Yeah, those are...y'know, from the McMansion Hell blog. And if you go to the blog, whose URL is in one of the images, you can see commentary alongside the images.

So what gets me about this one, unless someone has a really tiny clown car, or a very small garage only for, say, motorcycles or bicycles, that second garage on the right has to extend not just past the two small windows, but past the large window on the far right as well. Now that's what I call cursed.

Maybe it's a workshop? (It's not but would be cool.) A lawnmower would fit tho.

Adding windows onto garages so that they look like living space from outside has been a thing for the past few years.

Weembles posted:Adding windows onto garages so that they look like living space from outside has been a thing for the past few years. It’s really this. Particularly on larger homes, the trend is to point the garage doors to one side and add windows to the garage to disguise it. Problem is, you can then see the inevitable Rubbermaid cabinets and shelves up against the inside of the garage windows. It’s a full-size garage.

My 1964 home has two windows on the garage, and they don't even face the front. One is currently hosting a window AC unit for when it gets too drat hot here in TX.

Burt Sexual posted:Aren’t windows a security risk where I store expensive poo poo outside semi separate from living spaces with people? That is an issue with garage windows, though. One can quickly get into the garage, and then take their time, out of view, breaking into your house via the garage house door. Bonus points for using the homeowner's own tools stored in the garage to do so. Throw all the poo poo you stole in the trunk of the car in there, grab the keys hanging by the door, and zip out of there like nothing happened.

My father in law has a bunch of expensive poo poo in his shop, so he has steel mesh over the windows that are e big enough to easily crawl through. I imagine you could cut through it, but if you are going to get on a ladder and take an angle grinder or metal shears to the window you are a lot more likely to be seen by someone.

My garage has 3 windows and all my (cheap) tools are visible, I considered putting frosted glass film over them but we do have a security system so we just added a glass break detector in there, which is great, as long as I make sure to turn off the system if I'm actually going to be in there using power tools otherwise they'll set it of.

We rarely shut the garage door or even had the ability to lock it. Lost a couple lovely bikes and some old speakers but that's about it. The garage had windows too. Thieves won't smash your windows if the door wide open *head tap meme*

If your garage is a car-box, sure, no windows. If it's mostly used as a workshop, being able to open the window/have sunlight at all is pretty vital. Sometimes you want fresh air without having the front door wide open.

All you can do is make it unwelcoming for them - no high bushes where they can hide, windows closed, doors locked, deadbolts, etc. Convince them to maybe try the house next door. I also have voile curtains on all my windows so people can't just look in from the street and see everything inside my house. I'll never understand people who have nothing for privacy and I can walk along the street and clearly see them watching TV from the couch.
