I am trying to convince hubby to put an addition on the house. My oldest son loves RockBand playing drums and it needs to get out of the main house - and I'd like to have a nice rec room that we can shut the door on to kind of muffle the sound if you know what I mean... I also like the idea of having a place where my kids will want to hang out with their friends when they are teens instead of going to other people's house - a nice, private rec room would be priceless....
Anyhoooo.... I realize that you rarely ever get what you put in to an improvement but to me it will be worth it to not get headaches from all the noise noise noise (I feel like the Grinch lol)
Do you reckon it is better to brick up the garage door, put in a doorway and turn the 1 1/2 car attached garage in to a rec room and build a 2 car detached garage....
or put an addition off the back of the house that is a kind of L shape instead? I think the addition won't look as nice and it will also mean we'll lose the windows in the main living room area since it would be coming off of that area.
I think the detached garage is the way to go but he thinks it will detract from our home value.
Hubby also wants to have a storm shelter installed since we are not loving the tornadoes here and they seem to be getting worse every year. I'm going to blame global warming on that lol. I am glad he wants to do that!! I wanted it when we moved here but he thought it was silly. Our home just doesn't have a good place to really hunker down in the event of a tornado.
I was just curious if anyone has any thoughts on it.
