The New Ceiling
We just finished another big project. We have one of those dreaded garage-conversions on the north side of our house. It is actually a great space, and we use it for a pantry, laundry room, hobbies, and music. The walls are insulated, but the ceiling is not. The space is unheated, but there is a gas outlet. The main problem in this room was a 7-1/2 ft. ceiling. Mike took out the false ceiling, and we liked the look of the bare wood ceiling 9 or 10 ft. above our heads, so he added a strip of wallboard to finish the walls. Our new roof will add a layer of insulation, and we will get a gas fireplace for heat.

Another problem in this room is the window with a view of the new garage that was tacked on by the previous owner. Mike put a skylight in the garage, and I put frosted window film on the window to diffuse the light from the skylight and to obscure the view of the garage storage. It isn’t a perfect solution, but it is better than a dead, black window, and we weren’t ready to tear down the garage in order to bring the window back to life.
