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.

South Dakota shows some of the earliest geologic history of the continent in the rock formations of the ancient Black Hills and in the Badlands. In the area between the White River and the south fork of the Cheyenne, the Badlands display in their deeply eroded clay gullies not only colorful, fantastic shapes, but also a wealth of easily accessible marine and land fossils (the Badlands National Monument preserves the area for its startling scenery and geologic interest). From east to west the state rises some 6,000 ft (1,829 m) to Harney Peak (7,242 ft/2,207 m) in the Black Hills, highest point in the United States E of the Rockies.
