Quoted from DruTheFu:I have mine in garage as well. Granted, my garage is a 4-car (2x2 deep). Front half for 2 cars, back half for my games and entertainment.
Being not too far from you, I know the climate you’re dealing with. The garage gets toasty in the Summer, jacket in the Winter. Spring and Fall perfection. 95% of the time, I’m not flippin’ until at least the later evening because of work and Dadding, so the temps don’t bother me much. In hotter times, I have a 24” round floor standing fan that I use to quickly churn the air between the big garage door and back door prior to hunkering down. Does the trick. In the colder times, I’m comfortable in a long sleeve shirt or flannel. Sometimes even a t-shirt is fine once the ya get moving around.
This was the area of the house I was granted for my space, either had to adapt or have nothing. Once the kids move on in life, I will slide my way in to a vacated downstairs bedroom. But even then, I like it out here, I probably won’t even move. I can be loud and not bother anyone. Plus enough space for additions. If only we had basements out here like they do back East. Such a rarity here.
(There was a TZ next to GB, but vacated space waiting for R&M)

Wow that looks amazing ! I like how some of these garages are setup, but in my case I only have a 2 car and a single car garage.
As for removing the back box I had thought of doing this, but I would be freaked out to take something like my MMRE apart to move it upstairs and I also wonder if taking it apart would jeopardize the warranty at all.
I am still looking into the idea of the equipment lift as it appears that would work really well, but only until I out grow my home office.
I am impressed with some of these garages that have been transformed into game rooms as they look amazing.
