Quickie:
For 45 years I used to keep my trusty Ariens snowblower in our garage which, more accurately was more or less a large drafty barn, separate from the house. I'd just shut it off and leave it there.
Now:
We just moved to a new-built house that has a large garage under the house and I'm wondering how safe it is to keep it in the garage (gas fumes). There's no ignition sources like water heater/furnace there, just two cars.
We go in/out several times a day so fresh air comes in regularly.
My only outdoor storage space is behind our deck which, in a snowstorm would make it impractical to access.
A few of our new neighbors have their lawnmower/snowblower in their garages but 'airtight' houses are new to us and I'm just wondering. For a few personal reasons I'm overly, overly paranoid about such things.
Any insight appreciated.
