Movin' on....

I want to convert the garage into a guesthouse.

Thinking about:

• Removing and replacing the roof with a steep pitch to create a second floor room.
• Insulating, adding a (first floor) bathroom, and replacing the two large garage doors with windows.
• Installing a spiral staircase.
• Installing a heat and cooling source.

To keep the cost down, I will go simple and do as much of the work as possible myself.

Appreciate design ideas, technical suggestions, and what to avoid.

Thanks.
