If I can set up a viable print space in the garage, I may opt for that.
Do keep an eye on temperature and stray sunlight. Resin prefers temperatures between 68ºF and 77ºF. Summer heat or freezing cold will cause it to break down. From what I've heard, freezing is way more destructive than heat. My AC went out for about 2 weeks, and it got up to 92ºF indoors. I was really worried that I might have to replace my entire resin stock, but it doesn't seem to have suffered any significant ill effects. Still, I accidentally left a bottle of UV craft resin (which has a slightly different chemical structure) out in the garage for 3 months and when I noticed and went to check on it, it had cured into a completely solid lump.
Even if you're printing out in the garage, keep your bottles of resin and whatever Isopropyl Alcohol or mineral spirits you're using for cleaning purposes indoors someplace cool and dry when you're not actively using them. One of those black plastic storage totes is ideal, as it'll block stray UV and you can easily wipe off any small resin dribbles that may occur.
