I've been wanting to renovate my small 12x24 motorcycle garage ever since I bought my house. When I got it the only way in and out was through the overhead door. It only had 2 incandescent bulbs on the ceiling and no insulation. It looked pretty much like this except for the 2 8 foot FL lights I added on move-in weekend. Since then I also installed a man door in the side and a window on the far end.
Since then I insulated the walls with R-13 and installed an OSB ceiling and blew in approximately R-40 into the attic. I put in a small heater from Northern Tool which easily keeps it at 50 when I'm not out there with little add'l elecrtic usage
Before I drywalled I put in a new 20 amp circuit for some additional receptacles (mainly one for the fridge) and ran speaker wire for 4 speakers, HDMI and an outlet for hanging a TV as well.
This is where I was last week
And this is about where I am now. Sanding drywall tomorrow.
Hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have everything painted, flooring (haven't decided yet), a new workbench full of cabinets, and a TV/Stereo system. Someday I'll actually be able to work on some motorcycles!
