    Once I hit 20, I was on my own. No matter what happened, I could never go back home. I stayed in abusive marriages and have lived just above the poverty line as a single mother. I will stand by my kids no matter what until I’m dead. You guys are what parents are supposed to be. Not every family has the ability to do this, but that doesn’t matter. It’s the idea that counts.

    After years of struggling as a single mom, I asked in a moment of sadness, if when my son goes off to college in the future, could I live in the room above parents garage so I could finish my degree & get to a better place? The answer was painfully, no. If parents were hit with a medical condition, elderly challenges, then I'd likely be welcome because I'd serve a purpose. My door will always be open for my son, no matter what. He could have my room if that's all there was. I don't need much. Food, shelter, love and a sense of belonging. To be appreciated is the greatest gift. So true who said it above, this reno is magnificent and some kids really do hit the jackpot. Bless these parents beautiful hearts.

      To be fair, it may just be tough love. I know a family whose adult daughter hasn’t worked in nearly 20 years, because they enable her-she lives with them, and when they try to speak to her about getting a job, she gets angry. If an adult is holding down a job though or going to school, I think it’s awesome if they can live with their parents. This is actually how it’s done in most countries outside the USA.

      Pros and cons. Parents drive away kids at 18, some kids feel entitled and while still under the roof of their parents, they are spoiled, lazy, and no directions just fun. But if your kids are responsible, graduated school, have decent job but could not cope wd high rent, this could be ideal arrangement. Basically it would all begin wd parents how they nurture and help kids grow as responsible decent kids. Maybe high probability that the kid grow up well. Some would be spoiled and lazy. Cant do much abt it, have to implement tough love.

      @@thehungrygoldfish I don't know about what's going on exactly in your country, but let's say, I know there are some very very expensive citys like NYC. Incredible! Even more expensive than here! I also don't know much about the average salary of an average person and the average price of housing outside NYC etc.
      But Germany is the country in Europe with the least house owners, because it's just unaffordable. Also renting becomes more and more unaffordable.
      One thing is, that your country has muuuuuuuch more space for people to live. Look at the map! Less space means higher prices. Sure there are parts of e.g. Eastern Germany with very cheap housing prices, both buying and renting, but there are not many jobs. The places with jobs are very expensive, many people live there, not much space, we absolutely don't have enough flats.
      I live in Munich, the prices are ridiculous and raised triple in the last ten years. No normal earning person can afford a flat, let alone a house! For example, just saw it yesterday: 432.000€ (around the same in US Dollars) for an apartment = no separate bedroom, only one little room. WTF?! The prices also don't really lower when you try to get out of town. Maybe around 80-100km away, in case theres not another town with jobs. You have to get far into the countryside AND have a good pair job with home office, then you can start thinking about getting a house (otherwise you pay your butt off for fuel, the prices here are higher than in your country). But still then you don't have those houses and garages, because still there not the amount of cheap land to build on. And not to forget, the stricter and stricter rules for building environmental friendly, which push up the prices even more.
      And yes, poverty is raising and raising in Germany.

We did ours for 40 thou with me quitting my job to work full time on the remo beginning with relocating all the garage stuff. We're in construction so we had subs, tools and knowledge. Our garage was smaller than yours so became a studio apartment. I did all the prime and paint myself, all cleaning and trash. I helped all the subs except the electrician as he had his wife for a helper. We didn't do all the fancy finishes like you did and I never took a wage for 2 years. 40 thou was as inexpensive as I could make it w/o being cheap. The in floor heating and tiled walk-in shower was our splurge for dads comfort. Yours turned out very very nice. Ours is nice but was a great sacrifice.

    Love it! By not wasting space on hallways, you were able to use it all for living space. Hallways eat up square footage that should be used to get more use of every living area in a home. If I were doing the renovation, I would get a smaller washer and dryer because your dryer is too high up for me. I am on the short side and also disabled. I can't handle that bathroom step, but raising the bathroom floor meant you could just run the plumbing between the original floor and the new one. This undoubtedly saved you time, energy, and money. There isn't room there to have a short ramp instead of the step, but there is another alternative for disabled people. That would be to have a new, raised floor for the entire apartment, with a short ramp outside the entry door. I noticed that the ceiling is pretty high, so there is plenty of vertical space to do that. I would call this a studio apartment, as the bedroom isn't fully enclosed. However, the bedroom alcove is well partitioned off, so it does have a nice, private feel. The vent holes are a big help with the air circulation, and having them high up maintains the private feel of the bedroom alcove. I like the internal window, too, because it lets in more natural light while again maintaining that private feeling in the bedroom alcove. I like the whole place, and my issues regarding accessibility could be easily fixed in a similar renovation, so I give this place 5 stars!

I spoke to the contractor about putting in a bathroom. He gave me a quote of only 13k for a standard bathroom, nothing fancy. So, one day I hope to add a bathroom. Then my son’s clients would not have to come into the house. It would be perfect.
