Default Finished garage??

This lovely attached 3 car garage was a 2 car attached with a living space being used in the 1 car garage. Or I should say a 1 car being used as a living space.

This was the same guy that cut the trusses to install a pull down ladder.

I am glad my client was going to turn it back into a garage.

First time I have seen this.

I would think the local authorities would love this set up.

Maybe I will turn my garage into a family room. Thus way I can drive my tractor right into the kitchen.

With the garage vehilce door still functional it is a 1-car garge with flammible material on the floor. Recommend immiedate removal as the current condition is a fire hazard.

In a college town like Columbia, garages are frequently uses as a third or fourth bedroom. Or they are covered in plastic, and used as a indor/outdoor party room. Just hose it out when everyone leaves

It is perfect for a guy with a bike, but I would put nerf bars up around the furniture.

Obviously you have never been to south florida. Over half the garages here have been turned into rooms, most without any permits, or electrical added.
