- Before doing anything, just think a little bit, what actually you want to add in your house. If you want to construct a bedroom, kid’s room or small office space or entertainment room, then make a plan and draw it in the graph paper. Now design the wall on this room, with perfectly positioning the door and windows. You have to design this room very strategically to mask the feel of garage in downstairs or if it is located just beside your garage.
- First you need to clean the garage to remove those grease, oil or paints from the floor. Try to pull off the door from main entrance of garage from the frame to remodel your room. If the door is real heavy take help from friends or hire a professional factotum. Try using your pry bar or gun screw to remove the old heavy metal door.
- Now construct a new wall on the garage floor by the help of tools and woods. Try to chop out 2/4 inch with the help of circular shape saw for fitting the floor and ceiling of garage. Now put a rectangular piece by the 2/4 stud end, with the help of 16d nails for framing. Now cut out another square portion by measuring it accurately with tape and by calculating the frame dimension so that diagonals matches with the frame. Place this in the metal wall studs and keep at least 16-18 inches space apart.
- Now place the custom door windows by the instruction in the newly placed wall. First put the window sill and frame for the door with proper measurement. You can use framing nail gun to ease this work.
- Now put the insulator between the metal wall studs and fix it with stapler. Also put a drywall on the top, if you want to remodel your ceiling for this room. Fix the joint compound in the dry wall with screw and drywall tape. Cover the old garage floor with your favorite, vinyl or tiles or carpets to redesign this new floor for this room. Now your new room is all ready to go.
