Excellent idea, and I'm sorry for the delay--busy week!
Geography: I'm in the state of Virginia, so we get both freezing temps in winter, and heat in summer. But both are in moderation. We have a month or so in winter when we can get snow and ice, and a month or so in summer, when the temps can get into triple digits.
Property layout: On the property is the "main house" with a very large, modern, well constructed detached garage with full electricity, its own circuit breaker, plug for an A/C unit (220, I think?) The garage does NOT have any form of water, either in the form of incoming (tap) or outgoing (sewer.) The main house and garage are about 30 feet apart, and connected by an enormous asphalt driveway, which is in excellent condition. There is a hose spigot off the main house by the driveway. There is a door off the main house, right onto the driveway, and 12 feet inside the door is a half bath (toilet and sink) and laundry facility, including a laundry sink. The house is on sewer, not septic. (The main house also has electricity, of course, but the garage has AMPLE electricity to spare, and the 220 plug is right there off the driveway.) So, within 15 feet in either direction, there is water, electricity, a toilet and a hose.
Maybe a diagram is better. I will try to post.
