According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average cost of converting a garage into living space is $6,343. Homeowners who remodeled detached garages spent an average of $6,254 in 2001, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University.
Most people use their garages for storage, so the hot trends are things that maximize space, such as storage and shelving. Another popular trend is good lighting, especially if the garage is a hobby area. An important idea for maximizing the limited space is to line the walls with a material you can use to hang tools and equipment. Plywood or salt-board are good options. You as the homeowner can hang tools almost anywhere in the garage, and you have the flexibility to rearrange everything at will.

The broad level lands that gave Illinois the nickname Prairie State were fashioned by late Cenozoic glaciation, which leveled rugged ridges and filled valleys over the northern and central parts of the state. The fertile prairies are drained by more than 275 rivers, most of which flow to the Mississippi-Ohio system; the Illinois is the largest river in the state.
