Elevating a bathroom or kitchen floor is typically less desirable, unless of course you plan on elevating the entire garage floor. I will discuss this issue\/concept in more detail later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The alternative to elevating the bathroom \/ kitchen floor is to cut out swaths of concrete flooring. This task is extremely messy, dusty, and requires a great deal of hard manual labor, but in the end you will achieve a better product. Consequently, my recommendation is to first consult with a plumber before you develop detail floor plans of your garage conversion project. He can help you decide where the best location is for your bathroom \/ kitchen \/ wet bar, and recommend a layout. Ideally you will want to locate the rooms requiring plumbing near each other and near the existing sewer\/septic drain pipes within the main home to minimize concrete cutting.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once you have completed your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/garages\/garage-addition-plans\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">garage conversion floorplan<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>, have your plumber mark the locations for where the concrete needs to be cut away.

You may want to consider locating a standard door or windows in one or more of these openings as you frame them in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cutting new door openings and windows into existing walls is a more expensive effort, as external siding and potentially interior sheetrock will need to be disturbed that may not otherwise be required. If aesthetically and functionally it makes sense, replacing a garage door opening with a standard door and\/or windows can potentially save some money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also, when <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/framing\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">framing<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> in the garage door openings, first build up the base of the openings with either concrete or concrete blocks to the same height of the adjacent foundation walls. This will help to ensure a finished external appearance that blends in well with the rest of the home\u2019s siding.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Floors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Garage floors can be cold. Garage floors typically consist of just an un-insulated concrete pad. Also, frequently garage floors are sloped so that water runs toward the garage door opening(s). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To address both these issues it may make sense to raise the entire garage floor using 2\u201dx2\u201ds, 2\u201dx4\u201ds or 2&#215;6\u201ds depending how much floor insulation is desired. Shims can be used to level the raised subfloor. Alternatively the 2\u201dxNs can be trimmed to level the floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If there is sufficient ceiling height in the garage the use of 2\u201dx6\u201ds could eliminate the need for concrete cutting for installing drain pipes. Using 2\u201dx6\u201ds can frequently provide enough height to support sufficient drain pitch. Again, you may want to discuss this with your plumber if you plan to elevate the entire garage floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Ducts, Pipes, and Other Obstructions in a Garage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Like a basement there are frequently air ducts, pipes and other obstructions in a garage. Unless you want to spend significant time and money moving the ducts and pipes, you will want to box these obstructions in using either 2\u201dx2\u201ds or 2\u201d x 4\u201ds. The boxed in areas can then be easily sheetrocked. Aesthetically it is better to box in clusters of obstructions with one large box rather than having several small boxed in areas. Many small boxed in areas will make a finished room look chopped up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Wall thickness<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Frequently exterior garage walls are framed using 2\u201dx4\u201ds, where as the rest of the home\u2019s exterior walls are framed with 2\u201d x 6\u201ds. The 2\u201dx6\u201d walls allow for additional insulation. You may want to add furring strips to your garage exterior wall studs to enable additional insulation thickness. As a matter of fact, your local building codes may mandate this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A garage conversion project is a great and inexpensive way to add formal living space to your home. The only real downside is the loss of a sheltered place to store your vehicles. As outlined in this article develop a solid garage conversion plan first before beginning work.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For more information on building a garage addition<\/span><\/b> see the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/garage-addition-bid-sheet\/\">Garage Addition Bid Sheet<\/a><\/span><\/strong> from HomeAdditionPlus.com.
