No such thing as a bonus room. It was factored into the price.

[@blatherskyt]

I think they call it bonus... because those rooms don't have I-beams... rather they have 10"x2" joists... which makes the "bonus room" less desirable because of it's floor. Bonus... aka... annoying because you can't use the sides of it and because the flooring is less solid than other rooms. Go figure.

[@FreedomFishing]

It's called bonus because it can be transformed into a conditioned space that increases square footage, but typically is not legally a habitable space like a bedroom. More often I see them called Unfinished Bonus Rooms.

[@JOIHIINI]

​@blatherskyt I see I beams used as the floor system. But yeah as someone that owns 7 grand pianos one for each room in my house I can get your point. I'd have to settle for a standard piano without I beams for this particular room. Why even have storage space if I can't keep my looney tunes style anvil collection in it either.

I use the space as my office, where I have a computer and drawing board set up. Unfortunately my builder used attic trusses to frame the space so I can't cut an access panel greater than 22 1/2inches wide. The finished office space is great.

I always wanted a wood paneled attic with open space in front a huge window with a faux or real fireplace on the opposite wall. I would use it as library/yoga studio. In the winters I would pretend it’s a cabin and snuggle up in there on a comfy futon with a book and hot cider. Would love to hear the snow or rain coming down on the roof. So relaxing.

[@shamarcamargo1108]

I have had this kind of storage space before. Only downside is that the stuff at far end becomes inaccessible. Two different solutions. 1. Put “under bed” boxes on wheels with robust cordage tied to the handle before pushing boxes into this area under the “eaves” as my mother would call this space. Then tugging on each cord will pull each box forward as you are searching for what you need. 2. It also helps if there’s an access point at both ends. This furnishes light, air and accessibility to most of the stuff when you are down there dealing with it. Otherwise it just gets left in there for eternity and gives rodents a great place to nest

I would keep it at ambient air temperature outside in the winter so the snow on the roof melts correctly like what attics were designed for in the first place.

[@centrecore09]

Have on exactly like that in my parents house above their garage. Make sure you finish with moisture barrier insulation and sealed tight. We used caulk on the drywall joints. T h e pressure from the wind coming from the garage and negative air flow in the house will cause your roof insulation and possibly as in their case shingles and ridge vent blows out.

There was three floors to our old victorian. The top floor was a hardwood clapboard paneled walk up attic. Two bedrooms and a small office were up there, but no ac or heat. We installed baseboard electric heaters. Yet, the roof needed to be redone so it was always damp. We couldnt really use the space efficiently. In a newer build, I'd definitely include heat/ac by adding a mini split. Then, I'd use the space as a billiard room/small arcade with the side area used for storage.
