Answers:
Well, if the garage is built, already, then you just need to put a gangway to it...
You can build a box enclosure from the door way, (man door, they call it), to the side of your house and if you dont have a door, install one where it will meet the house in a conspicious spot, of course, (a hallway, or off to a major room like kitchen, mudroom or dining room). Do not have it ending in some ones bedroom, or livingroom, or go through the laundry room, (if you have to bring groceries, you dont want to have to bump against a lot of different things).
Now, DO get a carbon monoxide detector! Because if some one is working in the Garage, you DONT want to die, if they leave the car on!
Make SURE your insurance is contacted, because it will cost you "more" for coverage, and it may negate the coverage you have now, if you dont tell them, and something happens where it burns the house and garage down.
Have extra fire extinguishers in the garage and outside the gangway that is going to lead to the garage...
Other than that, some 2X4s, and concrete for a pad, leading from garage to house, and insulation to keep it warm, or at least fromt the wind... and you will have it..
Also, check with local building codes from your Municipal or City or Country Building Inspector and see if you are "allowed" to do this! And if you live in a "housing project", (Condominiums), with a local Housing Authority, then you may not be able to do this due to regulations, governiing the placements of certain conditions that must be adhered to...
I wish you well..
