I've got a 600 sq ft, 2 car garage at my house. The end goal is to make it a liveable unit on paper with permits, but that's a few years down the road.
Right now the goal is to turn it into a home office, so what steps would you recommend taking that would eventually let me turn it into a liveable unit?
I think getting the floor done, adding climate control, and adding electrical are the first steps.
The main things I'm wondering are:
- any flooring recommendations? I was just going to epoxy it so it looks better
- it has 1 outlet right now, do I just get someone to come wire more into the walls?
- do I seal up the garage doors/remove them/replace them with cinderblocks?
- what would you recommend for A/C as far as insulation? I think a window unit would be the best option. I'm in Tampa so it would get close to 100 degrees without anything
- anything else you think I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance! Pics below for reference
