Wind block is a really good idea on the plains...but do you ever actually get wind out of the Northwest?
At least in Iowa, that's just about the rarest direction, a wind break there makes no sense.

We get a very hard, steady, north wind all winter long. The back of our house is 2 stories tall, and full of windows. Having a shop sit back a bit like that would cut down noise, and help with keeping the house warm. The north end of our house is mostly the attached 2 car garage.
Weird to have such different wind patterns. Where I grew up isn't that far away, but nearly all the wind comes either out of the SW or the NE ("Rockies storms" and "Great Lakes storms"). Mostly the SW. Some of this will depend on the topography surrounding your house.
Side note, how much garage space are you thinking you need? 2x4 = 8 cars in the shed and 2 more in the main garage? Dat just sounds like a bunch for poor ol' me and my soggy driveway.
'Course, I don't have much need for a windbreak, either.

Yoo Betcha!
Just took me 30 minutes to unhook and unload the camper from the truck. Pretty dang easy. Now back to DD duties.
When we had a Super Duty we used a slide in camper. We bought it for $200; it was a late 60's unit. Unloading and loading that thing was sketchy as hell. We used to joke that every time we loaded/unloaded it we nearly divorced.
Nice.
It was. And it was in the dark, which I think accounts for a little time used.

1.) It's been a while since I saw that 6-picture template. I thought that brand of meme had died off.
2.) A spilling less on would be a gud ting.
3.) Yeah, I have spent a lot of time doing that bottom right shot. Bridging the gap between dreamers and the shop floor. And hated by both!
...covered walkway?
That's it....covered walkway. It's still unattached and won't make too much difference what the weather is.
I was thinking close enough that the overhangs on the house and garage almost touch leaving not so much openness.
OK....sounds like a plan. And since you're going to be saving money by not putting up a covered walkway......Guess who's buying drinks in Toe-peek-ugh?
