Changing garage to living space and hiding arches
Hi everybody
My plan is:
Get an alum window that is larger than the garage arch put in where the garage door is (easy job as no cutting it will just bolt on the inside flush with the bricks like the garage door tracks do.).
The result will be what looks like an arched window.
Move the HWS outside (or box it upif I cant shift it). Paint the walls inside the garage (3 of the 4 walls are exposed brick which I will render or plasterboard at a later date before I sell). Put down carpet.
Rent for $130 to a flatmate so its a good yield.
The garage has internal access to the lounge and also a back door and back window into the garden so it will be a very large and nice room.
I dont need a garage as I have just bought a shed and I have no car anyway. When I get a car I will put it under a large canvas pergola.
Then later before I sell in 3 or more yrs I will get a carport put out the front of the ex-garage. The carport will be attached to the house and it will possibly have a covered walkway across the front of the house.
This way the arches will be quite hidden by the carport. I hate those arches (what was I thinking when I bought ).
I will then be selling a 4 bedroom house or that is to say a 3 bed house with large storage/rumpus.
Any feedback?
