Although the electrical system and the roof would really need some professional work, and if you had to remodel the whole place, it could get pricey. I have to say, when I first saw the grenier, I automatically thought of converting it to a home theater room. It seems to have the area for it. <br /><br /><a href="http://audioinput.com/home-theater/" rel="nofollow">Angel Garcia</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263955971052529421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-9882051209333588862012-07-08T08:51:27.950+02:002012-07-08T08:51:27.950+02:00Oooh!

The price depends on how it is renovated. There are a lot of people who pay "au black" or under the table to workers that may or may not be legal.
