Reading this makes me want to do my detached garage...If only I had money, haha. I've got a 24x28 garage that is nothing more than a place we dump our junk and store our lawnmower. My wife keeps telling me I should turn it into a studio, but I know it would cost too much. I wish I knew more about building stuff so I could do it myself...
Fuggin' A!!!! Do it, Nate!! that'd be one hell of a big place (IMHO).
just buy one of those little rubbermaid sheds from Home Depot or something, put your lawnmower, etc out there ... and throw the rest of the stuff away!
If your garage is insulated - you may be one step ahead of the game.
Even if you have to do it one piece at a time - just jump in with both feet!
When my stuff is done - it's (more or less) gonna be a well insulated room with my treatment and equipment (which isn't a lot).
Sure it'll have a security system connected to my main home security - but other than that - that's all I can afford right now.
I can't afford building a nice cabinet to place my monitors, and I can't afford to "sound-proof" the room entirely.
But the way I see it: it's a hell of lot better than where I was before this started ...
not to mention, when I'm making tutorial videos there won't be any children laughing, fighting, or crying in the background either!
But that is just my humble opinion. For what it's worth.
Thanks for the reply!
Take care
Scott
