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...

- 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...

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...

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 wasn't going to post this because I figured I could search and find something but I'm having zero luck after a week of browsing and searching the forum. I've got a pretty standard sized two-car garage, 21x19 (LxW) with 10-ft ceilings. What I want to do is effectively turn it into a single car...

Just looking for some basic advice, I've got 20x18 2-car garage, works fine for my daily drivers, but looking to get back into projects and really want a lift. My problem is 10ft (actually 9' 9") ceilings. I've been looking at a few different options, but honestly I don't even know if some of...

We close on our new house tomorrow morning and I've already got several projects in mind for the garage. I'm very budget limited right now, so the final product isn't going to be done for at least a year, probably two, but the basics will get done pretty quick. I don't have many pictures yet...

New to Garage doors, track raising questions I've read over several of the high-lift threads and a couple DIY websites such as this one: http://ddmgaragedoors.com/diy-instructions/garage-door-high-lift-conversion.php But I wanted to post pictures of my setup to see what will be needed and if...

So my wife and I have purchased a home with a 20x18 2-car garage. In our current apartment we've got a big wall-size entertainment center from Ikea, but we won't be using it the same way in the new house. It's got a couple 6ft cabinets and several cabinets with doors, all in great shape, but...

Wife and I are in the middle of closing on our first home. It's got a nice two-car garage that I plan on doing some basic stuff with. Just buying a house, and still not being done with school my budget for garage stuff is limited. Plan is to keep an eye on Craigslist for some free kitchen style...
