Addition vs detached shed/building — what would you do?
I need another temp-controlled room because I have another child now. My son is almost 9, so eventually he could use the space too.
I’m debating between:
adding a room (or 2) onto my house
OR getting a really nice insulated detached building about 10 feet behind the house
If I do the detached building, I’d fully finish it:
mini split
insulation
drywall
flooring
power/internet
I’m trying to avoid spending $50k–$100k+ on an addition just for another room or 2
For those who’ve done either:
what would you recommend?
any regrets?
does the detached setup still feel practical long term?
