| 735593 | 2009-01-07 21:16:00 | Hi Sarel . Agree with Gary . Would just add that when I divided my double garage in to a wife's sewing room and my general/computer room (too much sawdust in the workshop) I used 9 mm MDF as wall lining instead of gib board . This allows you to fasten shelves, pictures, other junk, to any part of the wall simply wihttp://pressf1 . co . nz/images/smilies/spam . gifth screws - saves having to find the studs which sometimes limits the locations you can use . Pin the bottom plate to the floor in a couple of places . The two aluminium opening windows in wife's half of the garage/workshop cost twenty five dollars each from the local glaziers - who had all sorts of second-hand windows in stock . Gary's suggestion of pre-hung doors is worth following through - makes life so much easier and the frame rebates will conceal the edges of the MDF . Although my two extra rooms occupy the whole of the former double garage, I left the roller door in place . When it is open, the windows give the impression of being in any other room . At the end of the day the door is lowered and looks like a garage . Of course, I had to then build a double carport . . . Note that in my place, the roof insulation did not extend over the garage area and I had to add more insulation . I believe that this is quite common . Get an electrician in to place a few power points and a separate lighting . . . . great fun and she'll love you forever . :cool: Good one mate . . . . great idea! |
