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 high, short-grass plains of W Oklahoma are part of the Great Plains, which are chilled by north winds in the winter and baked by intense heat in the summer. There are extensive grazing lands and wheat fields. The plains are broken here and there, notably by Black Mesa in the Panhandle and by the Wichita Mts. in the southwest, but the general slope is downward to the east, and central and E Oklahoma is mostly prairie, rising in the northeast to the Ozark Mts. and in the southeast to the Ouachita Mts.
