Living in the Garage before you build the house

Living in the Garage before you build the house

The formal, term for garage living is "accessory dwelling unit", a description that works only in the most routine way to describe the great assortment of garages that offer everything from extra earnings to a quite mind.

I once believed of the accessory dwelling unit to be the mother-in-law apartment, but its practicality outspreads beyond that idea.  Garage living has been memorialized in some old time favorite TV classics such as My Favorite Martian (in which as ad man allows a stranded Martian to hide out in his garage) and Happy Days (in which The Fonz lived atop the Cunningham's garage).  Absolute Garage Builders in Chicago has a 2 car garage plan that will offer these garage accommodations, with isolated entrance, bath, and kitchen, that can offer the perfect protection against those friends or relatives who stay longer than a couple of days.

Of the garages built today, 20 percent or so contain garage livable space.  More times than not the garage is the garage apartment; built beforehand, these "starter garages" offer a place to hang your hat and a place to park your car.  The benefits of constructing the house before the garage would appear to be obvious: a place to cook as opposed to a place to park; a place to shower versus a place to put the car.  Consider the garage with live in possibilities, one that combines the efficiency of apartment living with its own parking spot; a garage on its way to become—once the house is built—a guest palace, a home office, or a way to make extra income by renting.

Folks in this day are building their 2 car garages prior to building their house.  Absolute Garage Builders offers these starter garages and they combine the benefits of apartment life with home ownership, and they come with a place to park the car.  Having an appreciation for a living space that is smaller makes you realize this kind of arrangement makes a lot of sense as you see its simplicity and efficiency.  The starter garages by Absolute Garage Builders range from a budget starter 1 car garage to a high-end attached garage.
