The exterior walls are of 2x6 construction and are fully insulated. The garage has 18 electrical outlets including a special freezer outlet, without a ground fault circuit, to prevent inadvertent power loss to the freezer. Pre-emptive RADON SYSTEM installed under the full basement floor, PVC piping to capture any possible radon gas and vent it directly outside.
