Acclimate it in the house or in the garage where I'm gonna build it?

Realistically in the garage, it just needs to dry out. Have seen "kiln dried" stuff from a box store weep moisture after cutting. The house, where it will sit, would be optimal but isn't really feasible.

If you can, this is ideal. Moisture in store bought lumber can be as high as 13%. A house moisture level with ac running is around 6-8%. By keeping the lumber under ideal conditions, it will take around 3 months to get the store bought lumber down to the lower moisture level. That is for 1 1/2" stock. Thicker= longer.
