My wife and I have finally decided to go forward with converting our attached 3 car garage (just under 1000sqft) to a studio apartment for my dad to move in with us and go ahead with building the shop/garage we (mostly I) have always wanted. It's not going to be a shop building, it's actually...

My wife and I just bought our home, which includes a "three car" garage building and a horse barn/stalls. It's a very old building, but it's structurally sound. It will be used for light maintenance/modification, detailing, and parking for two cars plus a couple ATV's. The stall nearest to the...

Current state: Not quite finished, but 90% there. I live in a modestly sized 2500sqft home and have a family, so space is at a premium. My wife lets me have free reign of the garage as long as she can still park in there at night. So I decided to turn the garage into my light-duty workspace...

I'm trying to make the best of my small 440sqft 2-car garage. One of the walls is going to have a TV mounted on it for watching sports and movies. I've already got a couple of decent folding tables that can be used, but what about seating? I'm limited on space, so I would like something that...

I know this is a little bit late, but I've got RaceDeck FreeFlow and just got my NewAge Bolds in today. You can judge for yourself, not a perfect match but I think it looks pretty good.

Understood. I know I can get at least one. I'm likely doing a high-lift conversion and Liftmaster 8500 on my door, at which point I should be able to comfortably fit two. Thanks for the response!

So you would say ceiling fans the better option overall due to noise? That's something that I hadn't really considered too much, but it will likely be an issue.

- Two car "cookie cutter" garage 440sqft - Also used as small office/man cave - Seattle, WA (hottest days are low 90's, normally high 70's to mid 80's in Summer) - I like to leave the garage door open on nice days With that being laid out, what are my options? I'd just like to keep the stagnant...

This was my initial thought, actually I was going to just going to put another piece of 1/4-1/2" drywall over the first piece to get it to match up with that step. I didn't want to mess with the studs since I'll be insulating, didn't want that extra air space. But that still leaves me with the...

I was tearing down drywall to prepare for insulation and wiring and came across this board nailed to the studs. This is where the house and the garage share a wall, but I still can't understand why it's there. This thing is really in the way as far as running wiring and I wanted to add some...

Anything I can do to improve the seal? Specialty products?

I think it will be fine. The main car that will be in there is a Lotus Elise. I'll only be working on sports cars.

I live in a very cookie cutter house in a cookie cutter neighborhood, but overall we're happy with our home and location. I've got a 21x19 two car garage with just under 10ft ceilings. Assuming I get a higher-end insulated door (bi-fold carriage door, not overhead) and install the best...

I have a fairly new home, with an attached 21ft x 19ft x 10ft(height) 2-car garage. We love our home and don't have enough space to build a separate shop, so I'm working with what I have, which is a 16ft x 7ft opening where I currently have a basic Clopay door. The plan is to convert our two...

I'm curious about your lift placement. Did you place it so far towards the wall just so you could fit another car on the left side? Or were there other reasons? Seems like wheel/suspension work on the side nearest the wall would be really tight. Do you find any issues with it? Reason I'm asking...
