Hi there, I'm new so please don't bite :) based in the uk I'm doing a garage conversion but the size i've got to work with is quite restricted. I need two rooms (control and live) though i realise that they will both be VERY small. the overall size I've got to work with is 18' x 10' x 9' with the door on the 10' wall. no problem about the noise AT ALL. both the 18' walls go through to my house and my neighbours house, so can't touch those and the far 10' is the outside, but there is a garage door in the way and i don't want to be bricking that up. could anybody do some sketchup's for me, as i've tried and failed miserably, as you can see :( budget of about £500 give or take a couple. Thank you very much, Lewis

Comply to forum rules and nobody has a reason to... find the part on top of the forum where it says "Read this before you post". Welcome to the forum by the way, Lewis!
just editted it, hopefully that's a bit better. If i've missed anything I do apologise. Lewis
A lot of information that I have read suggests that this should be taken as a one room project. I realize it looks "cool" to have a live room and a control room, but not only will people be cramped, hard to get air in and/or out of and also difficult to tune PLUS the money goes up...but you will not get either of the two small rooms to sound near as good as one larger room. If I were you, I would read much more about this subject, read until you decide that you do not "need" two small rooms. Welcome
