Over the years, I have seen very many homes where the internal garage
has been converted into an extra room, never until now have I seen one
converted back :), though what you have with your lab is a very
efficient use of the available space.

We built a 12m x 7m shed in the backyard, (google street view
conveniently showed up while the concretors were there doing the path,
and while there was still builders stuff sitting on the footpath)
parked the cars in there, that freed up the house double garage area
for a substantial workshop space.  (due to the amount of paying work
increasing steadily, the space was needed). The shed was also good for
getting other stuff out of the workshop, like the mower, gardening
stuff etc. as well as  "junk" that tends to get stored for years
before finally being tossed out.  I keep getting tempted by the idea
of putting a basic home gym in part of the shed too, but that will be
for later.

Should put some pics up someday

Same :).

I am 90% sure that she would let me if I had to, but unless it was
really really essential, out of respect for her
I wouldn't push the matter.
