Sorry I wouldnāt it may effect your home insurance.
I can tell you the project probably starts with a sawsall...but if you're not sure what to do, you should consult a contractor.
If your garage wall is framed instead of a block wall, you must add a header over the window when you create it. Make sure you are creating a standard size, so you don't end up having to order a custom sized window. If the wall is block you should consult with a mason. Also, if you can enter your house from the garage, you should increase the security at that entrance.
Yes you can. Lots of garages have windows or doors. If you do not have the tools or knowledge, hire a contractor or licensed handy person. V. Smith provided some good suggestions. I think it is a wonderful idea and can look really cute when completed! My vote is to go for it. š
Thank you all for your suggestions. It's a detached garage and already has a window in an inconvenient spot so this is adding another. Will contact a handyman.
