Converting a 1 Car Garage into office and shed?

Posted by admin On April - 7 - 20101 COMMENT

I am purchasing an older home with a detached 1 car garage. The garage was built when smaller cars were the norm and most people in the neighborhood only use it for storage. We are thinking about eventually converting the garage into an finished office and separate storage space (like a shed for garden type storage items). Would this be a mistake in terms of re-sale?

We recently purchased a home with a two-car garage. This garage set-up has two individual garage doors with individual garage door openers. Is there any way to convert this to a garage with one large garage door?

Can I install a window into our concrete garage?

Posted by admin On March - 27 - 20104 COMMENTS

We have a pre-cast concrete panel garage (here when we moved in). can i install a window into a wall? I’m guessing the panels have steel rods in them, is it ok to cut a hole in to fit a window?
many thanks
