Garage Conversions
Converting a garage is one of the easiest ways of getting extra space in your home, without adding an entire room. By taking care of waterproofing, opening up windows and bringing up a wall, you can convert your garage into a bedroom or family room. Remember, that a garage conversion will include electric and plumbing work, and installation of heating and cooling systems. You can also create additional storage space to continue using your garage to hold seasonal items and materials, household and gardening tools etc.
Having a designated storage area in your garage conversion will enable you to have extra space for storage, as well as a family room or home gym. If you have the luxury of space, consider multiple uses for your converted garage. For instance, if you plan to convert your garage into a room for socializing, you will also need to install an extra bathroom, a bar area and an entertainment center. A room like this can also easily double as a family room. Chalk out your garage addition plans to meet your needs perfectly. An extra bedroom will always need an attached bath, so allow for additional plumbing expenses. A home cinema will need extensive rewiring of the garage. A larger kitchen will need heavy duty appliances, like a freezer and therefore, may need additional wiring.
Some areas require special building permits before you begin garage conversion. For instance, if you convert your garage to a bedroom, you may need to install an emergency exit as per local Tulsa, OK area building codes. If your garage conversion leads to defects in the drainage system of your property, you may need additional work done to handle this. Extra permits will also be needed. Some areas will need permits to replace the garage door with the window. Make sure that all permits are in place before you begin your garage conversion remodel.

I am selling my house. I need to replace my whirlpool tub in my master bath. It is a corner whirlpool tub that is 60 inches by 60 inches. It is 18.5 inches tall. I have seen a nearly identical tub at Lowes (but it is 22 inches tall). Please provide an estimate for replacing my tub or installing the tub from Lowes.
