A simple, inexpensive non-amplified 'rabbit-ears' style antenna will work well indoors if the garage door is not made of sheet-metal (wood with metal reinforcement will usually be OK).

The RCA ANT-121 is an example. ($12.56 @ Amazon, free shipping)

To receive the high-VHF channels, set the rods close to parallel to the ground and extend the rods equally so that the tips are about 30 inches apart. Aim by pointing one tip to the NE and the other to the SW.

Rabbit ears can be placed in the attic also (presuming the roof is not covered in metal).

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
