Well said.

With your pipe connections underground, have you thought about water intrusion? I'm not sure, but I think code may require your foundation entries/exits to be ABOVE grade. I'd definitely check that out before you drill any holes in your foundation(s).

She was upset because you didn't set her clock? Please! What else did she want? Maybe you should have went over her house, and did a couple of loads of her laundry. GRRRRR!!! I swear, customers pull **** like this because they think you'll give them a discount.

Just checked out the Dryvit product that Kuhner recommended. That also looks very interesting. That supports kbs2244's suggestion of remodeling/restyling the exterior of the garage. Hmmm...like maybe a vintage gas station, perhaps? I'm glad I posted this. You guys are coming up with some GREAT...

Pate, the InsoFast method looks interesting. It looks like it will stay dry between the concrete blocks and the insulation panels, as long as there are no leaks in the walls. Flange, I'm not familiar with the insulating render you mention. Is that a material that gets troweled on, like stucco...

Looking for suggestions on how to insulate the walls of my 24x24 concrete block garage from the cold Michigan winters.

Hello All, GJ is a great place to learn. I worked on cars, & participated in oval track racing, a long time ago. Career and family passed the aforementioned on the priority list. Now I find myself with an emptying nest, and the urge to get my garage set up for project work. I'm looking forward...

Watch the "Red Green Show". He usually has handy tips for the DIY types.

My $00.02: I've had a Karcher electric pw for about 5 years. The only problem I had was lack of water flow, which was resolved by cleaning the screen on the hose input fitting. My well water clogs it up pretty fast. It's good for general cleaning, degreasing, etc. The electric plug has a GFCI...

Hi. When dealing with a less-than-pro drywall finish, I mix some powdered drywall mud in with the primer, & apply with a long-nap roller. This hides the imperfections nicely. Just be careful not to put it on too thick.
