    Are you tired of your garage serving as nothing more than a cluttered storage space? Ever dreamt of transforming it into a functional room that adds value to your home? Well, stay tuned because in this video, I'm going to unveil how I converted my garage into a practical living space and the complete cost breakdown of the whole project!
    Welcome back to Loving Tech Life and if we’re meeting for the first time I’m David Loving and this is where I share my love of consumer and gaming tech with tips, tutorials and reviews based on my experiences. Today’s video is something a bit different. I'm thrilled to share with you an exciting project that I embarked on recently - the transformation of my garage into a fully functional room. From the initial planning stages to the final touches, I documented every step of the way, including all the costs involved. So, if you've been considering a garage conversion but weren't sure about the budget, you're in the right place. I’m going share some invaluable tips I learned along the journey and make sure you stick around to the end of the video for the full cost breakdown. If you want to jump to various stages in the video I’ve put timestamps in for everything. With that said let’s get into it!
    A quick disclaimer before we jump into the details, it's important to note that this channel primarily focuses on consumer & gaming tech, not home renovation or building. While I've dabbled in DIY projects and home renovation in the past, I'm far from being a professional in this field. So, if you're expecting expert-level advice, you might be in the wrong place! That said, if you're curious about my experience converting my garage into a room and the costs involved, stick around. I'm sure there are plenty of decisions I've made that could be improved upon, and I'm open to hearing your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below.
    To begin with let me show you the garage space I had to work with, explain what I wanted to use this space for and the reasons why.

      @@LovingTechLife I wish. I don't have such a storage room to turn into a regular room but I always like to see what creative things people are up to. Have aspirations to do so maybe in a future home with multiple (spare) rooms.
