Electricity in garage, bad?

[โ€“] plumcreek@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

In the garage is fine, but this is about inputs and outputs. Electricity entering or leaving a house via a garage (or front door), and not via power lines, generally indicates something is very wrong. That's quite a large air gap to cross after all.
