    Ready to DIY my Garage Floor... Any ideas? (Pics included)

    Thank you. If this is the best way, I will do it. I was planning on using my angle grinder with the following 2 items from Harbor Freight: HERCULES 4-1/2 in. Diamond Segmented Turbo Cup Wheel https://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-diamond-segmented-turbo-cup-wheel-57849.html and HERCULES 7 in...

    Ready to DIY my Garage Floor... Any ideas? (Pics included)

    Please ignore the water that is drying as I pressure washed the floor this afternoon (I do this about once year around Labor Day). 2 years ago I painted my garage white and replaced 2 windows from Windows E-Store and I have been happy the results. Looks much cleaner. Right now, the eye sore is...

    What is best way to insulate detached garage without building an "attic space"?

    Thanks. Cost-effective and DIY is important to me. I'm more or less trying to find the sweet spot without cutting corners. I do like doing things right, but I don't want to overkill it. I won't be living in the garage full-time. Just to be clear, my garage doesn't have any vents at all (in...

    What is best way to insulate detached garage without building an "attic space"?

    I'm researching this now. So in my case, since I don't want to create an attic space or "vent the roof", spray foam is the only option? To not see the "ugly foam" I may consider adding plywood/drywall to he under side of the rafters. Is this the correct method? For the walls, it sounds like I...

    What is best way to insulate detached garage without building an "attic space"?

    Is spray foam generally a DIY Job? If not, may consider getting some quotes for this. I'm pretty handy, but know my limitations if it's not something I have done before. If I have to use roll-in insulation between the rafters, I'm not opposed to paneling it with drywall/plywood. Especially if...

    What is best way to insulate detached garage without building an "attic space"?

    What is the best way to insulate the ceiling of this garage without building an "attic" space? The ceiling of this garage is not high and I would prefer it opened up like it is so it won't feel so claustrophobic. Also, I usually stack taller wood/gutters vertically (like pictures). Adding...

    bump... any input on this older thread I created? It's -8 degrees out in Denver and I'm looking to plan ahead for spring/Summer work for this thread. I would like to use this garage space more in the winter than I do now. What is the best way to insulate this garage without creating an attic...

    Help me design my Garage (unfinished, 20x13, 1-car detached)

    Bump, any thoughts on these two items: 1) Roof/Ceiling insulation (please see Interior Pictures above) - I'm hoping to avoid building a "ceiling" if it all possible. 2) Crack in Concrete slab (please see Crack on slab floor pics above). I'm leaning toward Quikrete Self-Leveling poly caulk to...

    Hello from SC

    We are from Denver, CO - last summer we flew down to Ft. Lauderdale and drove all the way up to Corolla, NC. Enjoyed our time in Myrtle Beach (First time I ever saw a JellyFish on the shore). Plenty of Beers down at the LandShark waiting for the SkyWheel. Hope to be back on that side of town soon.
