rising.
My barn is across the road full of hay and wood.
PS My wifes car is more of a fire hazard.

We use our garage also.We park our cars there. For the torches and grinders and sparkey things they are in my pole barn. And we keep our ready to use wood in our farm-storage barn that is just 50 ft from the house where we bring would to the basement egress window so we don't have to take it thru the house.

Don't have enough room (or $$) to have a separate buildings to park in and to work in. Would love to have a few thousand sq ft workshop and just use the garage for parking.
