Mudroom routes garage to interior
ADJ-MUDROOM-01Description
Mudrooms must have at least two interior doors — one connecting to the garage AND one to a non-garage interior room (hallway, kitchen, or laundry).
Why this exists
A mudroom that only connects to the garage is a glorified vestibule. It needs both a garage_pedestrian door AND an interior connection (hallway / kitchen / laundry) to do its job.
