At my house we have a three car garage. We turned the bay closest to the tower into a 10X15 radio room by filling in the floor with concrete, tiling the floor to match the house and adding a new wall 8 feet inside the roll up door. Add HVAC duct off the whole house system, run a 240 VAC circuit and repurpose the existing 110 VAC circuits and we are good to go. The remaining 8 foot space becomes storage with access from the original roll up door.
