We're almost finished converting our attached garage into a fully functioning, heated home office/hang room. Our 890 sq foot home was reaching capacity and the old garage was basically a storage unit. Bikes, clothes, skateboards, food, and stuff that we weren't quite ready to throw out yet. We needed to make the most of an unused space. We have a small 6' x 10' shed which we're going to upgrade to a 12' x 16'.
We hired a general contractor to demo, insulate, sheetrock, and frame a wall in front of the garage door. So from the street it still looks like a garage, but once inside it's hard to tell. We added 6 wafer recessed lights on dimmers, two big closets, LVT flooring over the cement and a nice mini-split heat/ac unit which was installed yesterday as I finished painting the trim and closets. We also got a new smart tv which is the first new tv I've bought in over 15 years. What an upgrade! This is such a nice update for our home and my boys are so excited, it's great to see. Now back to my side work so i can pay for this.- hopefully local council don't do you for breaking planning laws.shapesalad
- Home upgrades are the bestscarabin
- Yeah we built all of this knowing that if/when we sell, we can knock down the framed wall and restore to a functioning "garage".stoplying
