I was wondering about taking 6ft off the end of the internal garage and making it into a big storage cupboard accessible from inside the house. It’d need a partition at the end of the garage, a floor (the garage floor is a foot or so lower than the house) and a doorway into the hallway.
The garage floor is level with the outside floor, so I think that means it’s below the damp-proof course. Presumably then the new section would need DPC in it to keep the wooden suspended floor dry…?
As for the door – the wall is made of thermalite blocks so I could easily cut it, but I’d need to install a lintel first before cutting a doorway. No idea how to install the actual door and frame though.
Sound like a stupid idea? Terribly big job?
