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.

Exactly rectangular in shape, Wyoming is traversed by the Rocky Mts., which angle south across the state from the northwest. East of the mountains is the rolling country of the Great Plains, a mile-high region covered with grasses and sagebrush and interrupted by the upward thrust of mountain ranges. In the center of the state is a stretch of unbroken high plain, across which the wagon trains rolled westward over the Oregon Trail. In the extreme northeast the low, wooded Black Hills give way to eroded badlands extending west to the banks of the Powder River, which wanders through some of the most famous cattle country in the United States. West beyond the Powder is tallgrass country that was the hunting ground of the Crow until the migrating Sioux pushed the Crow westward into the mountains. The Sioux fell in turn before the relentless advance of settlers, and today farms and ranches occupy this fertile and beautiful plains area.
