So for once I've stumped google, or I'm not using the proper search words. There's lots of expertise in vast areas here so I'll give it a try.
My house has a detached 2 car garage and a shed. In the fall I got a loaner 3rd vehicle from a family member with 4 wheel drive to help me commute to South Bend every day. Basically, since I wasn't using the shed I cleaned it totally, ripped off the doors and can now fit my car in there with about 7 inches clearance on either side mirror. I've used it all winter, it's been great.
I just got my home appraised for a refi and it came back 30K over what I paid in 2008 (WHOHOO!!!!!) - On the appraisal it naturally lists the 2 car garage and 1 shed.
What's the technical definition of shed vs garage? I'm sure if I could get the shed counted as a garage, thus giving me a 3 car garage - it would increase my value even more no? I'm very happy with the appraisal, now I'm just being greedy.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
