A WOMAN has revealed that she transformed her parents garage into a bedroom for her, her husband and her kids to live in. Andrea Martinez shared an insight into the conversion via a video posted to her YouTube channel. The mum said that she was helped in the conversion with both her husband and her dad, who tried their best, despite not being professionals.
Andrea explained that the garage is a two car garage, that is 18 feet wide and 18 and a half feet long. Before the conversion. the garage was a mess, with rubbish and knick knacks all over the floor.
The families first job was to clean out the garage, and then they headed to the hardware shop to pick up materials. Next, they filled in the cracks in the floor and then removed the garage door, and built a wall to replace it. The family then insulated the walls, and put up drywall, before priming and painting the walls.
Wood flooring was then added, and a ceiling fan was installed to keep the family cool in summer. When the conversion was complete, it was time to add furniture, and Andrea added a large double bed, a small bed for her toddler and a cot for her baby. She also added a fridge, a TV and some storage units.
The garage is just a bedroom, so the family will have to head into Anna's parents house if they want to use the kitchen or bathroom. Andrea said the project is not quite finished yet, and plans to head to Ikea to pick up some bargains to make it look homely. She said the project cost her just £1250 to complete,.
