Home remodel


Its a wonder what you find in your own home, especially if you didn't build it, or remodel it the FIRST time around!

I've lived in my house for 20 years. What was once upon a time an attached single car garage (probably not even big enough for today's monster SUV's or full size trucks), was turned into a fourth bedroom. Most of the homes in my neighborhood have similar remodels, using what was the original garage for living space: a room with a fireplace, another entrance, an extra bedroom or an office.

There was some damage below the window that was repaired with new Sheetrock, but it was not insulated. 20 years of heating and cooling only to find out that just a few dollars of insulation inside the wall would have made all the difference.

Pictures to follow.

This room is going to be a yoga room/art studio. It is turning out better than expectations and I am very happy with the progress so far.
