Well, we have a garage, and there has never been a car parked in it. We
use it to accumulate junk. Well, I just threw out a TON of stuff, and I
was really thinking of remodeling half of the garage into a living
space my son and I could put a pool table in or do projects in the
winter without freezing in the cold.

Anyway, my wife doesn't like the idea of cutting the garage in half at
all, citing the resale value issue (is there an issue?).

Anyway, I thought it would be cool if I could come up with a
compromise.......perhaps some sort of folding partition wall that could
be easily opened up or removed if needed........

I looked around via google, and didn't see anyone mentioning ever doing
anything like this (probably because it's a crazy idea?)

Anyway, if anyone knows of any resources for clever (and easy) ways to
partially remodel a portion of a garage, that would be helpful. Thanks.

My wife has suggested that idea but I wanted none of it myself.

However, my neighbor down the street has a 2 car garage, the kind that is
not only attached to the house but is a part of it, under the same roof and
with bedrooms above. Has 2 single garage doors with brick "post" between
them. Long ago he semi-permanently converted one-half to his den/office:
Replaced the garage door with a sliding glass patio door, added interior
wall to split the garage, has drapes, some sort of flooring, bookcases,
lights, all that. Even our strict homeowners association bought off on it
although it was not allowed to be a permanent conversion....this could be
turned back to a garage as for resale in probably a weekend.
