I’m planning on converting a 21x21 garage to a living room in the next couple years. I’ve got pretty much everything figured out I believe, and it seems a bit simpler than the bonus room conversion I finished earlier this year.

Has anyone done this, and have any tips / unexpected things I might encounter?

Thing’s Ive investigated / confirmed / planned so far:

  • Leveling the graded concrete floor
  • Filling the entrance hole with an exterior rated wall + windows
  • Insulating the preexisting exterior wall segments
  • HVAC connection
  • Additional electrical outlets
  • Framing an entrance to the space in the adjacent load bearing wall
  • @Erro

    A ductless mini split system might be a great choice for your new space. Super efficient, quiet, and reasonably priced - especially when you save on not adding duct work. Good luck and post some pics when you get a chance.
