Partitioning off exercise room in garage
Comments (20)The garage windows face front and it's a very pretty part of the house, and the side where it could be put through the wall is totally visible as part of our front yard, so we can't have a window or wall AC. Not sure that's even allowed in this association. Homebound, your idea is brilliant, thank you so much, that never occurred to us. We will either do that, or spring for the big $4000 unit that gldnfan endorsed. Gldnfan thank you for that info. Also, I wondered about those rolly ACs in the situation. Thanks all for your ideas, now we know we will build a real wall with a real door, and we have our two selections of AC to choose from. Will get back and let you know what we do and how it goes. Probably sooner than I think since DH wants to try to build the wall ourselves....See MoreThe elephant in the room - exercise dilemma
Comments (21)I think that your room can handle it, since it's not uptight and reads a very authentic room. I usually dislike just about any thing that's purely functional(yep, vehicles, refregirators, electrical outlets lol, you name it)-but so what, they still make life easier. I'm also thinking about the pool-but it seems it'd be 50K with the features I want(and we didn't touch basic hardscaping yet-still tired from remodel), and I don't want to spend much space of the backyard, want a smaller pool..and it seems also a buldozer that should get there to dig must have 5 feet clearance minimum to drive through-frankly I'm not sure we have these 5 feet. But it's a huge consideration to me since it's about only exercise I might be able to handle these days. And pools that come with the gyms, I'm hesitant to use already. I feel very unsafe in showers, etc. Also harder to get there. Minimizes one's chances of keeping to the routine At this point of my life, I highly envy anyone that can exercise, you know. Where an elliptycal stands, with all my aesthetical preferences-that's really secondary. I do like screens, theoretically-I've never had one. Everything I really like is really expensive (we looked into it-sometimes we have many guests and some have to sleep in the family room which has no door-so a screen would give them more sense of privacy) In some other room, would go for a screen. Here-I don't know..it might be that screen wil end up being too big, more obtrusive than helpful. In short I'd put up with it too..if drives me crazy with time, then I'd think whether to change anything. But I support your priorities more than I can ever express....See MoreLooking for suggestions on how to best insulate an storage that is at
Comments (4)I would probably insulate the exterior walls and roof with batt insulation, and cover with drywall or plywood. That would keep the stuff being stored from severe temperature swings, help insulate your house, and provide some long-term value to the house. Once a freezer gets to temperature, it only contributes a little waste heat to a space....See MoreNeed suggestions about bedroom storage without a closet
Comments (5)Years ago I had an apartment with this problem. I got a bunch of covered Target free standing racks and made covers for them in nice fabric. https://www.target.com/p/whitmor-supreme-clothes-closet-white/-/A-52273623#lnk=sametab Some are so nice, you don't have to make a cover (but this one has more shelves than room to hang - you'll have to get on the internet and do a little searching). Use the words: free standing clothes racks. https://www.target.com/p/home-basics-storage-closet-with-shelving-grey/-/A-81171466#lnk=sametab...See Moremarys235
