As a garage door tech, I have too many questions.
Such as, where is that spring line? Where is the rest of the tracking? Who installed that motor, and why? It looks like it was installed in the last handful of years. It’s also installed in a helluva way, but, given the headroom, I can excuse it, but, without tracking or a spring line, that motor isn’t doing shit… so why is it there? Wtf is going on here?! This is causing a crisis.
So, it turns out, (as someone pointed out) it’s a one piece garage door, I don’t see these where I live due to snow. So, it likely actually works, crisis kinda averted.
Probably in case of inspection if they didn’t get permits to make the garage a bedroom
I thinking the same thing. This looks a lot like my neighbor’s garage, and I’m 99% sure he didn’t get a permit.
The springs are visible. Not sure about the tracks. Probably removed to save headroom.
Edit: Looks like this kit specifically https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/e508c57f-cd3c-40c9-a1b0-9ac49283b69b/svn/e900-hardware-garage-door-parts-e900-r-4f_600.jpg
Oh good catch! I don’t see one piece garage doors like this where I live, due to snow, so I’ve never seen this in action!
I’ve never seen a new one either, just old wooden one piece doors. The last one I used had cables and pulleys to a counterweight on the far side of the garage, no springs.
This comment was a rollercoaster! Thank god crisis is adverted!

That’ll be $2000 please
Only the finest in indoor outdoor living. We know what we’ve got.
My cousin did something like that, he had to move so he bought a lot, built a garage with a second floor, he had his kitchen/livingroom on the ground level. That gave him a place to live in right next to the house he was building. Once the house was finished he moved his stuff and now has a sweet heated garage with loads of storage space on the second floor.
In his case he had to build a temporary wall inside to enclose the garage door because of winters.
Your cousin did exactly what I’ve always wanted to do. I’ll never be able to afford a house build while already having a mortgage…but I COULD afford the land and a garage apartment.
Everyone tells me it’s a stupid idea but it’s the only way I see it being possible - and it clearly works.
Just gotta make sure it’s ok with the municipality first because you’re building the garage as being inhabitable and then you’re building a second inhabitable building on the same lot, which might not be accepted.
Looks like a porn shooting room
Ahh yes time to be really cold in the winter and really hot in the summer.
the rug really ties the room…er, the garage together
