I am starting this thread so that I can post the pictures as the construction goes on. Right now, we are waiting to get the building permit, but I have the pictures from where we emptied out the garage.
For those new to the story, we have been living with MIL and her house is too small. I have 5 in my family. that's mother, hubby, myself and our 2 teenagers, 1 girl and 1 boy. MIL has on her 2nd lot, which is now in the names of hubby & I, a 3 bay garage that also has storage area. It is 1344 sq feet and has 11 foot ceilings to the rafters. Father-in-law had at one point a pontoon boat, a SeaCraft boat for salt water and then hubby's Allison bass boat, there were also 2 John boats and 5 canoes in there along with all of MIL's outdoor Christmas decorations.
We are converting the garage into a 4 bedroom 2 bath home. It will be deaf accessible. Since we live on the flight path to an International airport, we are required to have special windows for the noise and also hurricane safe glass.
Now, on to the pictures. To begin with, I have the ones showing some of the boxes and stuff we had. Keep in mind, we moved our family from out of state and had packed a 26 foot Ryder truck and most of that stuff was in the garage.
