Hey all,
I have a million questions about this. Here's the first one:
I'm using the garage as a woodshop. It measures about 25' X 21'. It's just for me. We also have another garage/shop that measures about 25' X 30' (belongs to LOML). I am planning to convert it into more of a room and less like a garage. We are never parking cars in there. We don't care about home resale value. We have no plans to leave except in a box.
So we've talked about taking one garage door down and walling it in. I think we should take out both garage doors and put in a double door or sliding door.
Here's my thinking.
1) if we leave one garage door, that door is difficult to insulate and seal well.
2) I lose a lot of wall space, not just for the door, but all around the door because of the rails the door rides on.
LOML says
1) it will be more difficult for me to move big machines in and out of the shop to work outside.
Do you think I should lose *both* doors or keep one?
